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.
