What, exactly, are you trying to do? More detail would be helpful.
It is possible (and easy) to schedule a cron job to hit a certain webpage using wget or curl, but is that really the best way to do it? If you are trying to update something on the server, it would be a better idea to run the job via a mechanism that doesn't require the web server in the middle. If PHP is your favored language, it is possible to run PHP from the command line. Start the script out with the following shebang line:
"#!/usr/bin/php -q"
and then execute it from the command line like any other shell script. You can then schedule that job via cron, if you like. I hope this helped to answer your question.
