## Description

Data source encapsulates the content of a WebKitWebFrame. A WebKitWebFrame has a main resource and subresources and the data source provides access to these resources. When a request gets loaded initially, it is set to a provisional state. The application can request for the request that initiated the load by asking for the provisional data source and invoking the webkit_web_data_source_get_initial_request method of WebKitWebDataSource. This data source may not have enough data and some methods may return empty values. To get a "full" data source with the data and resources loaded, you need to get the non-provisional data source through WebKitWebFrame's webkit_web_frame_get_data_source method. This data source will have the data after everything was loaded. Make sure that the data source was finished loading before using any of its methods. You can do this via webkit_web_data_source_is_loading.

## Functions

### webkit_web_data_source_get_data ()

    GString *
    webkit_web_data_source_get_data (WebKitWebDataSource *data_source);

Returns the raw data that represents the the frame's content.The data will be incomplete until the data has finished loading. Returns `NULL` if the web frame hasn't loaded any data. Use webkit_web_data_source_is_loading to test if data source is in the process of loading.

#### Parameters

data_source | a WebKitWebDataSource |

#### Returns

a GString which contains the raw data that represents the `data_source` or `NULL` if the `data_source` hasn't loaded any data.

### webkit_web_data_source_get_encoding ()

    const gchar *
    webkit_web_data_source_get_encoding (WebKitWebDataSource *data_source);

Returns the text encoding name as set in the WebKitWebView, or if not, the text encoding of the response.

#### Parameters

data_source | a WebKitWebDataSource |

#### Returns

the encoding name of the WebKitWebView or of the response.

Since 1.1.14

### webkit_web_data_source_get_initial_request ()

    WebKitNetworkRequest *
    webkit_web_data_source_get_initial_request
                                   (WebKitWebDataSource *data_source);

Returns a reference to the original request that was used to load the web content. The WebKitNetworkRequest returned by this method is the request prior to the "committed" load state. See webkit_web_data_source_get_request for getting the "committed" request.

#### Parameters

data_source | a WebKitWebDataSource |

#### Returns

the original WebKitNetworkRequest.

### webkit_web_data_source_get_main_resource ()

    WebKitWebResource *
    webkit_web_data_source_get_main_resource
                                   (WebKitWebDataSource *data_source);

Returns the main resource of the `data_source`

#### Parameters

data_source | a WebKitWebDataSource |

#### Returns

a new WebKitWebResource representing the main resource of the `data_source` .

Since 1.1.14

### webkit_web_data_source_get_request ()

    WebKitNetworkRequest *
    webkit_web_data_source_get_request (WebKitWebDataSource *data_source);

Returns a WebKitNetworkRequest that was used to create this WebKitWebDataSource. The WebKitNetworkRequest returned by this method is the request that was "committed", and hence, different from the request you get from the webkit_web_data_source_get_initial_request method.

#### Parameters

data_source | a WebKitWebDataSource |

#### Returns

the WebKitNetworkRequest that created the `data_source` or `NULL` if the `data_source` is not attached to the frame or the frame hasn't been loaded.

### webkit_web_data_source_get_subresources ()

    GList *
    webkit_web_data_source_get_subresources
                                   (WebKitWebDataSource *data_source);

Gives you a GList of WebKitWebResource objects that compose the WebKitWebView to which this WebKitWebDataSource is attached.

#### Parameters

data_source | a WebKitWebDataSource |

#### Returns

a GList of WebKitWebResource objects; the objects are owned by WebKit, but the GList must be freed.

                                   (WebKitWebDataSource *data_source);

Return the unreachable URI of `data_source` . The `data_source` will have an unreachable URL if it was created using WebKitWebFrame's webkit_web_frame_load_alternate_html_string method.

#### Parameters

data_source | a WebKitWebDataSource |

#### Returns

the unreachable URL of `data_source` or `NULL` if there is no unreachable URL.

Since 1.1.14

### webkit_web_data_source_get_web_frame ()

    WebKitWebFrame *
    webkit_web_data_source_get_web_frame (WebKitWebDataSource *data_source);

Returns the WebKitWebFrame that represents this data source

#### Parameters

data_source | a WebKitWebDataSource |

#### Returns

the WebKitWebFrame that represents the `data_source` . The WebKitWebFrame is owned by WebKit and should not be freed or destroyed. This will return `NULL` if the `data_source` is not attached to a frame.

### webkit_web_data_source_is_loading ()

    gboolean
