Remote Directory Listing

#1

So, I’m trying to figure out the best way to get a directory listing on a remote web server. So, as an example, say I have 3 images in a directory located here - http://www.test.com/images/. In that directory are 3 images - 0001.png, 0002.png, and 0003.png. It’s possible that I would add more images to the directory at a later date, so the number of images in the directory may fluctuate.

I’d like to get a listing of all of the files in that directory and load them up into a table. Then I can the use display.loadRemoteImage() to pull down the images and store them locally.

I don’t know why I’m struggling with this so much, but I just can’t get my head wrapped around how to query the contents of the directory. Any thoughts or better ways to do this? Thanks.
