As I remember it is for handling case when you have links which point
subfolders, for example:
../
folder1/subfolder1
folder2
in this case "folder1/subfolder1" will be trimmed to folder1, as we don't want
to include "subfolder1" it as child of current directory (is actually child of
folder1 and should be returned as child of folder1 instead of current folder)

> I think this was lodged at some time ago as VFS-79:
> http://www.mail-archive.com/commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg83701.html.
> Essentially the ability to browse http via the directory listing structure is
> reasonably important for a number of use cases.
> Mario noted in that previous bug that the parsing of the html isn't
> necessarily trivial but I've submitted a patch that meets my requirements.
> The patch uses java regular expressions which has the requirement of JVM >
> 1.4. Submitting in the hope that other users will find it useful and maybe
> we'll be able to tidy it to the point where it can be integrated into the vfs
> mainline.
