Okay, here's the situation: I have a UNIX box hosting a website. The website is basically there to hold a .swf file; when you go to the URL, the .swf file loads, and it pulls data from a database on another computer into a cache. The cache holds things for 24 hours. This all works fine, so it's really just background.

The real problem is that I want some way to go to the site every 24 hours (or thereabouts) automatically and start the process of pulling data into the cache. Unfortunately, wget doesn't seem to do this (it only downloads the .swf file, or the .html file containing it). Is there some other UNIX command that I can put in a cron job to accomplish this task, or am I going to have to start fiddling with the underlying machinery?
