Everyone--
I am attempting to provide the user a list of files found in a particular
directory (URL) in an applet.  When working in the IDE, I was using the File
object, which has the list() method.. but I'm assuming that this method is
reading the client machine's file system so browsers would nix it.  What's
the comparable method in URL-ese?  I'm assuming a URL object would be
involved, but the getContent() method doesn't seem to be the answer.
Thanks in advance for the help!
