  - ### execute

    public void execute() throws BuildException
    Does the work.
    Overrides:
      `execute` in class `Task`
    Throws:
      `BuildException` - Thrown in unrecoverable error.

  - ### doGet

    @Deprecated public boolean doGet​(int logLevel, Get.DownloadProgress progress) throws IOException
    Deprecated.
    only gets the first configured resource
    make a get request, with the supplied progress and logging info. All the other config parameters are set at the task level, source, dest, ignoreErrors, etc.
    Parameters:
      `logLevel` - level to log at, see `Project.log(String, int)`
      `progress` - progress callback; null for no-callbacks
    Returns:
      true for a successful download, false otherwise. The return value is only relevant when `ignoreErrors` is true, as when false all failures raise BuildExceptions.
    Throws:
      `IOException` - for network trouble
      `BuildException` - for argument errors, or other trouble when ignoreErrors is false.

  - ### doGet

    public boolean doGet​(URL source, File dest, int logLevel, Get.DownloadProgress progress) throws IOException

    Parameters:
      `source` - the URL to get
      `dest` - the target file
      `logLevel` - level to log at, see `Project.log(String, int)`

    Since:
      Ant 1.8.0

  - ### log

    public void log​(String msg, int msgLevel)
    Description copied from class: `Task`
    Logs a message with the given priority. This delegates the actual logging to the project.
    Overrides:
      `log` in class `Task`
    Parameters:
      `msg` - The message to be logged. Should not be `null`.
      `msgLevel` - The message priority at which this message is to be logged.

  - ### setSrc

    public void setSrc​(URL u)
    Set an URL to get.
    Parameters:
      `u` - URL for the file.

  - ### add

    public void add​(ResourceCollection rc)
    Adds URLs to get.
    Parameters:
      `rc` - ResourceCollection
    Since:
      Ant 1.8.0

  - ### setDest

    public void setDest​(File dest)
    Where to copy the source file.
    Parameters:
      `dest` - Path to file.

  - ### setVerbose

    public void setVerbose​(boolean v)
    If true, show verbose progress information.
    Parameters:
      `v` - if "true" then be verbose

  - ### setQuiet

    public void setQuiet​(boolean v)
    If true, set default log level to Project.MSG_ERR.
    Parameters:
      `v` - if "true" then be quiet
    Since:
      Ant 1.9.4

  - ### setIgnoreErrors

    public void setIgnoreErrors​(boolean v)
    If true, log errors but do not treat as fatal.
    Parameters:
      `v` - if "true" then don't report download errors up to ant

  - ### setUseTimestamp

    public void setUseTimestamp​(boolean v)
    If true, conditionally download a file based on the timestamp of the local copy.

    In this situation, the if-modified-since header is set so that the file is only fetched if it is newer than the local file (or there is no local file) This flag is only valid on HTTP connections, it is ignored in other cases. When the flag is set, the local copy of the downloaded file will also have its timestamp set to the remote file time.

    Note that remote files of date 1/1/1970 (GMT) are treated as 'no timestamp', and web servers often serve files with a timestamp in the future by replacing their timestamp with that of the current time. Also, inter-computer clock differences can cause no end of grief.

    Parameters:
      `v` - "true" to enable file time fetching

  - ### setUsername

    public void setUsername​(String u)
    Username for basic auth.
    Parameters:
      `u` - username for authentication

  - ### setPassword

    public void setPassword​(String p)
    password for the basic authentication.
    Parameters:
      `p` - password for authentication

  - ### setMaxTime

    public void setMaxTime​(long maxTime)
    The time in seconds the download is allowed to take before being terminated.
    Parameters:
      `maxTime` - long
    Since:
      Ant 1.8.0

  - ### setRetries

    public void setRetries​(int r)
    The number of attempts to make for opening the URI, defaults to 3.

    The name of the method is misleading as a value of 1 means "don't retry on error" and a value of 0 meant don't even try to reach the URI at all.

    Parameters:
      `r` - number of attempts to make
    Since:
      Ant 1.8.0

  - ### setSkipExisting

    public void setSkipExisting​(boolean s)
    Skip files that already exist locally.
    Parameters:

    Since:
      Ant 1.8.0

  - ### setUserAgent

    public void setUserAgent​(String userAgent)
    HTTP connections only - set the user-agent to be used when communicating with remote server. if null, then the value is considered unset and the behaviour falls back to the default of the http API.
    Parameters:
      `userAgent` - String
    Since:
      Ant 1.9.3

  - ### setHttpUseCaches

    public void setHttpUseCaches​(boolean httpUseCache)

    Parameters:
      `httpUseCache` - boolean
    Since:
      Ant 1.8.0

  - ### setTryGzipEncoding

    public void setTryGzipEncoding​(boolean b)
    Whether to transparently try to reduce bandwidth by telling the server ant would support gzip encoding.

    Setting this to true also means Ant will uncompress `.tar.gz` and similar files automatically.

    Parameters:
      `b` - boolean
    Since:
      Ant 1.9.5

  - ### addConfiguredHeader

    public void addConfiguredHeader​(Header header)
    Add a nested header
    Parameters:
