This does not work with http.
It does work with ftp.
There's no chance it'll happen with http.

To expand any patterns (and giving a pkg name without a version is the
same as adding "-[0-9]*", also dependencies use patterns heavily), one
needs to expand that pattern somehow. In ftp:// this is rather easily done
by a simple "ls". In HTML, you'd have to parse the whole HTML-file
returned by the server.
