With certain versions of CF, if you retrieve content from a remote server,
but that server doesn't explicitly label it as a text MIME type, you won't
be able to reference it with CFHTTP.FileContent. There are two solutions:
1. Upgrade to a later version. I believe this was fixed in CF 4.5.1 SP2.
2. Instead of simply referencing CFHTTP.FileContent, use CFHTTP to write it
to a file, then use CFFILE to read that file and work with it as needed.
If you don't want to use either of those solutions, you can use a
third-party HTTP component, if you like.
Finally, you'll want to make sure that you're actually returning what you
think you should be getting - you can use method 2 to check this.
