I'd like such a feature too ;-) Granted, it wouldn't work all the time, and might require different parsing code for different Web Servers (supporting Apache, IIS, Tomcat, Jetty, and maybe others), but it would be very useful. Could be disabled by default, and only enabled if explicitly requested, with clearly documented caveats. --DD

Is there any reason that you couldn't parse the html returned by the web server and build a directory entry (from the anchors)? If this could be done, it would be a nice feature for those (ie. me) who don't want to install a webdav server :) If you're simply trying to navigate a read-only resource, there is no reason for webdav. Thanks for the ftp fix! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Murdoch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jakarta Commons Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 7:09 AM Subject: Re: [VFS] "Could not list the contents of..." > Listing files for ftp should be fixed now. > > Listing files for http is not supported, because there's nothing in the > protocol that allows it (of course, the error message could be a little > better than 'it's not a folder').
