I was thinking to bunch up all possible URL results by scanning all
directory from low version to the high version.  But you have a point.
Scan from high version and pick page which has matching URL.

This makes sense and not as bad situation as I thought. 

Just push down all the directories.  Scan from the latest one.

Yes.  I meant HTTP site which looks like old FTP site in terms of its
directory and page structure.
