Add support for storing the result code and output in properties about missing-link HOT 13 CLOSED

Added an attribute to the root http task "statusProperty" which defines a 
property to save the response status to.  For example:

  <target name="get">
    <http url="http://www.google.com/asfaf" statusProperty="out.status" failOnUnexpected="false"/>
    <echo message="Response Status: ${out.status}"/>
  </target>

Will be available in the 1.1.3 release

Great!

Would it be possible to add outputProperty as well?

Whoops,  missed that part.. need to redact 1.1.3 that I'm in the middle of 
releasing

Added an attribute to the root http task "entityProperty" which defines a 
property to save the response entity to.  For example:

  <target name="http-get">
    <http url="http://www.google.com" entityProperty="ent"/>
    <echo message="resp: ${ent}"/>
  </target>

Great!

Would it be possible to add headerProperty as well?  That way, one could save 
the entire set of headers, from which one could extract values.

Our specific use case is to save the cookie value returned an initial response, 
to be used in subsequent requests.

I can, but i already did 1.1.3 this morning.. If you like, open up a new 
enhancement issue and i'll do a quick 1.1.4 release

What would you expect this to look like? I wouldn't want to dump all headers 
into a string, then formatting etc would have to be assumed

maybe something like

<http ...>
  <saveHeader name="Cookie-X" property="my.prop"/>
</http>

Thanks, Alex!

Being able to save the value of any specific header to a property would be 
terrific - far better than having to parse a monolithic string containing all 
of the headers and their values.

How do you suggest handling values of headers, like Set-Cookie, that can appear 
more than once in a response?

(Thanks as well, Anders, for your contributions - much appreciated!)
