wget
I've been meaning to write about wget -The awesome and easy to use webpage getter. Essentially wget goes to a URL and downloads the web response to a local file. This is really useful when you're trying to:
1. Kick off a periodic process that access a web-based application through a URL which then triggers an event in the application.
2. Download stuff off the internet like files, etc.
3. All kinds of stuff that has a web-based API...for e.g tweets!
Usage
The following downloads the response to a file on your local drive.
Download
You can download wget from here.
You can download the manual from here.
Store Response to Log
If your restful web-service returns statuses of commands, try using this in your batch file
This will append the response to a log file
