 I tried various options... nothing seems to work. If a browser like lynx and
 wget can go through and get the ".listing" file, I wonder why "tla" cannot do
 that. Unfortunately, I am not experienced in web/internet domain, I would
 have fixed this myself. I have been waiting for this feature from quite some
 time (close to 2 years) and still the same results. I give up and wait for
 some kind soul to implement this! A simple solution would be to allow the
 usage of wget in tla. Anyway, tla uses quite a few external
 applications. IMO, Adding one more to the list would not be too bad.

with best regards,
dhruva
