Re: Directory to URL?

[Yennie]

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?

HTH

I've been trying the following without success:

� set the directory to url "http://www.myserver.com/test/"
� set the directory to url "ftp://ftp.myserver.com/test/"
� set the directory to url "ftp://uname:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/test/"

Result = "Can't open directory."

Am I missing the obvious?
