The only way the data can truncated is if there are embedded null characters
in the data.  TStrings::LoadFromFile() calls TStrings::LoadFromStream(),
which calls TStrings::SetTextStr().  SetTextStr() treats the input data as a
null-terminated string, regardless of its actual length.  If there is an
null character in the data, the data will be truncated.

It is not an AnsiString problem.  It is a TStrings problem.
TStrings::LoadFromFile() creates an AnsiString containing the full data from
the file, but TStrings::SetTextStr() does not fully parse the AnsiString
properly.

The answer to your truncating problem is simple - don't use TStringList to
load the data.  Use a TFileStream or TMemoryStream to load the file data
directly into your AnsiString, ie:

    #include <memory>

    AnsiString Source;
    std::auto_ptr<TFileStream> Stream(new TFileStream("your file.htm",
fmOpenRead | fmShareDenyWrite));
    Source.SetLength(Stream->Size);
    if( Soure.Length() > 0 )
        Stream->Read(Source.data(), Soure.Length());

A better solution would be to not read the browser data into a file at all,
but into your AnsiString dirctly.  You already have the code to do that.
