I don't think the link in the previous post is quite what you want.
I think what you'll need to do is query the Dependency data. I've not done this exact thing before, but I think the main steps are:
- Get the objectId of the Crm form. You can get this with a query on the systemform entity, and the objectId will be the systemformid attribute
- Execute a RetrieveRequiredComponentsRequest to get the components required by the form. This should include the web resources used by the form

I'm trying to get it to work with RetrieveRequiredComponentsRequest but it is not as straight forward as I expected.

Thanks for you help but I could get it to work. I'm parsing the XML with link which may be not as clean but it works as well.
Thanks
