As I said, the web server generates a human readable document rather
than a machine readable index. We could fix this once and for all by
generating index.html at the same time as pkg_summary.bz2. It could be
a file that is trivial to parse that only contains lines like

    <a href="pkgin-25.5.1.tgz">pkgin-25.5.1.tgz</a></br>

No more problems trying to second guess how any particular web server
might generate the file listing.

Ngā mihi,
