Using urllib2, we can get the http response from a web server. If that server simply holds a list of files, we could parse through the files and download each individually. However, I'm not sure what the easiest, most pythonic way to parse through the files would be.
When you get a whole http response of the generic file server list, through urllib2's urlopen() method, how can we neatly download each file?
