The GetHttpRequestData is designed to get header information and the numeric code returned. There is an example of it working in the CFMX 7 livedocs site: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=00000482.htm If that does not meet your needs. The other way I know of getting that type of info would be through a Servlet. If you either feel adventurous or are pretty decent with Java you could code a custom tag in Java. If I remember correctly, the custom tag uses both the http request and response methods, between the two you should be able to get the custom tag to return whatever code you are looking for. --JW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:322204 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
