Dear Dave,

That's right: if i call pages trough CFHTTP, the weirdest things happens: for example:
there is a function that generates a html table with meters and values, if i call that page trough CFHTTP, the table will be generated but not the data in it.
Another example you can try yourself: with <cfhttp method="get"
url="" resolveurl="yes"></cfhttp>
<cfoutput>#CFHTTP.FileContent#</cfoutput> , you can call the loginpage right? Well, if you login, everything seems normal, until you want to see some data, it isn't generated properly: again: tables, pulldownmenus are generated, the data that has to be in it, not. It seems to be something with calling these pages directly.
If i include the application.dll in the url in the CFHTTP-tag nothing will show up.
Since I'm not a programmer I wouldn't know if I can get to the source code, and with it does exactly. The developers also stay very foggy on that.
