Hi Anonymous Monk,

You're best bet is to contact the webmaster of the website you are looking at. If you could some how get the contents of the cgi-bin folder, you are most likely doing so illegally (depends on which country you're in). If it is a U.S. server, it doesn't matter which country you live in..

My advice to you: don't try to get the contents of cgi-bin or any part of the website without permission. It's simply not worth the risk of fines or jail time.
