No, HTTP does not work that way.

I know that but it should be possible to do something like that in bash using curl or wget. Isn't it.

Code:
linux-gkgc:~ # wget -O - http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.10

That webpage is handily configured to give you exactly what you want, a list of files.

Most aren't, and can't be forced to do so by you.

If all you want to do is extract certain links from that particular page, that's certainly possible. Show us exactly what you want please.

I would like to found a specific file ( MozillaFirefox-19.0.2-1.4.1.x86_64.rpm ) on a specific url ( download . opensuse . org/update/12.3/x86_64 ) to be able to download it.

Code:
ls   / / download . opensuse . org/update/*  MozillaFirefox-19.*x86_64.rpm

Which should return if that file exist somewhere

//download.opensuse.org/update/12.3/x86_64/MozillaFirefox-19.0.2-1.4.1.x86_64.rpm

google return :

Index of /update/11.4/rpm/x86_64

or

http://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&...45645796,d.d2k

Which is not what I need.
