Queries the html source from the web viewer.
This is the original downloaded source. If you want the source of what is visible, please use WebView.GetHTMLText function.
Text is considered either being valid UTF-8 or ISO Latin1 text encoded.

Note for Windows: For Windows this function is only supported in FileMaker Pro when using Internet Explorer as engine behind the Web Viewer, but not when Microsoft Edge/Chrome engine is used. But the functions should still work if with Web Viewers created via plugin using WebView.Create and WebView.CreateWithControl as those still use Internet Explorer.
