Hello,

As far as I know, there is no directly way to get the HTML source of WebView control. But the WebView can inject the script and get the result.

Therefore, we can inject script in WsbView loadCompleted event.
Please follow this sample code
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/XAML-WebView-control-sample-58ad63f7

In scenarion1, SDKSample::WebViewControl::Scenario1::WebView1_LoadCompleted function.

Add these codes

Array<String^>^ strarr=ref new Array<String^>(1);
strarr[0]="document.documentElement.outerHTML;";
String^ html=WebView1->InvokeScript("eval",strarr);
 
Best regards,
Jesse

New in Windows 8.1: the Windows.Web.Http HttpClient API.  This is an easy-to-use, full-featured HTTP API that works in all languages: C++, .NET (C#, VB) and JavaScript.    Advantages of the new API include: strongly typed headers (meaning: you write fewer bugs in less time), full support for standard WinRT async concepts and data types.

HttpClient also lets you inject your modular filter code into the HTTP processing pipeline, letting you handle logging, testing, retry and auth more naturally.  Samples of filters include retry and metered network filters in the HttpClient sample, and OAUTH and OAUTH 2.0 support in the Web Authentication Broker sample.

(Note that the existing IXHR2 code is still available for developers, and your existing Windows 8 code should continue to work as expected)

There's a //build/ 2013 video for the new API at http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2013/4-092

We also have samples at http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/HttpClient-sample-55700664

There's an OAUTH 0 filter sample at http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Web-Authentication-d0485122

And there's documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.web.http.aspx
