             Summary: Remove HTTP file listing with JSoup
                 Key: WAGON-618
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAGON-618
             Project: Maven Wagon
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: wagon-http
            Reporter: Michael Osipov
            Assignee: Michael Osipov
             Fix For: 3.5.0


This feature has several issues:
* HTTP does not provide any file listing because HTTP operates on resources 
only. There is no notion of directories. FS-semantics is available with WebDAV 
only. Generated listings are the result of {{mod_dir}} and friends.
* If a listing is used you *cannot* assume any specific format, this being 
brittle, unreliable and incorrect at worst.
* Annoying reports like MNG-7227 and WAGON-612
* We cannot comply with the license correctly WAGON-574

For all of those reasons this approach gives a little benifit adding something 
which does not have any semantics at all.
