Terminal – ls-like command for http directories?

Is this possible?
Okay, an example:
I have a script that downloads and installs unetbootin to my system. I
run the script like this:
./Install.sh 583
This downloads and ”installs” Unetbootin 5.83, which means it uses
wget to download the file, then moves the file to a proper place and
finally adds a link to it in ~/bin so I can run it by only typing:
unetbootin
Now, for this to work, I first need to find out what is the latest
version, for instance by looking it up in my web browser. Then I can
run my install script.
Of course it would be more convenient if the script could find the
latest version for me.
The latest version (today, 2013-05-25) is:
http://tenet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/unetbootin/UNetbootin/583/unetbootin-linux-583
So what I need is a command like:
some_ls-like_command
"http://tenet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/unetbootin/UNetbootin/"
Then I guess I would have a loop that determines the highest value
somehow, but I guess I will figure that part out.
That directory currently looks like this:
