Raw/source html webpage

[Flash Gordon]

AIR can load a webpage using the HTMLLoader class which is a DisplayObject (or the HTML component of Flex). But is there a way to get the raw html source of the webpage that was loaded? I've spent hours now looking for how to get the page source. Any help?

well....this gives me an interpreted HTML source...but I want the raw source.

var dom:Object = _htmlLoader.window.document;
var source:String = dom.documentElement.outerHTML;

the only way i kno of is to load the page again using a URLLoader. I kno that isnt near perfect but it works. i like the innerHTML/outerHTML way better

[Flash Gordon]

what do you mean load the page AGAIN? can you give a code sample?

My guess is that use HTMLLoader to load and display it on the stage, and use URLLoader with the same URL to get the raw source code??

yup. CB knows what im talkin about.

i don't understand. Can i see an example?

thanks guys :)

view_source_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, viewSource);
function viewSource(evt:MouseEvent){
var url:String = htmlLoader.location;
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(urlReq);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
loader.load(urlReq);
}
function loadComplete(evt:Event){
trace(evt.target.data);

}

gotcha ;)

So I guess there is no "secret" property of HTMLLoader has has a URLLoader object that I can directly access. I guess that works.

Cheers :)
