How do i send an HTTP command from batch file??

[bjjere]

I want to create a batch file that will issue an http command to my IP camera to take a photo.  When I enter the following in chrome or IE it works to capture like i want: 
http://192.168.0.171/axis-cgi/io/virtualinput.cgi?action=6:/1000\

How can I put this in a windows batch file?!  I do not need a response from the command, just to send the into to the address listed...

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Try wget.exe with the url

like this

wget http://192.168.0.171/axis-cgi/io/virtualinput.cgi?action=6:/1000\

Thank you!!! Wget turned out to work for me but by taking a different approach.  At first I wanted to "send" the http "command" to my axis camera which i had programmed to save a snapshot to a specified location upon receiving the command.  While wget did not send the http command like I thought it would I did use Wget to instead download an image from the camera web interface.

i can now use: wget http://192.168.2.22/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?
to automatically download the live image to my hard drive.

Trying to use xml.http post or get commands did not get me anywhere either... was probably using wrong.  As I was not trying to post anything to the URL or Get anything back, just send the cgi command, i think it was the wrong approach.

Thanks for your help!!
