Is there a way to retrieve a list of the contents of a public Dropbox folder (preferably in PHP)? This is what a URL to a public file in Dropbox looks like:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1234567/publikPholder/textytext.txt

One would think that jumping up one level to the directory in the URL...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1234567/publikPholder/

...would show all the public files. Nope. Nothing but a 404.
