HTTP does not provide a command for this.
you need to acquire a shell account on the specific server you're
interested in. generally, this requires emailing the addresses in the
whois database, explaining why you need a shell account. generally,
they will deny your request.
then you can say `ssh YOURNAME at SERVER ls DIRECTORY`.
a few directories on a few servers are configured such that they list
themselves when queried. iirc, there's a google trick to let you find
these directories.
