Your stat() implementation looks fine, but if you want to see entries in a directory
listing, you need to implement listDir().

stat() is mostly used to know if a given URL is a file or a directory (not obvious
from the URL, e.g. http://www.kde.org/ is a file ;), and also to know its size,
mimetype, etc. But that's all for a single URL.
To list a directory, implement listDir().
