<snip> Well, shame on you for hiding requirements details (Win32, no CygWin), but wget is available on windoze and using it is simple enough that it can be run from a windoze (excuse the usage) "shell" - the venerable batch file. If your developer friend lives/works on windoze and can't lash together a one-line batch file he shouldn't be allowed near a computer other than to play games.
Also, why on earth would anyone want to handle something as simple as this via something potentially as complicated as Java or Groovy? This is why a real developer has a wide range of tools in his/her "kit." And if you find that your available tools don't fit, find and learn one that does. I needed a tool to make flow chart diagrams MY way, and got so frustrated with then-available tools that I learned Postscript and wrote my own tool - a Fortran program that built Poscript output. I've lost count of how useful it has been to have learned Poscript. (Hey, maybe he could write a Postscript program to download and PRINT the logs??!?!) In software development as in life, if you ain't learnin' you're dyin'.
