Bug ID: 478783
Summary: Stop depending on QuickWebEngineDownloadRequest
private header
Classification: Applications
Product: angelfish
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: j...@kaidan.im
Reporter: so...@stoutner.com
Target Milestone: ---
Angelfish currently depends on a private header for
QuickWebEngineDownloadRequest. This complicates efforts to maintain proper Qt
WebEngine security support in Debian. See the following two Debian bugs for
context:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1059164
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1057755
Qt 6 has a public version of this API:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtwebengine-webenginedownloadrequest.html
But for some reason, Anglefish uses the private header instead of the public
one, even though I can't see anything Anglefish is doing that can't be done
with the public API.
From
https://invent.kde.org/network/angelfish/-/blob/master/lib/angelfishwebprofile.cpp?ref_type=heads
#include <private/qquickwebenginedownloadrequest_p.h>
If Anglefish does somehow need some functionality that is not included in the
public API, the best course of action would probably be to request that Qt
publicly expose that functionality.
