Chad,

It might also be a "Referer" issue. Site don't like screen-scraping so
they try to limit views to only people who came from a local site. Check
this out:

You have to send a fake referring value to trick the site into thinking
you are already on it.

Subject: cfhttp

Does CFHTTP show up as a "browser" type that could be blocked?

I cannot download my Calvin and Hobbes comics anymore with the
following.

<cfhttp method="GET"
url="http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ch/2007/ch070605.gif";
path="#variables.path#" file="calvin#day#.gif">

If I hit the URL:
http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ch/2007/ch070605.gif

I get the comic, but if I use CFHttp it fails.
