Just for fun...
Here is some java to just request the Http Status code (200 ok , 404
etc.)from a URL , it *should* be much faster than using cfhttp ... wrap it
up in a java cfx , and there you go.
Good exercise for you :-)
If you need help give me a shout and I'll get to it a some stage :-)
Justin
To run the class as is , if you have the JDK installed just run
javac Main.java
and then
java Main
>From the cmd line
http://www.allaire.com is hardcorded in ...
//------------------ java code ---------------------
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
class Main {
public static void main (String[] args)
{
int responseCode;
HttpURLConnection connection;
try
{
URL url = new URL("http://www.allaire.com");
connection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();
System.out.println("Status: " + responseCode );
}
catch (MalformedURLException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
