Subject: HTTP request task available

I wrote an enhanced version of the "get" task, that allows the user to:
 
* Retrieve the contents of any URL, or alternatively access that URL but then discard the results (useful for causing some side effect on the server)
* Simulate the submission of an HTML form, using either GET or POST methods.
* Set arbitrary HTTP headers.
 
I'd like to contribute this class to the ant team, so that it will be included with the normal builds. Can someone tell me what I need to do to accomplish this?
 
If it's a change of the get-task you should create a patch using "cvs diff -u Get.java" (if you have access to CVS). If it's a completely new task just post it on this list (as an attached file). Please include documentation. Use "[PATCH]" in the beginning of the subject so we know what it is :-)
 
Further Information is available at http://jakarta.apache.org/site/getinvolved.html.
