> Out of curiosity, why is that a problem with cfhttp? > Don't you think using cfhttp or any http client for that matter to perform what should essentially be a function call and handled either by a UDF or the language itself is a little bit of overkill? I guess I could always write a CFX tag in C++ or Delphi to achieve the same result but again, for the problem at hand, it seems like overkill.
*BUT* As I write this, it occurs to me that if I were to write a C++ or Delphi CFX tag, I would be solving my particular real world problem in a way that is akin to the possibilities that Sean is showing us with the new capabilities that moving to Java 6 offers. Although the capabilities of Scorpio and their repercussions are much wider than the CFX interface provides for, the intent I believe isn't that different from CF 7 and below. ColdFusion has, since version 3 supported extending its capabilities by using alternative technologies like C++ and Delphi etc. When you consider this, the question then becomes, "If there are reasons to write non-Java CFX tags then why wouldn't there be reasons to use the capabilities that Scorpio will offer us in the future?"
