Hi @bernd
is there a way to set the user agent
i.e. to

Code: Select all

USER_AGENT = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1"

[bernd]

I do not know how.

webkit.setPage(user_agent)
webkit.load('https://www.freecadweb.org')
webkit.show()

Maybe it's much promising to consider an alternative docking system instead of what Qt provides: https://github.com/githubuser0xFFFF/Qt- ... ing-System

This way you could just use the standard Web workbench (with the hidden toolbar and static HTML content) and dock it where you need it.
To communicate with FreeCAD though, you need some kind of server, as it was already mentioned

Check out this thread with my proof of concept: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=48611
Though it doesn't show how to open a browser in a toolbar, it shows that you might not need it. We just need to initialize multiple workbenches and make MDI windows dockable.

Alternatively, we can open the Web window in fullscreen and reimagine FreeCAD UI altogether. Though, it might be painfully slow, as WebGL is still not as optimized as the native version. But CADCloud is going somewhere: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=43502

May be. But I will not spend time on this. For me this is just some small side project. Thus I am happy if it just works.

I encoutered some very strange problem during use of browser inside task panel code ...

- start FreeCAD
- create a new document (important to do this, may be make a box)
- run Python code, a FreeCAD Forum login page will be displayed in the task panel
- try to input the numbers "0123" in the Username field, this does work
- try to input the numbers "0123" in the Password field, this does NOT work
- instead of put the numbers in the field the view in the scene changes (FreeCAD hotkey action for the keys 0, 1, 2, 3)
