+<title>Get Task</title>
+</head>
+
+<body>
+
+<h2><a name="get">Get</a></h2>
+<h3>Description</h3>
+<p>Gets files from URLs. When the verbose option is &quot;on&quot;, this task
+displays a '.' for every 100 Kb retrieved. Any URL schema supported by
+the runtime is valid here, including http:, ftp: and jar:;
+</p>
+The <i>usetimestamp</i> option enables you to control downloads so that the remote file is
+only fetched if newer than the local copy. If there is no local copy, the download always takes
+place. When a file is downloaded, the timestamp of the downloaded file is set to the remote timestamp.
+NB: This timestamp facility only works on downloads using the HTTP protocol.
+<p>
+A username and password can be specified, in which case basic 'slightly encoded
+plain text' authentication is used. This is only secure over an HTTPS link.
+</p>
+
+<p><b>Proxies</b>. Since Apache Ant 1.7.0, Ant running on Java1.5 or later can
+ <a href="../proxy.html">use the proxy settings of the operating
+ system</a> if enabled with the
+ <code>-autoproxy</code> option. There is also the
+ <a href="../Tasks/setproxy.html">&lt;setproxy&gt;</a> task
+ for earlier Java versions. With proxies turned
+ on, <code>&lt;get&gt;</code> requests against localhost may not work
+ as expected, if the request is relayed to the proxy.</p>

+<h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>
+<h4>any resource collection</h4>
+
+<p><a href="../Types/resources.html#collection">Resource
+ Collection</a>s are used to select groups of URLs to download. If
+ the collection contains more than one resource, the dest attribute
+ must point to a directory if it exists or a directory will be
+ created if it doesn't exist. The destination file name use the
+ last part of the path of the source URL unless you also specify a
+ mapper.</p>
+
+<h4>mapper</h4>
+
+<p>You can define name transformations by using a
+ nested <a href="../Types/mapper.html">mapper</a> element. You
+ can also use any filenamemapper type in place of the mapper
+ element.</p>
+
+<p>The mapper will receive the resource's name as argument. Any
+ resource for which the mapper returns no or more than one mapped
+ name will be skipped. If the returned name is a relative path, it
+ will be considered relative to the <em>dest</em> attribute.</p>
+
+<h3>Examples</h3>
+<pre> &lt;get src=&quot;http://ant.apache.org/&quot; dest=&quot;help/index.html&quot;/&gt;</pre>
+<p>Gets the index page of http://ant.apache.org/, and stores it in the file <code>help/index.html</code>.</p>
+
+<pre> &lt;get src=&quot;http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/KEYS&quot;
+ dest=&quot;KEYS&quot;
+ verbose=&quot;true&quot;
+ usetimestamp=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;</pre>
+<p>
+Gets the PGP keys of Ant's (current and past) release managers, if the local copy
+is missing or out of date. Uses the verbose option
+for progress information.
+</p>
+
+<pre> &lt;get src=&quot;https://insecure-bank.org/statement/user=1214&quot;
+ dest=&quot;statement.html&quot;
+ username="1214";
+ password="secret"/&gt;</pre>
+<p>
+Fetches some file from a server with access control. Because https is being used the
+fact that basic auth sends passwords in plaintext is moot if you
+ignore the fact that it is part of your build file which may be
+readable by third parties. If you need more security, consider using
+the <a href="input.html">input task</a> to query for a password.</p>
+
+<p>Using a macro like the following</p>
+
+<pre>
+ &lt;macrodef name="get-and-checksum">
+ &lt;attribute name="url"/>
+ &lt;attribute name="dest"/>
+ &lt;sequential&gt;
+ &lt;local name="destdir"/&gt;
+ &lt;dirname property="destdir" file="@{dest}"/&gt;
+ &lt;get dest="${destdir}"&gt;
+ &lt;url url="@{url}"/&gt;
+ &lt;url url="@{url}.sha1"/&gt;
+ &lt;firstmatchmapper&gt;
+ &lt;globmapper from="@{url}.sha1" to="@{dest}.sha"/&gt;
+ &lt;globmapper from="@{url}" to="@{dest}"/&gt;
+ &lt;/firstmatchmapper&gt;
+ &lt;/get&gt;
+ &lt;local name="checksum.matches"/>
+ &lt;local name="checksum.matches.fail"/>
+ &lt;checksum file="@{dest}" algorithm="sha" fileext=".sha"
+ verifyproperty="checksum.matches"/>
+ &lt;condition property="checksum.matches.fail">
+ &lt;equals arg1="${checksum.matches}" arg2="false"/>
+ &lt;/condition>
+ &lt;fail if="checksum.matches.fail">Checksum error&lt;/fail>
+ &lt;/sequential>
+ &lt;/macrodef>
+</pre>
+
+<p>it is possible to download an artifacts together with its SHA1
+ checksum (assuming a certain naming convention for the checksum
+ file, of course) and validate the checksum on the fly.</p>
+
+<pre>
+&lt;get dest=&quot;downloads&quot;&gt;
+ &lt;url url=&quot;http://ant.apache.org/index.html&quot;/&gt;
+ &lt;url url=&quot;http://ant.apache.org/faq.html&quot;/&gt;
+&lt;/get&gt;
+</pre>
+<p>Gets the index and FAQ pages of http://ant.apache.org/, and stores
+ them in the directory <code>downloads</code> which will be created if
+ necessary.</p>
