Directory to URL?

[Yennie at aol.com]

The best you can do is to try and grab the URL's directory by itself:

put url "http://www.myserver.com/test/" into fileList

The problem is that different web servers (or FTP servers) may return 
different formats. Some web servers won't give a directory listing at all (or will 
send back the contents of "index.html" or some other default page).

If you really need to get a list of the files reliably, I believe you would 
need to send specific FTP commands to a FTP site. There is no reliable way over 
HTTP unless you have control of the server side, AFAIK.

Perhaps there is something you can glean from the FTP libs?
