Retrieve contents of a public Dropbox folder?

Question

Is there a way to retrieve a list of the contents of a public Dropbox folder (preferably in PHP)? This is what a URL to a public file in Dropbox looks like:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1234567/publikPholder/textytext.txt

One would think that jumping up one level to the directory in the URL...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1234567/publikPholder/

...would show all the public files. Nope. Nothing but a 404.

Answer 1

Looks like this library is pretty complete (although I haven't used it myself), and is probably as simple as (post-auth):

$info = $dropbox->getMetaData('Public', true);
print_r($info['contents']);

Answer 2

UPDATE: I found a thread on the Dropbox forums where a user posts a link that claims to enable something pretty close to what I'm asking for. Guess what? It works! I don't know where it came from or where it's documented, but if it's helpful to anyone else, here it is (clicking this link will enable it and I don't know if it can be disabled. Proceed with caution):

https://www.dropbox.com/enable_shmodel

The resulting public folder looks like this:
