Is there a way to download a cgi file from someone elses server?

like if i ran status.cgi off a webserver at http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/status.cgi

is there a way I can just download that file to take a look at the source code? Cuz everytime I run that URL, the server parses it, which is normal, but I want it locally on my machine?

Software to do this maybe?

Nope, not if the server is configured correctly.

One of the advantages to using server side scripting (vs. JScript) is that your code is protected.


There are many sites that offer cgi scripts for download - try google. I'd recommend PHP over cgi (perl and php have nearly identical syntax) as you can find a lot more resources on the web. cgi is on it's way out.
