By change, also this server provides a `ls-lrRt.txt.gz` file. Unfurtunaly is as a slightly different (date-) format than the one at kde.org: kde: drwxr-xr-x 3 ftpadmin packager 6 2000-10-01 14:07 adm gnu: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 2 2003 third-party Also by chance ftp.gnu.org also provides a file `find.txt.gz`, listing all files, including the full path: ./video/Stephen_Fry-Happy_Birthday_GNU-nq_600px_425kbit.ogv ./old-gnu/g77/g77-0.5.21.tar.gz ./old-gnu/guile ./old-gnu/guile/guile-www-1.0.1.tar.gz ./old-gnu/guile/guile-1.3.2.tar.gz > At worst, we’ll parse HTML index files like the one at > <https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile/>, This is what Ihis bug is about :-) Please mind the query-parameters one can pass to apache: <https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile/?F=0> is much more terse. -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goe...@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
