I was having a couple of problems - firewall not allowing the connection to that specific URL I was using and other issue was the web site the URL points to was not responding.
I want to ping a hidden URL with parameters e.g. http://www.xxxxxxx.co.nz/appupdate/Stoc ... ckQuantity}
and handle the response - probably a integer reply.
If any one that has used it do you have some example commands?
