- Executes HTTP requests periodically and performs some basic checks on the response data ("validation tasks").
- Reads task information from an XML file that can be updated independently of the application code (restart not needed either).
- Sends email notifications about invalid results (using Sendgrid's service).
- Run schedule can also be set through a separate configuration file (restart required).
- Header values can contain spaces (i.e. for User-Agent).
Next steps:
- Offer some basic processing statistics and updating the XML with the tasks through the web API
- Sending POST requests
