Dave, you're a genius! When I pass along a recognized user_agent, it lets me in
via my account ...
With this help, I was able to quickly daisy-chain 3 CFHTTP tags which zip me
through 2 screens, parse out a dynamically-named download file, and download the file
-
automatically in ONE click without ever leaving my own site! I'm impressed! <g>
Thanks again...
