为发出的HTTP请求在不同阶段添加事件监听器。事件监听器可以接收到请求的详细信息,也可以修改或取消请求。

概况

每个事件都会在请求的特定阶段触发。事件的顺序大概是这样的:

在请求过程中的任意时间,{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.onErrorOccurred", "onErrorOccurred")}} 可以被触发。虽然有时候触发的事件顺序不同,举个例子,在火狐浏览器中的HSTS过程,在onBeforeRequest事件执行后,onBeforeRedirect 事件会被立即触发。

所有的事件,接受onErrorOccurred事件, addListener()有三个参数 :

这个监听函数接收一个details对象,这个对象包含这个请求的信息。他包含一个请求ID, 在插件中这个ID可以关联唯一个请求事件. 这个ID是浏览器会话和插件上下文中唯一的。他始终在同一个请求中,贯穿着转发和授权等事件中。

在一个给定的主机上使用webRequest API, 你必须有这个主机的相关权限,包括"webRequest" API permission 和 host permission. 为了使用 "blocking" 特性,你必须有 "webRequestBlocking" API 权限。

这个webRequest API不能让你进入一些安全敏感的请求,比如update checks and OCSP checks.

Modifying requests

在下边这些事件中,你可以修改请求. 比如一些特别的操作:

为了完成这些操作,你需要在extraInfoSpec参数中添加"blocking"的值到事件的addListener()。这将使得监听器变成同步执行。在监听器中,你可以返回一个表明需要作修改的{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.BlockingResponse", "BlockingResponse")}}对象:比如说,你想要发送的修改后的请求头。

从Firefox 52开始,监听器会返回一个resolve(BlockingResponse) 的 Promise,而不是直接返回一个BlockingResponse。这使得监听器可以异步地处理请求。

Types

{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.ResourceType")}}
Represents a particular kind of resource fetched in a web request.
{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.RequestFilter")}}
An object describing filters to apply to webRequest events.
{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.HttpHeaders")}}
An array of HTTP headers. Each header is represented as an object with two properties: name and either value or binaryValue.
{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.BlockingResponse")}}

An object of this type is returned by event listeners that have set "blocking" in their extraInfoSpec argument. By setting particular properties in BlockingResponse, the listener can modify network requests.

{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.UploadData")}}
Contains data uploaded in a URL request.

Properties

{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.MAX_HANDLER_BEHAVIOR_CHANGED_CALLS_PER_10_MINUTES")}}
The maximum number of times that handlerBehaviorChanged() can be called in a 10 minute period.

Functions

{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.handlerBehaviorChanged()")}}
This function can be used to ensure that event listeners are applied correctly when pages are in the browser's in-memory cache.

Events

{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.onBeforeRequest")}}
Fired when a request is about to be made, and before headers are available. This is a good place to listen if you want to cancel or redirect the request.
{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.onBeforeSendHeaders")}}
Fired before sending any HTTP data, but after HTTP headers are available. This is a good place to listen if you want to modify HTTP request headers.
{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.onSendHeaders")}}
Fired just before sending headers. If your add-on or some other add-on modified headers in {{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.onBeforeSendHeaders", "onBeforeSendHeaders")}}, you'll see the modified version here.
{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.onHeadersReceived")}}
Fired when the HTTP response headers associated with a request have been received. You can use this event to modify HTTP response headers.
{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.onAuthRequired")}}
Fired when the server asks the client to provide authentication credentials. The listener can do nothing, cancel the request, or supply authentication credentials.
{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.onResponseStarted")}}
Fired when the first byte of the response body is received. For HTTP requests, this means that the status line and response headers are available.
{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.onBeforeRedirect")}}
Fired when a server-initiated redirect is about to occur.
{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.onCompleted")}}
Fired when a request is completed.
{{WebExtAPIRef("webRequest.onErrorOccurred")}}
Fired when an error occurs.

Browser compatibility

Edge incompatibilities

Promises are not supported in Edge. Use callbacks instead.
