Actually I have implemented if and switch scenerios by using ant-contrib 
project. However I could not use their loop structure for my purpose. scriptdef 
seems a good option. I will try it.
Thank you very much. I am open to any other suggestions also. Apreciated.

The ant-contrib project is providing conditional tasks which may help, but
if you want to have your own syntax and the very specific url availability
as a condition (like you wrote), maybe using a script (using scriptdef for
example) would be a good fit.
