Sure. My issue was: we don't know the encoding, which is needed to convert
to a QString. But well, KHTML probably knows it, somewhere and somehow.
I just don't know that part of the code well enough to know where.

I can't see how it would work with e.g. russian or chinese web pages. The source
is certainly not in UTF-8. Heck, most french pages aren't either :)

That version looks much safer encoding-wise, but you're right that the caller
of the method won't know what to do with it...
I guess "view document source" works because kate autodetects the encoding?
