Re: Ant get task to accept arbitrary header

Hello.

I am using the and get task for downloading files from a remote server.
The server requires tokens custom headers for authentication/authorization
i.e.

I was wondering whether it's a good idea to add that to the current get
 task.

I got the source  code from github and did some changes in
https://github.com/apache/ant/blob/master/src/main/org/
apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/Get.java

Now, wanted to have sometyhing like  this under the <get> node

<headers>
  <header name="aaaa" value="bbb"/>

<header name="cccc" value="dddd"/>

</headers>



Please, after changing the java  code, what are the steps required to let
the <get> tag accept children nodes <headers> and <header>?

Currently, tests are failing on me with:

* [junit] Testcase: testHeaders took 0.034 sec*
*    [junit] Caused an ERROR*
*    [junit] get doesn't support the nested "headers" element.*
*    [junit] ...ant/src/etc/testcases/taskdefs/get.xml:102: get doesn't
support the nested "headers" element.*
*    [junit] at
org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.handleChildren(UnknownElement.java:374)*
*    [junit] at
org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.configure(UnknownElement.java:205)*
*    [junit] at
org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.maybeConfigure(UnknownElement.java:164)*


Thank you very much.

Sorry the previous email left before I told it to :-)
