<h3>Description</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Gets a file from a URL. When the verbose option is "on", this task
|
2002-01-02 05:16:04 +00:00
|
|
|
displays a '.' for every 100 Kb retrieved. Any URL schema supported by
|
2002-01-07 05:54:57 +00:00
|
|
|
the runtime is valid here, including http:, ftp: and jar:;
|
2002-01-02 05:16:04 +00:00
|
|
|
https: is only valid if the appropriate support is added to the pre-1.4 Java
|
|
|
|
|
runtimes.

The <i>usetimestamp</i> option enables you to control downloads so that the remote file is
|
|
|
|
|
only fetched if newer than the local copy. If there is no local copy, the download always takes
|
|
|
|
|
place. When a file is downloaded, the timestamp of the downloaded file is set to the remote timestamp,
|
|
|
|
|
if the JVM is Java1.2 or later.
|
|
|
|
|
NB: This timestamp facility only works on downloads using the HTTP protocol.

|
A username and password can be specified, in which case basic 'slightly encoded
|
|
|
|
|
plain text' authentication is used. This is only a secure authentication
|
|
|
|
|
mechanism over an HTTPS link.

If you need to go through a firewall, use
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="../OptionalTasks/setproxy.html"><setproxy></a>
|
|
|
|
|
to set up the proxy first.

Fetches some file from a server with access control. Because https is being used the
|

|
fact that basic auth sends passwords in plaintext is moot.
