Add also "curl" and "wget", "lynx --source", ...

For a cron job its the best to first fetch the page to a temporary
file. This file should be checked for some success indicators.  If the
file is valid, it can be renamed to the public visible name (mv). This
is an atomic operation, so no access can produce empty/wrong content.
