I think you're probably asking for trouble. I tried using Coldfusion to download a 7meg SQL file once and it crashed out every time.

Also concerned about losing an available thread. I'm trying to basically do a "wget" in coldfusion and don't want to lose an available thread while I do it. Here's my planned. Is something like this available somewhere? What do you think? Cfx_wget url=xxxx destinationFile=yyyy. Callbackurl=localhost/callback.cfm Calling this gets a uuid Then I write a java class to kick off a thread (thread name is the uuid the cfx returned) to write a url input stream to the specified file and then hit the "callback" url when done, with all the params of the tag call and the http status code of the get operation. I can also ask this thread what its status is and/or cancel it by looking for the thread by its uuid name. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:272979 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
