        Deprecated. only gets the first configured resource
        make a get request, with the supplied progress and logging info. All the other config parameters are set at the task level, source, dest, ignoreErrors, etc.
        Parameters:
        logLevel - level to log at, see Project.log(String, int)
        progress - progress callback; null for no-callbacks
        Returns:
        true for a successful download, false otherwise. The return value is only relevant when ignoreErrors is true, as when false all failures raise BuildExceptions.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - for network trouble
        BuildException - for argument errors, or other trouble when ignoreErrors is false.

        public void setVerbose(boolean v)

      • setIgnoreErrors

        public void setIgnoreErrors(boolean v)
        If true, log errors but do not treat as fatal.
        Parameters:
        v - if "true" then don't report download errors up to ant

      • setUseTimestamp

        public void setUseTimestamp(boolean v)
        If true, conditionally download a file based on the timestamp of the local copy.

        In this situation, the if-modified-since header is set so that the file is only fetched if it is newer than the local file (or there is no local file) This flag is only valid on HTTP connections, it is ignored in other cases. When the flag is set, the local copy of the downloaded file will also have its timestamp set to the remote file time.

        Note that remote files of date 1/1/1970 (GMT) are treated as 'no timestamp', and web servers often serve files with a timestamp in the future by replacing their timestamp with that of the current time. Also, inter-computer clock differences can cause no end of grief.

        Parameters:
        v - "true" to enable file time fetching

      • setUsername

        public void setUsername(java.lang.String u)

      • setRetries

        public void setRetries(int r)
        The number of attempts to make for opening the URI, defaults to 3.

        The name of the method is misleading as a value of 1 means "don't retry on error" and a value of 0 meant don't even try to reach the URI at all.

        Parameters:
        r - number of attempts to make
