What's the best way to have a Windows Server request some webpage every xx minutes? Coming from the Linux world, I know I can do this with a cron job using curl or wget. I don't need to save the resulting page, I just need the script to run server-side, as if somebody manually visited the page. Do I need to install wget for Windows or can I use some existing Windows tool to accomplish this via Scheduled Task?
Windows Scheduled Task – ‘Ping’ webpage every xx minutes
