  \class QWebHistoryInterface
  \since 4.4
  \brief The QWebHistoryInterface class provides an interface to implement link history.

  \inmodule QtWebKit

  The QWebHistoryInterface is an interface that can be used to
  keep track of visited links. It contains two pure virtual methods that
  are called by the WebKit engine: addHistoryEntry() is used to add
  urls that have been visited to the interface, while
  historyContains() is used to query whether the given url has been
  visited by the user. By default the QWebHistoryInterface is not set, so WebKit does not keep
  track of visited links.

  \note The history tracked by QWebHistoryInterface is not specific to an instance of QWebPage
  but applies to all pages.
