Ant: echo file contents to console with Get task?

Just what the title says - is it possible to echo the response contents without having to store the file?
I would also settle for being able to throw out the results, so a dest file is not created (on Windows, so no /dev/null).

On windows there are special file called NUL
which has the same function as /dev/null on *nix
(there are also CON, PRN, etc, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_file)
I think it is possible to use this file as the dest param
<get src="http://blahblahblah..." dest="NUL" />
If you want to echo the result to the console, you can use CON as the destination
<get src="http://blahblahblah..." dest="CON" />
I dont know if it is a proper solution in the ant task, but somehow just work.

Thanks, never knew about those. NUL works as expected, CON unfortunately gives a '(Access is denied)', but like I said, NUL will do. Hmm, would be nice to have a system independent abstraction over /dev/null & NUL.

Looking at the 'Get Task' documentation, I see the 'dest' field is required so I think you're out of luck.

Specify the file path in srcfile. the content of the file will be stored into variable from the given file
<loadfile property="content" srcfile="filepath"/>
<echo message="========================================================"></echo>
<echo message="${content}" />
