if this is already possible, please describe how to do it in the documentation. In comparison, the <get> task at least can output into a file as per (http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/get.html)
Possible solution is to use <loadfile> on the output file from <get> and then <delete> output file. http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/loadfile.html
Forget my comment. I mis-read this. These are not the droids you are looking for.
