Need help _ How to see the cache of a password protected area? - GoFuckYourself.com

selena · 05-31-2012, 11:00 AM

I am trying to find out how to see if there is a google cache of a password protected area of a website.

My son is studying abroad and signed up for a day trip through the program. While the longer trips had a line in the description about the trips not being refundable, the day trips did not.

He's since changed his mind, doesn't want to take the trip, and asked about a refund. They said he couldn't have one, and when asked where on the site it stated that, they changed the page.

I use the javascript:alert(document.lastModified) method to tell when they changed it, but I don't know how to see a cache to show what they changed, since it is behind a pass protected area.

Any ideas?

Unlikely. Password would usually keep Google out too.

Google last cache of a page is at:

Code:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:<your url without http>

what browser do you use, the page might be in the cache of your browser.

My guess is that he uses FF or Chrome. I didn't see the page before they made the change, but he did.

If he paid via credit card, I would just charge it back. Screw em.

It was a Paypal transaction, though I don't know if it was done with a credit card via PP, or straight through PP. But I know he's trying to get his ducks in a row before doing the dispute.
