Customizing Page Request Responses

The Web component supports customization of the response to intercepted page requests. You can call onInterceptRequest() to customize web page responses, file resource responses, and more.

When a resource loading request is initiated on a web page, the application layer will receive the request. The application layer then constructs a local resource response and sends it to the web kernel. On receiving the response, the web kernel parses the response and loads page resources accordingly.

In the following example, the Web component intercepts the web page request https://www.example.com/test.html and constructs a custom response in the application code.

Code of the index.html page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<!-- Page resource request ->
<a href="https://www.example.com/test.html">intercept test!</a>
</body>
</html>

Application code:

// xxx.ets
import web_webview from '@ohos.web.webview';

@Entry
@Component
struct WebComponent {
  controller: web_webview.WebviewController = new web_webview.WebviewController()
  responseResource: WebResourceResponse = new WebResourceResponse()
  // Customize a response.
  @State webData: string = '<!DOCTYPE html>\n' +
  '<html>\n'+
  '<head>\n'+
  '<title>intercept test</title>\n'+
  '</head>\n'+
  '<body>\n'+
  '<h1>intercept ok</h1>\n'+
  '</body>\n'+
  '</html>'
  build() {
    Column() {
      Web({ src: $rawfile('index.html'), controller: this.controller })
        .onInterceptRequest((event) => {
          if (event) {
            console.info('url:' + event.request.getRequestUrl());
            // Intercept the web page request.
            if (event.request.getRequestUrl() !== 'https://www.example.com/test.html') {
              return null;
            }
          }
          // Construct a custom response.
          this.responseResource.setResponseData(this.webData);
          this.responseResource.setResponseEncoding('utf-8');
          this.responseResource.setResponseMimeType('text/html');
          this.responseResource.setResponseCode(200);
          this.responseResource.setReasonMessage('OK');
          return this.responseResource;
        })
    }
  }
}

Create a CodeCache object for a JavaScript resource in a custom request response: If the resource of a custom request response is a JavaScript script, you can add the ResponseDataID field to the response header. After obtaining this field, the Web kernel generates a CodeCache object, which accelerates JavaScript execution. Any changes to the ResponseDataID field must be notified to the Web component. If the ResponseDataID field is not added, no CodeCache object is created by default.

In the following example, the Web component intercepts the web page request https://www.example.com/test.js; a custom response is constructed in the application code, with the ResponseDataID field added to the response header.

Code of the index.html page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>

<div id="div-1">this is a test div</div>
<div id="div-2">this is a test div</div>
<div id="div-3">this is a test div</div>
<div id="div-4">this is a test div</div>
<div id="div-5">this is a test div</div>
<div id="div-6">this is a test div</div>
<div id="div-7">this is a test div</div>
<div id="div-8">this is a test div</div>
<div id="div-9">this is a test div</div>
<div id="div-10">this is a test div</div>
<div id="div-11">this is a test div</div>

<script src="https://www.example.com/test.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Application code:

// xxx.ets

@Entry
@Component
struct WebComponent {

  responseResource: WebResourceResponse = new WebResourceResponse()
  // Customize response data. (The CodeCache object is created only when the response data length is greater than or equal to 1024 bytes.)
  @State jsData: string = 'let text_msg = "the modified content:version 0000000000001";\n' +
    'let element1 = window.document.getElementById("div-1");\n' +
