Unless your version of 'wget' has the special gift of reading the
server admins mind i don't see how this is possible. It shure can
*filter* the list of resources to download (by all sorts of fancy
URL regexping and/or content type filtering), but for doing so the
program needs to start with a given URL. There's really *no* way 
to get a listing of resources contained within a webservers collection.
