Sorry – I had a case of protocol confusion yesterday!

Yes – that would work for HTTPS – I also had to authenticate on our server hence the username/password and wget…

Ahh, I never tried it with https, but I would think that just using https in the URL you give Firefox would work? If not, then yep, the wget is probably the way to go.

Brian – I did see that in the Ant docs but there is no way to pass the HTTPS info using that method unless I missed something?

(Had to redo this with no start and end brackets) Just FYI you can do this without the need for any special download:

exec executable=”C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe”
arg value=”http://mysite.com/myapp/index.cfm?reload=true”
/exec
