We've decided that the raw ftp directory listings should get converted to http-index format. We've already generated that for file: directory listings, and Chris Waterson has hooked up the front-end tree control to display them. We need to get the DTD-based parser hooked up as a stream converter for this.

It turns out I'll be doing the raw ftp dir listing -> http-index parsing down in the ftp protocol by hand.
Why by hand? I thought the DTD stuff was the way to go due to the vagaries of all the different ways we might get listings.
I think rickg was swamped by other pressing issues before he had a chance to push this stuff (raw ftp -> http-index). I'm not saying I'd like to do it by hand. I'd certainly prefer to use a stream converter (which gessner and I last talked about the parser acting as in this case) to do the conversion, but I'm not sure where gessner stands on this. Rick?
We'll still make it a stream converter, right? It's just a question of whether to use DTDs or not. Rick: If you're not going to be able to get to this, please reassign to Jud. Thanks.
sure. I'll wrap it w/ the stream conv api.
