#### Ancestors

- GObject

#### Constructors

###### webkit_network_session_new

Creates a new `WebKitNetworkSession` with a persistent `WebKitWebsiteDataManager`. The parameters `data_directory` and `cache_directory` will be used as construct properties of the `WebKitWebsiteDataManager` of the network session. Note that if `NULL` is passed, the default directory will be passed to `WebKitWebsiteDataManager` so that `webkit_website_data_manager_get_base_data_directory()` and `webkit_website_data_manager_get_base_cache_directory()` always return a value for non ephemeral sessions.
