So I've been tacking in more robustness into my refactoring of get,java,
along with getting the setproxy task to work in java1.1 , and yes, it is
easy to raise a file not found exception once you know what to do.

More to the point, you can do it the shipping get.java with the task

  <target name="test7">
    <get src="http://www.apache.org/missingfilewithoddextension.avz"
     dest="get.tmp"/>
  </target>

The fault isn't in costin's code; it's in the stuff I added to do timestamp
based loads -so the bug has been present for months and months. Oops :-) At
least nobody has noticed yet.

I'm going to fix it in my reworked implementation -expect it soon- after
which the change can go back into Get.java, although I'm doing the legacy
support for this task onto the new codebase.

Should I log this bug on bugzilla?

If you want to. You could wait until your patch has been sent and
applied and record it as fixed at the same time 8-)
