i was trying to reverse engineer a website (“http://www.asklaila.com“) to find out how their yahoo UI AutoComplete Widget is working. Upon finding the view source of it, i saw it is refering to a file called “/autocomplete.do”, i wanted to know what does this autocomplete.do file mean and can i download and open it locally on my machine?
Hope my requisite is legitimate and ethical.
As explained by FileInfo.com, the .do extension represents a server side Java code file that runs on the server and outputs HTML to the response.
Therefore, you cannot download it and view its contents. Any requests to the file will either return the same HTML or an HTTP error if it requires parameters/form fields.
