How can I disable image loading in Awesomium?

Question

How can I disable image loading in the browser Awesomium in offscreen rendering mode?

Answer 1

Also you can use ResourceInterceptor. Advantage: it can be switched without recreating WebSession + WebControl/WebView.

public class ResourceInterceptor : IResourceInterceptor
{
    public bool NoImages { get; set; }

    private static string[] _imagesFileTypes = { ".png", ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".gif", ".bmp" };

    public ResourceResponse OnRequest(ResourceRequest request)
    {
        string ext = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(request.Url.ToString()).ToLower();

        if (NoImages && _imagesFileTypes.Contains(ext))
        {
            request.Cancel();
        }

        return null;
    }

    public bool OnFilterNavigation(NavigationRequest request)
    {
        return false;
    }
}


...

ResourceInterceptor ResInt = new ResourceInterceptor();
WebCore.ResourceInterceptor = ResInt;

You can switch off loading of images when you create a WebSession:

WebView.WebSession = WebCore.CreateWebSession(new WebPreferences(){LoadImagesAutomatically = false});
