How to check a the filelist in a map at a URL?

You want to parse teh HTML and find all URL links and/or image URL's ?

HTML parsing sucks due to the "pragmatic interpretation" of the
HTML standards by most HTML writers.

If it is valid XHTML 1.0 it is easy to parse with an XML parser.

If it is "look OK in MSIE" HTML, then it will be hard work
to write a good parser.

No, I actually hope that I could make a:

File dir = new File("http://www.google.com/logos/");
String[] files = dir.list();

But it doesn't seems to work.

I don't think you can get a directory listing on a remote server. Perhaps if you have explicit rights to read the folder contents, but I can't see how it could be done.

No.

You will need to get the HTML (similar to your last question)
and parse it for links.

Ok, I see!

Give me answers so I can give away the points!

Thanks!

i don't want any points. at least not 25. I didn't really help you in any way...

I am not sure how much my answer is worth either.

But anyway.

As a side note: you can list files for an FTP URL.

For me it was a good help!

If you load the contents you have read into a JEditorPane you can easily walk through all tags of a specific type, say, <a>. Here is a snippet of code I use in a simple browser to find all hyperlinks.
        JEditorPane pane = ...;
    Document document = pane.getDocument();
    if ( document instanceof HTMLDocument ) {
        HTMLDocument htmldoc = (HTMLDocument)document;
        HTMLDocument.Iterator iterator = htmldoc.getIterator( HTML.Tag.A );
        iterator.next();
        while ( iterator.isValid() ) {
        AttributeSet attr = iterator.getAttributes();
        boolean found = false;
        Enumeration enum = attr.getAttributeNames();
        while ( enum.hasMoreElements() && ! found ) {
            Object name = enum.nextElement();
            if ( name.equals( HTML.Attribute.HREF ) ) {
            found = true;
            Object value = attr.getAttribute( name );
            boolean problem = false;
            URL url = null;
            try {
                url = new URL( (String)value );
            } // try
            catch ( MalformedURLException murle ) {
                problem = true;
            } // catch
            if ( ! problem ) {
                JButton button = new UpDownJButton( (String)value );
                menu.add( button );
                button.addActionListener( buttonListener );
            } // if
            } // if
        } // while
        iterator.next();
        } // while
    } // if
