## Property Documentation

path : string

This property is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Use suggestedFileName, downloadDirectory, and downloadFileName instead.

Holds the full target path where data is being downloaded to.

The path includes the file name. The default suggested path is the standard download location and file name is deduced not to overwrite already existing files.

The download path can only be set in the downloadRequested handler before the download is accepted.

See also WebEngineProfile::downloadRequested() and accept().

[read-only] type : enumeration

This property is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source code working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Describes the requested download's type.

Note: This property works unreliably, except for `SavePage` downloads. Use isSavePageDownload instead.

Constant | Description
--- | ---
`WebEngineDownloadItem.Attachment` | The web server's response includes a `Content-Disposition` header with the `attachment` directive. If `Content-Disposition` is present in the reply, the web server is indicating that the client should prompt the user to save the content regardless of the content type. See RFC 2616 section 19.5.1 for details.
`WebEngineDownloadItem.DownloadAttribute` | The user clicked a link with the `download` attribute.
`WebEngineDownloadItem.UserRequested` | The user initiated the download, for example by selecting a web action.
`WebEngineDownloadItem.SavePage` | Saving of the current page was requested (for example by the WebEngineView.SavePage web action).

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.4.
