It seems that I have to download and build WebCore to get to this object.
Would it still run on 10.2 + Safari?

Also, let me say that I'm not downloading html it's more like a crude
web-service, and, without looking inside the header file, it looks like
decodeData might just try to use the html meta encoding tag?

Primarilly I would like to use the server response and do 'something safe'
if that response is not usable.
