title: Calling a URL from a stored procedure in SQL Server?
body: <p>Just wondering if its possible to call a URL from a stored procedure (eventually adding that procedure to a sql job)  As the webpage refreshes my database, it would be excellent if I could automate this process.</p>
  
  <p>Edit:</p>
  
  <p>I want to be able to request a webpage from a store procedure. On the page load of the desired webpage there is a function that refreshes my database.  I want it to refresh my database at 4 am every day. In order for me not to manually go onto the site at 4am (still sleeping) I need something else to do it for me. I thought sql jobs would be excellent, as I can set the time, and the job up. I don't know PowerShell all that well, and wanted to know if I could request a URL, or visit a url using a stored procedure or any other way.</p>
