Crontab issuing GET

I need some help with the way RH Linux 9 handles it's crontab. I have need
to have a cron that issues a GET request.
I have tried the following in /etc/crontab:
15 3 * * * /usr/bin/GET http://path 
And
15 3 * * * GET http://path

I've also tried creating a file in both /etc/cron.d and /var/spool/cron
containing each of these two commands.
The command works from a command line with any user I've tested it with. It
seems that the cron simply isn't excecuting, but I get nothing in the cron
daily report about it. Any clues what I'm missing?

Thanks,
Roger
