### Class

# WebKit AuthenticationRequest

#### Description [src]

    final class WebKit.AuthenticationRequest : GObject.Object {
      /* No available fields */
    }

Represents an authentication request.

Whenever a client attempts to load a page protected by HTTP authentication, credentials will need to be provided to authorize access. To allow the client to decide how it wishes to handle authentication, WebKit will fire a `WebKitWebView::authenticate` signal with a WebKitAuthenticationRequest object to provide client side authentication support. Credentials are exposed through the `WebKitCredential` object.

In case the client application does not wish to handle this signal WebKit will provide a default handler. To handle authentication asynchronously, simply increase the reference count of the WebKitAuthenticationRequest object.
