Web script for retrieving site files from successful request

I'm having some trouble in a simple programming problem, and after getting stuck, I have decided to ask for help.

Context of the problem: I have a test website like "https//https://ift.tt/3rAZmeK" that has a .pdf file in it. It is known to me that the id number is created linearly (there is a 9998, 9997 and so on), but not every id has a .pdf file.

The goal is to make a script that will get that url and decrease the id number by 1 each step and then show any instances that has a .pdf in it.

I had an idea on how to keep testing id over id, but I have not figured out how do I put together the "show/retrieve" the .pdf files from succesful instances.

My idea is just creating a variable 'id', that will be decreased then appended to "https//www.site.com/.../id=" in the iterations.

How can I download the .pdf files if they happen to exist? Can I label the donwload like id.pdf so I know which instance has it come from?

Sorry and thanks in advance.

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE".
