What makes you think that? Lots of bad apps can be written in Perl or even

Python.

Inspecting the actual page source can give you some good clues.

There's a lot of ways to do that, and to undo it, too. If it appears on a

page, it can be copied. Once again, viewing the source can tell you a lot.

However, sometimes it's cheaper to pay someone to type it back in than to

automate it. Paying someone to screen-shot every page and type it into a

new system (via Mechanical Turk, for example) can be very inexpensive. An

alternative to consider, if all else fails.

There is no way to access the data through a browser. The data is in SQL

Server but the application hides their methods.

Your client may be over a barrel. It's worth reviewing his contract with

this site, and getting a lawyer to review. You don't want to go blasting

over their site with a bot if that gives them the right to cancel your

access.
