Here are too many wishes in a single request.
First, they contents are not "presented" to apt. They are returned on
request, but there are many URLs that lead to the delivery of the same
file. Therefore, the only thing that makes sense is the view on the
ordinary directory structure.
Second, you can use any regular web server that supports directory
browsing to display the cache contents. Just create a symlink from cache
directory to something in /var/www, et voila.
The original source URLs and the download time can be found in the .head
files. I think it should be fairly easy to create a CGI script that
would embedd that information into the directory view but I have no
real motivation to write it. Contributions are welcome ;-).
Regards,
Eduard.
