Hi all,

I am an ANT newbie and have a few questions. I have the following task
which works but wondering if I could check the result status from the http
url.

<target name="is_jboss_running" depends="">
   <description>Checks if the JBoss Server is running.</description>
   <echo>Testing if the JBoss Server is running on ${jboss.url}</echo>
    <condition property="is_jboss_running" else="false">
     <http url="${jboss.url}"/>
      </condition>
    <echo message="Is JBoss running? ... [ ${is_jboss_running} ]"/>
</target>

This outputs...
[echo] Testing if the JBoss Server is running on http://localhost:8080
Checking for http://localhost:8080
Result code for http://localhost:8080 was 200
[echo] Is JBoss running? ... [ true ]

Which is fine, but I am wondering if its possible to grep or run a reg ex on
the return string "Result code for http://localhost:8080 was 200" and test
for http status codes ie 200.

I have seen this from anteater
http://aft.sourceforge.net/manual/Getting%20started.html which will do
exactly what I am asking but I would like to explore the core ant features
features before resulting to add an external tool.

Has anyone got any suggestions?
