Web Request Task

The Web Request task allows adTempus to request a page or file from a Web server or call a method on a Web service.

This task can be used to simply "ping" a URL on the server (for example, if the Web application has offline processing that is triggered by requesting a special URL on the server) or to download a page or file from the Web server.

Pages and files retrieved by the task can be saved in the job's history and/or written to a specified location on the adTempus server.

The Web Request Task is used to request a URL as part of job processing. If you want to trigger a job based on the response (or non-response) of a Web server, use the Computer Monitor Trigger instead.

To download files using FTP or SFTP, use the File Transfer Task.
