>> >>So there is no other way to create a CF upload service without sending the file through HTTP as a multi-part request?
>> Not what I am aware of. >> But what so evil about HTTP requests? The only other solution I have found is to utilize an FTP applet to perform the upload to an FTP server. FTP is much better suited for large file transfers than is HTTP. In one application we use a java applet to perform the upload and once the upload is complete it calls a CF page to "import" the file and information into the DB and website. The down side is that many (most) Internet Security programs block port 21 on the client's PC and they don't know why or how to change it. HTTP is fine for small to medium sized files like images but once files get over 50-100meg in size you need a lot of resources on the server to accept and process it via HTTP.
