You don't want an index.html, but "curl -l" does exactly that, only less formatted - but you don't parse it, you just want to compare it with a previous version. Or not?
Anyway, HTTP is not FTP, and not you, not me, not gambas can do something about that. Please note that asking an ftp server to generate a listing is not a guarantee - every server can do whatever it want with its listing, just like an http server. The listing can come out sorted, not sorted, with or without added comments (550 - xxxx) and so on. The listing often seems "normal" because unix tends to simply launch a /bin/ls, but this can not be held always for true. At least HTTP *has* a way to know if something has been changed since a date, while ftp does not. So there are still only two possibilities - 1) ask for modifications, or 2) determine them by yourself.
