I've read more documentation and searched through past mailing lists
than I ever cared to do trying to find answers on this one.....
I would simply like to be able to have direct access to a movie file
when played in a webview. I would like to be able to save this file,
but i can't figure out how to access it.
I have tried grabbing the data from the the webFrame (I'm using a
WebView from WebKit), but I only ever get a few kilobytes worth of
data. I have tried web archives and a few other different ways of
accessing the data. I can get a valid HTML document saved, but that
doesn't give me the video that I'm trying to access.
Since none of that worked I thought the problem must lie in either
the WebKit or QuickTime caches. My application's cache has "cached"
instances of all the URLRequests, but those are only about 4kb in
size, not a real movie file. (I determined this by changing the
directory in the sample application "/Developer/Examples/WebKit/
DiskCacheInspector" and viewing the cache objects that way).
Safari's cache didn't hold any relevant information, so I assumed the
data was being cached by the QuickTime plugin and stored in that
cache. This seems to be the case as the "~/Library/Caches/QuickTime/
downloads/" directory is much larger in size than my other caches,
which are a usually less than 1mb total.
I read up on NSCachedURLResponse, NSURLCache, etc, but I'm not sure
if that really applies to the ".qtch" files that are in this cache
folder. I'm not able to access them. Ideally I would like to be
able to look in the webkit maintained history and if the URL is in
that list, search for the corresponding cached object in QT's cache,
being able to retrieve data from that object and save for later if
needed.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Matt
