I think that this is only matter of implementing recursive copy in http slave.
The same way as it is done in file and ftp slave.

Kget supports copying of directories and because of this, it could be used also
for recursive copying of some http server, as soon as the above is implemented.

For recursive copying from ftp and http sites, there could be some options e.g.
for specifying the depth of copying.

Of course, this could be another option.
