I use httpapi, does the job of wget.
You can use to "trigger" some process, not like a DataBase trigger. In the target computer you write a "CGI" program that verifiies the caller and if acceptable then it runs a program.

A contractor is doing a website product search for us (not live yet). I am
creating the search files on the System I and FTPing them to our godaddy
website. I have this working.

The contractor says he needs a trigger of some sort to indicate the file
uploads are complete. He suggested wget. I'd never heard of wget and what
I read about it sure didn't sound like a 'trigger' but that's probably just
me. :)

The archives seem to suggest either geturi or httpapi can function as a
wget. Sound reasonable? I'm still having brainlock on how a utility
designed to copy webpages functions as a trigger, but as I said that's
probably just me.

Thanks.
