I want to monitor the log file of my application which however doesn't work locally but on a SaaS platform and is exposed over HTTP and WebDAV. So, an equivalent of tail -f that works for URLs would do great job for me.
P.S. If you know of any other tools that can monitor remote files over HTTP, it may also be of help. Thanks
wget -N http://somewhere/something
, that'll download file only if it's newer than one that you downloaded before or usewget -O - http://somewhere/something
to redirect file to stdout.
