Thanks, what's also killing me in trying to estimate is transaction failures.
Data is submitted to a 3rd party site, one screen is filled, then another, then another (it looks as if there at least 3 screens if not more). All is fine when things work. If there is a transaction failure on the remote server ... ???? How would that be known? -- We've inputted the data into the form and are not waiting for a response. -- CF_HTTPing to the next screen and inputting data there. We can access that screen whether or not the data was successfully captured earlier. How will the client know that there was a transaction failure? More important how can the process be made so that the client never knows that there was a transaction failure?

I would tell them that it all depends on the depth of the system on how long getting into it will take. If this is for a contract, bid an hourly rate, as this could take PLENTY of hours. Verizon took well over 40. William -- William E. Seiter Have you ever read a book that changed your life?

We need to push and pull data from 3rd Party sites.

Take a look at the cf_httpx custom tag. It has a lot of features that mirror cfhttp, but added features like sessions and cookie keeping. What I have found in the past is, you may have to use a session sniffer to show you what is sent to each page in their system and what is returned. You might be surprised how many pages are 'loaded' before you are actually logged into their service. For one solution that I had to create I ended up using both cfhttp and cf_httpx to make it work. It was just plain difficult. Good luck, William -- William E. Seiter Have you ever read a book that changed your life?

While the broad concepts seem simple implementing them are more complicated. (What else is new?) I'm trying to pull data from several password protected sites and am unable (for instance American Express).
