<p>The Url Trigger is used to trigger a CCNet build when the page at a particular url changes. The Url Trigger will poll the specified url according to a configured polling interval to detect if the last modified date of the page has changed since the last integration.</p>
<p>This trigger is especially useful in reducing the load on your source control system caused by the polling for modifications performed by an Interval Trigger. If your source control system supports trigger scripts (such as the use of commitinfo scripts in CVS), you can use create a trigger to touch the page that is being monitored by CCNet to start a new integration.</p>

<p><img class="emoticon" src="images/icons/emoticons/warning.gif" height="16" width="16" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"/> NOTE: there is currently a limitation in this trigger such that it will not persist the url's last modified date when the server restarts. This means that the trigger will always attempt to start a new integration when the first interval expires after the server starts up.</p>
<p><img class="emoticon" src="images/icons/emoticons/warning.gif" height="16" width="16" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"/> NOTE: The UrlTrigger will only work with pages that return a reliable LastModified date HTTP Header, such as static html pages or well-behaved dynamic pages. Using static html pages is the most reliable way to use this trigger.</p>
