They will always get a HTTP response back, there is no way around
that because that is how HTTP is defined:
<quote>
6 Response
After receiving and interpreting a request message, a server
responds
with an HTTP response message.
Response = Status-Line ; Section 6.1
*(( general-header ; Section 4.5
| response-header ; Section 6.2
| entity-header ) CRLF) ; Section 7.1
CRLF
[ message-body ] ; Section 7.2
</quote> http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt
The best thing to do is using cfheader to send a HTTP 204 "No
Content" status code back:
<cfcontent reset="yes"><cfheader statuscode="204"><cfabort>
If they really don't want a response, HTTP is the wrong protocol
and maybe they should be using SOAP over BEEP or something.
