 A simple library for reading http directories.
@@ -13,6 +13,9 @@
 The library is intended for listing the files in http file directories,
 but since http directories are just html pages it can also be used
 to list the links (href's) on any html webpage.
+
+Additionally there are methods for checking the size and modification time,
+and a few other helper functions.
