If you have an existing page which invokes (form or link) the cgi
script, you have everything you need to duplicate the process thru
CFHTTP.
Some cgi scripts are invoked with a link... use GFHTTP method = get
Some cgi scripts are invoked with a form... use GFHTTP method = get or post to
match the Form method parameter.
if method= get, replicate the form fields with URL params
if method = post replicate the form fields with cfhttpparam statements
You can invoke any cgi program that an html page invokes, just
examine the source and simulate the process with CFHTTP
