Wouldn't it make more sense to use cflocation to direct the browser to the
proper file to download? I'm currently a project that stores links to
points the browser to the proper streaming media file. I was going to use
CFHTTP, as you have, but read somewhere on the Allaire forums that there's
less overhead on the CF server and there's less chance of the download being
corrupted (or in my case, less chance of a frames downloading in the wrong
order).
Of course, using cflocation like this probably creates a whole mess of state
management problems.
