<h2><a name="get">Get</a></h2>
|
|
<h3>Description</h3>
|
|
<p>Gets a file from a URL. When the verbose option is "on", this task
|
|
displays a '.' for every 100 Kb retrieved. Any URL schema supported by
|
|
the runtime is valid here, including http:, ftp: and jar:;
|
|
https: is only valid if the appropriate support is added to the pre-1.4 Java
|
|
runtimes.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
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.
|
|
<p>
|
|
A username and password can be specified, in which case basic 'slightly encoded
|
|
plain text' authentication is used. This is only secure over an HTTPS link.
|
|

|
<b>Proxies</b>. Since Ant1.7, Ant running on Java1.5 or later defaults to
|
|
<a href="../proxy.html">using
|
|
the proxy settings of the operating system</a>. There is also the
|
|
<a href="../OptionalTasks/setproxy.html"><setproxy></a> task for
|
|
earlier Java versions. With proxies turned on, <code><get></code> requests against
|
|
localhost may not work as expected, if the request is relayed to the proxy.
|
|
The <code>-noproxy</code> option can be used to turn this feature off.

<h3>Examples</h3>
|
|
<pre> <get src="http://ant.apache.org/" dest="help/index.html"/></pre>
|
|
<p>Gets the index page of http://ant.apache.org/, and stores it in the file <code>help/index.html</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre> <get src="http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/KEYS"
|
|
dest="KEYS"
|
|
verbose="true"
|
|
usetimestamp="true"/></pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Gets the PGP keys of Ant's (current and past) release managers, if the local copy
|
|
is missing or out of date. Uses the verbose option
|
|
for progress information.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre> <get src="https://insecure-bank.org/statement/user=1214"
|
|
dest="statement.html"
|
|
username="1214";
|
|
password="secret"/></pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
