   Possibly possible, but not likely.  Most HTTP servers can be
configured to do almost anything, but the usual thing is probably to
return an "index.htm[l]" file, if there is one, and, perhaps, an
HTML-formatted directory listing if there is no such default file.

   With FTP, there is a command to request a file list.  With HTTP,
there is no such command -- you get what the server wants you to see.

   In fact, most HTTP servers can be configured to disguise the actual
directory structure, so what looks like a directory in the URL may or
may not be a real directory on the server.

   So, in general, no.
