Swift 4/5 setting adding proxy to WKWebview

Question

I have looking for a way to set a proxy to WKWebview request with no luck.

By another hand I have been able to set proxy to http request

func createURLSessionConfiguration(_ host:String,_  port:String) -> URLSessionConfiguration {

    let config = URLSessionConfiguration.default
    config.requestCachePolicy = URLRequest.CachePolicy.reloadIgnoringLocalCacheData
    config.connectionProxyDictionary = [AnyHashable: Any]()
    config.connectionProxyDictionary?[kCFNetworkProxiesHTTPEnable as String] = 1
    config.connectionProxyDictionary?[kCFNetworkProxiesHTTPSProxy as String] = host
    config.connectionProxyDictionary?[kCFNetworkProxiesHTTPSPort as String] = port

    return config
}

But my question to you guys is how can set the proxy to the WKWebView?

I'll really appreciate your help

Answer 1

HTTP proxying is not possible with WKWebView -- the NSURLProtocol registering trick doesn't work when using WKWebView (it works only with UIWebView).

A similar trick might have been possible using WKURLSchemeHandler, but it doesn't allow registering schemes that are natively handled by WKWebView, so it isn't really possible.
