Polling for file updates over http/s?

I'm having to write a java daemon that polls a service over http for an
updated file. This effectively provides an "automatic updates" mechanism.

Sounds like a job that could be a fit for Camel. Has anyone ever tried
developing such a component?

Hi

Yeah sounds like you can create a route starting from a timer / quartz
to trigger when to run, and then call a http endpoint, and then
process the response / stores the response as a file etc.
