You could write a wrapper to command line HTTP tool like CURL (the one I like) or WGET. The <cfexecute /> tag will work asynchronously if you specify a zero timeout. I current use this technique for Verity indexing-as we're still on CFMX 7 Standard. I really wish CF would provide for better mechanisms for asynchronous processing--and provide that capability for CFMX Standard versions. -Dan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:4/messageid:246792 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
