Hey Scott, how about a task action that allows one to do stuff similar to the GNU cURL app?

It could be something as simple as allowing a GET or POST to a URL with some property value substitutions thrown in. Sometimes to read from or update a TCP device all that's needed is a simple URL to send or request data. If there was an action item in a task for this, then we wouldn't have to have a bunch of little scripts for it or a special sw device in many cases. I can do a screen mock-up if that would help.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Terry

It's a good idea, and definitely a missing piece.

I wrote a little Device plugin to do some really really simple GET stuff. Not sure how flexible it is, but I use it in my system and it works well for the little it does.
