Create a broken-page simulator by creating a new CF page, then adding the Sleep() function (link below) to make your page "unavailable" for a lengthy amount of time.
Call this page with CFHTTP and then catch the timeout errors. You can then simulate a failure of any time period you choose. http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=959 M!ke -----Original Message----- From: Munson, Jacob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 28, 2005 11:21 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: cfhttp timeout That's a good idea.
