Sounds like you need an asynchronous messaging system... I don't think there is a way using just CF and CFHTTP. Creating a simple queue wouldn't be that hard (assuming you have some control over server2...) Server1 would do a CFHTTP to server2 which sets a record in a DB (in the queue) with an immediate response back to server1. Then you have a scheduled task on server2 that fires every so often and completes the work based on what is pending in the DB.

Does anybody know if there's a way to send a response back to a cfhttp request to tell it "okay, this is all the content you're going to get" and then continue processing the page without tying up the other cf server? ... to give an illustration, a situation where there are 2 cf servers involved: server1 --cfhttp--> server2 - ^ | |-------------------------- Now ... normally what happens is server 1 doesn't receive _anything_ and won't continue processing the page until server2 is _completely_ finished sending the response (so just using <cfflush> on the server2 page doesn't work, I already know that). So as long ast server2 is running its page, the request on server1 is tied up and won't continue or finish processing. If server2 also performs a cfhttp request this could get ugly fast. What I'd like to do is have server1 send a request, send a response page back from server2 that lets server1 finish its request while server2 goes on to do other heavy lifting stuff like other cfhttp requests... Any thoughts greatly appreciated. :) s. isaac dealey 954-776-0046 new epoch http://www.turnkey.to lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to tapestry api is opensource http://www.turnkey.to/tapi certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
