You could do it as separate steps: <get src="http://.../viewproperties"; dest="downloaded.properties" usetimestamp="true" /> <loadproperties srcFile="downloaded.properties"/>
You may also have to set <setproxy proxyhost="" /> Ben -----Original Message----- From: raju [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2008 7:23 AM To: user@ant.apache.org Subject: Retrieving key value pairs from URL and setting as system property Hi, I need to access a web URL say http://.../viewproperties which throws plain html with key value pairs as response. Now as part of the main build i need to acces the above mentioned URL and set each of the key value pairs as system environment variables so that they are available other programs. 1)Is it possible to read url and access properties directly without writing to a properties file? If we have to write to properties file to read it say like <property url="http://www.mysite.com/bla/props/foo.properties"/> Then how can we read a plain html and write its key-value pair to propreties file? 2)How can we set the key values read as system environment variables using ANT?
