IMHO it would be easier to switch to downloading a ZIP file of the module than it would to add the infrastructure required to generate a custom listing of file names.<br>
I encountered the issues you point out (and agree with you) & gave up. If/when the CrossWire httpd server changes (& the HTML output changes), the installmgr code will break :)<br>
<br>
My vote, long ago, was to switch to downloading ZIP files instead of each individual module file, but no one has implemented that yet (would you mind looking, Jaak? My c++ skills are very rusty, as you have seen!) :)<br>

Since it is so easy for a user to end up downloading the zip packages from the server, it would be nice if applications could just pass the file to the engine and have it unzip and install the module. I believe there is a front-end that has implemented this (BPBible, maybe?) but it has never made it back into the engine.</div>
