Hey all, So, I'm whipping together a little link validator for a client that has a database full of links. It's pretty straightforward - I'm just looping over a query of links and using cfhttp to try to grab the headers.
What I'm curious about is that many of the pdfs fail with a timeout error after 15 seconds (the time I've set in the cfhttp tag). But, if I just click the link manually, they load fine for me in much less than that. Is there something odd about the way CF tries to access PDF's. I know that some browsers will do a progressive fetch (and I'm not sure if CF does), but that really shouldn't be an issue if I'm just returning headers, should it?
