You could use something like SNARE

opens/reads for the web server account user.

I have run this previously to help identify files needed for
chrooting.

I'd take quite a different approach. At runtim, attach to the
web process at a low level (kernel?), e.g. strace, and log
access to files. Then use a crawler to enumerate (to the
extent possible) all flows through the app. This should give
you the list of files accessed by the web server process
(there are many detailed to be ironed out, such as server
caching, spawning new proceses, etc. but I believe it's doable).

In the above example, once you make a hit on the page.asp,
strace would first show the web process to read page.asp, and
immediately thereafter page1.html.
