Handler for periodically polling another web site, whose results are (optionally) added to the server's properties. This also includes the ability to request URL's on a cron-like schedule.
The result of fetching the url is expected to be a text document in java Properties format.
Properties:
url above.
 [token].name and [token].value
		define a new http header.
 sessionTable (see below)parameter is 
		identical to the sessionTable parameter of
		the SetTemplate, then this specifies the
		namespace parameter that may be used with
		the SetTemplate "namespace" parameter to
		obtain the extracted data.  Defaults to the "prepend" parameter.
 date format specifier
		to use for matching "match"
		patterns.  Defaults to "EE-MM-dd-HH-mm".
 host:port, or host
		it the desired port is 80.
 sessionTable
     used by the SetTemplate to allow
     values obtained by this handler to be accessable from within
     templates.
     
     If the sessionTable is set, the namespace
     value is used to name the table (e.g. the namespace
     specified by SetTemplate.  If no
     namespace parameter is given, then prepend is used
     as the namespace parameter.
 
If prepend is specified, the following additional properties are created, and added to the properties with the specified prefix.

public boolean init(Server server,
                    String prefix)
init in interface Handlerserver - The HTTP server that created this Handler.
		Typical Handlers will use Server.props
		to obtain run-time configuration information.prefix - The handlers name.
		The string this Handler may prepend to all
		of the keys that it uses to extract configuration information
		from Server.props.  This is set (by the Server
		and ChainHandler) to help avoid configuration parameter
		namespace collisions.
true if this Handler initialized
		successfully, false otherwise.  If
		false is returned, this Handler
		should not be used.public boolean respond(Request request)
respond in interface Handlerrequest - The Request object that represents the HTTP
		request.
true if the request was handled.  A request was
		handled if a response was supplied to the client, typically
		by calling Request.sendResponse() or
		Request.sendError.public void run()
