Hi Jim
While it is true that using CFHTTP and CFFILE and CFHTTP again would work (or, in
fact, CFHTTP to another CFHTTP page), I'm concerned that it might be too slow.
I'm having to interface with a legacy system which can be accessed via special-purpose
CGI scripts which were not written by us. We do not have access to the source code.
Doh.
