[Qtwebengine] Modifying request Headers for QML's WebEngineView

[Neil Williams]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the response.

I am aware of those classes but as far as I know QML's WebEngineView does
not provide any way to get the underlying QWebEngine (if there is one at
all?) which means we would still be looking at mixing the native QWebEngine
with QQuickWidgets which is what we are trying to move away from.

Cheers.
