HttpRequestTask is very desirable

[FaZend <team@…>]

When a building cycle is finished it is very useful to make a HTTP request to the production server and get the status report of what's going on there. Whether the product deployed properly? Whether we have some problems after the deployment?

I would suggest to create a new task - HttpRequestTask. It should work like this:

<http-request
  url="http://my-production.example.com/check-deployment.php"
  response-regex="/OK/"
 />

The task will make a HTTP request to the URL provided, and will try to match the response received against the REGEX provided. If they match - everything is OK. If they don't - the build is failed.

and again, detailed logging would be very helpful… maybe verbose param should also be present here.
