Damn.. If you talked about it before , I wouldnt have to implement a 
html parser for the indexes , which is what I've done... :'(
Guess I'll simply dump it then , because parsing the header.info file 
looks like a easier way to do it. (I had to implement three parsers: one 
for http indexes , other for ftp indexes and one for the redhat http index)
I'll try to finish the test code tonight (as things got simpler now) and 
I post when I have a prototype.
