I usually just do a cfdump of the cfhttp variable. If you aren't getting what you expect then you've either got the wrong url or are not passing something correctly. You may need to be grabbing a cookie from an earlier landing page and passing that back as part of the cfhttp request. And depending on what type of web server the site is on that cookie may need to be appended to the url (;jsessionid=xyz).
I've been going rounds with various cfhttp calls too and am about to post my own question regarding getting pdfs... Stay tuned. :) -Matt > I'll include the whole get-go here and see if anyone sees anything > else.
