How to download a pdf file from a secure site (read only)?

Question

Computer networks

I just can’t get this book Early Athens: Settlements and Cemeteries in the Submycenaean, Geometric, and Archaic Periods (about 700 pages)
https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6ks6100g
If it’s not so difficult, tell me how to do it yourself to do (there is still a lot of literature I need!)
Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Yes, just open the developer tools (F12), the network tab and see where it is loaded from. For example, a PDF is loaded from the link
https://escholarship.org/content/qt6ks6100g/qt6ks6...
I see that the question is interesting, since two people have already contacted me during the year.
For sites that load and display an almost normal PDF, but don't let you download, the magic command
window.PDFViewerApplication.download()
from the developer console (F12) works. In some cases, the document is password-protected - there you will have to intercept it in the debugger.

Answer 2

Look in the script or in the page code for a link to the book. It is not loaded from nowhere, there must be a link to it either in the body or in js, which breaks the page.
