    dest="optional.jar" 
    verbose="true"
    usetimestamp="true"/>
Gets the nightly ant build from the tomcat distribution, if the local copy is missing or out of date. Uses the verbose option for progress information.
  <get src="https://insecure-bank.org/statement/user=1214" 
    dest="statement.html" 
    username="1214";
    password="secret"/>
