[Interest] qtwebview with qtwebchannel

> if anybody could tell me it is working

I have an example working with Qt 5.11.1 on Mac OS and Android.
Unfortunately, I cannot check if it works on iOS - that’s why I was guessing.

Not an expert myself, but it is a bit more safe if you'll bind to localhost/127.0.0.1 and not to 0.0.0.0 :)

In general, here’re some articles on the subject:
- https://gist.github.com/subudeepak/9897212#websockets---security-overview
- https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/161957/do-websockets-represent-a-security-problem-to-my-local-machine

So it looks like it is indeed a potential vulnerability.

You referred to your previous e-mail, but I haven’t seen it, sorry.
