Of course, the "*" cannot be expanded, in general. If you get the url
http://www.vrindavandarshan.com/yr2007/jan07/
Apache builds a directory listing for you. You can extract the file names
from there using a text editor or sed (a non interactive text editor).

See curl's options "-O" and "-o fname".
