So, I had a minute and decided to test my own advice. Here's what I got in HttpWatch with IE 8: GET /index.aspx?aid=1000&rtype=4&kword=cardiff HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/x-ms-application, image/jpeg, application/xaml+xml, image/gif, image/pjpeg, application/x-ms-xbap, application/msword, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/x-shockwave-flash, */* Accept-Language: en-US User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath.2) Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Host: xmlfeed.laterooms.com Connection: Keep-Alive So, I replicated that in CF and removed the Accept-Encoding header (since I don't want deflated content), but got the same error. However, Wireshark shows me that the request and response is going back and forth, but the data is still being deflated. So, I found this, which sheds some light on the problem: http://www.brooks-bilson.com/blogs/rob/index.cfm/2010/1/14/Bug-in-ColdFusion-801-CHF-2-and-3-with-CFHTTP-and-Compressed-HTTP-Response-from-IIS Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsite. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
