Aside from the questionable legality of what you're asking, keep in mind
that sites using database-backed form-based authentication (as opposed to
HTTP Basic Authentication) are often generated via assembly from includes or
CMSes or other applications, in which case trying to get the "underlying
files" is futile. They may not exist as discrete files on the server.

I have given you the information you need to do this. Simply save the files
locally as you crawl them.
