PLEASE fix CFHTTP!!! >Macromedia, fix cfhttp and you'll likely get a double upgrade from >me. I'll purchase 5.0 now and eventually MX when it's stable. Unfortunatley you can't buy 5.0 anymore, well maybe on e-bay. I would recommend using a custom tag replacemnet for cfhttp anyway bud, even when it works, cfhttp is damn slow. I have used to methods, one is Lewis Sellers's tcpclient.dll, which is nice and fast and stable. And recenlty, a java cfx which is amazingly fast, java would seem to be the way to go, it's honestly not that hard either. I'll add the source of what I came up with, it's for posting XML but it should be very easy to modify to your needs. Give the java a go, you won't regret it.
