in case of a unix env, URL should be used with forward slashes ('/') instead
of backslashes

and in case any string needs to be used backslashes, they need to accompany
another backslash. this is because backslash acts as a escape sequence
character (remember \n)

so to avoid such a situation, use "\\". the ant interpreter will interpret
the same as a single "\" and the task will be accomplished
