+# URL SCM Plugin
+
+This plugin allows the use of URLs as an SCM.
+
+This is an SCM plugin for Jenkins. While URLs are not actually a proper
+SCM, the two main behaviors of an SCM are supported - checkout and
+polling. Polling is accomplished by checking the last-modified property
+of the URL. Checkout is accomplished by copying the content of the URL
+into the workspace as a file. The file is given the same name as the
+final filename component of the URL. URLs without a filename component
+cannot be used at this time.
+
+This does duplicate some of what the [URL Trigger plugin](https://plugins.jenkins.io/urltrigger) does.
+
+Benefits of this plugin over the URL Trigger plugin:
+
+1. You can choose your own polling schedule via the SCM Polling trigger.
+2. Less resource intensive polling mechanism, since checking last-modified requires few bytes to transfer, regardless of the amount of data in the URL.
+
+Benefits of the URL Trigger plugin over this plugin:
+
+1. Jenkins only supports one SCM plugin per project. If you want to trigger an SCM checkout via a URL, then URL Trigger is a better choice.
+2. The last-modified property of a URL is not the right trigger for your builds, instead you need the content of the URL to change to trigger a build.
