For what ever reason can't get QWenEngineProfile to invoke downloadRequest when downloading a file with QWebEnginePage. The way I understand it is that when QWebEnginePage::download() is called the QWebEningeProfile::downloadRequested() signal is emitted but for some reason my code doesn't catch the signal.

mainwindow.ccp

Qt Code: 
  1. WebPageDownload *webPageDownload = new WebPageDownload(this);
  2. webPageDownload->download("https://www.nasdaq.com/screening/companies-by-industry.aspx?exchange=NASDAQ&render=download", "file.cvs");

Qt Code:

  2. page = new QWebEnginePage(parent);    
  3. connect(page->profile(), SIGNAL(downloadRequested(QWebEngineDownloadItem*)), this, SLOT(downloadRequested(QWebEngineDownloadItem*)));
  4. }
  5.  
  6. void WebPageDownload::download(const QUrl &url, const QString &filename){
  7. qDebug()<<"download called";
  8. //this should emit QWebEngineProfile::downloadRequested
  9. page->download(url, filename);
  10. }
  11.  
  12. void WebPageDownload::downloadRequested(QWebEngineDownloadItem* download) {
  13. qDebug()<<"Download request invoked";
  14. }
