How frustrating, there's clearly a character encoding issue with using XmlParse in this way (I see it too in CF8). I have no problems using cfhttp with CF8 though.
Here's a long shot - revert back to cfhttp and try writing to file before parsing (clearly horrid but may be it'll work): <cfhttp url="http://sphumd.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/9205167574356286735" resolveurl="no" timeout="120" /> <cffile action="write" file="#ExpandPath('temp.xml')#" output="#cfhttp.filecontent#" /> <cfset parsed = XmlParse( ExpandPath('temp.xml') ) /> The original trouble may be that application/atom+xml mime type... and yeh, you can pass in a full file path to XmlParse too :) Dominic ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:316332 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
