Though if you're just looking for browsers that have a lot of
scriptability, rather than a strict DOM structure, then I think iCab
(www.iCab.de) is pretty good. It does include "Getsource" :
GetSource: Get the html source of a browser window
GetSource integer -- The index of the window
Result: string


Without being completely sure what you want, I think iCab can do a lot. I
use it for quite a bit of scripting work; and it has the neat ability to
save pages as text rather than HTML as Safari does. (Though it can do "as
HTML" and "as Web archive" too.)
