Glenn Auld commented on VFS-199:
--------------------------------
Hi again,
A follow up on my previous entry.
I managed to repackage the patched code back into the vf2-2.0.jar and ran some
tests.
I'm connecting to an HTTPS URL and can resolve the URL such as https://site/
without an issue, although there are no children showing up.
I actually want to resolve to https://site/folder/subfolder and list the files
there.
Unfortunately I am getting a FileSystemException from the doGetType method.
It seems the 'status' being returned is not one of HTTP_OK, HTTP_NOT_FOUND or
HTTP_GONE.
So I logged onto the site via browser and had a closer look.
Once logged in, the site takes the browser to a page that *retains* the site
URL (so without folders) and lists the files in a *separate frame* to the main
page.
Note that I can still download a file if I resolve it *directly* (but I don't
want to do this).
e.g. https://site/folder/subfolder/filename
But if I try to use the doListChildren() call, at the subfolder level I get the
exception.
Note that I *also* get the same exception (Head method failed) when attempting
to use findFiles().
So it would seem there is a fundamental problem with trying to resolve specific
paths on this site.
If anyone has any suggestions, it must just help as there isn't a great deal of
info around on this.

> Project: Commons VFS
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Reporter: Andrew Franklin
> Attachments: HttpGetList.txt, VFS-199.patch, VFS-199_updated.patch

>
> I think this was lodged at some time ago as VFS-79:
> http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/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.
