title: Could a windows scheduled task connect to a rest endpoint?
body: <p>I have a rest service written in ASP.NET Web API.</p>
  
  <p>I want a scheduled task to connect to an endpoint like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>www.example.com/jobs/job1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to be able to set the interval time to say every 12 hours.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to do this with a scheduled task?</p>
  
  <p>I want to avoid having to create a windows service just to ping a rest endpoint.</p>
