Description

I am exploring use of WebView2 for our application.

I have gone through WebView2 Concepts and managed to load a URL in our application.
When when a hyperlink is clicked, I'm not able to pass authentication request to the URI in new window (not self-hosted).

webview->add_NewWindowRequested( Callback<ICoreWebView2NewWindowRequestedEventHandler>( [](ICoreWebView2* sender, ICoreWebView2NewWindowRequestedEventArgs* args) { wil::com_ptr deferral; args->GetDeferral(&deferral); deferral->Complete(); return S_OK; }).Get(), nullptr);

The above code launches a popup window and loads the page. But it shows credential popup on top of it.

I have tried using add_WebResourceRequested() after considering the workaround in Unable to get callbacks via add_WebResourceRequested for WebView2 created via add_NewWindowRequested. But I am not getting callback for the newly requested URI (mostly because webView instance is still pointing to base URI).

The environment is created as

LPCWSTR profileDir = L".web_view_profile";
CreateDirectory(profileDir, NULL);

// Browser Setting
auto envOptions = Microsoft::WRL::Make<CoreWebView2EnvironmentOptions>();
envOptions->put_AdditionalBrowserArguments(L"--ignore-certificate-errors --ignore-urlfetcher-cert-requests --pull-to-refresh=false");
envOptions->put_AllowSingleSignOnUsingOSPrimaryAccount(false);
envOptions->put_ExclusiveUserDataFolderAccess(false);

CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentWithOptions(nullptr, profileDir, envOptions.Get(),
	Callback<ICoreWebView2CreateCoreWebView2EnvironmentCompletedHandler>(
		[token](HRESULT result, ICoreWebView2Environment* env) -> HRESULT {
			ICoreWebView2WebResourceRequest* request = nullptr;
			reinterpret_cast<ICoreWebView2Environment12*>(env)->CreateWebResourceRequest(url, L"GET", NULL, NULL, &request);
			wil::com_ptr<ICoreWebView2HttpRequestHeaders> headers;
			request->get_Headers(&headers);
			headers->SetHeader(L"Authorization", token);
		}

		// Creating Controller with parent hWnd
Please let me know how I can avoid showing the credential popup window again and again for the URI loaded in new window.

Version of WebView2: 1.0.1823.32
