MSBuild download file task

I had a need to download a file in MSBuild and didn’t want to assume any tools on the server. I coded together a simple task which lets you specify the URL to download, and optionally a file name or/and a output path. The goal was to keep it as small as possible, thus the bad formatting and non existent error checking.

<DownloadFile Url=”http://ftp.iinet.net.au/welcome.txt”  />
<DownloadFile Url=”http://ftp.iinet.net.au/welcome.txt” OutputFolder=”D:\” File=”awesome.txt” />
