Without contacting the owner and asking them for the php file, the only way to get it would either be a misconfigured web server or you're running afoul of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), which you don't want to be on the wrong side of.

So, you should contact whoever you need to contact to get the right URL instead of trying to poke around yourself.

How do I get a PHP File?  I'm guessing its not possible, but I'm hoping its possible -- just not accessible to the normal user ... seeking some power user advice.

I have an account at:  https://www.vandyke.com/cgi-bin/account_login.php

I am a licensed user of their product "SecureCRT" ... really excellent, you should give it a try.

Anyway, after updating my login information, when I tried to login I got an error message that just said "Bad PID".  I then realized that I had updated my login URL in LastPass, removing all the "junk" from the end of the login_page.php URL ... incorrectly thinking it wasn't required and just an artifact from when I signed up.  I was wrong.

I can probably easily fix this by just going in through the front of site and generating a new URL or whatever -- but the nerd inside me wouldn't let it be that easy .... how do I get a list of valid PID's from the "account_login.php?pid= " page?

I tried the Developer Console from within Chrome -- but either that didn't work, or I don't know how to use it properly -- hoping it's the latter.

Anyhoo -- apprecaite the help or insight on this.  Thanks!
