I have a database with thousands of urls and needed a way to check the
status of them. Previously I had a scheduled event that ran my cfm template
that did basically what yours does but using CFX_HTTP. The problem I ran
into was that on some URL's the template would stop processing further but
not throw an error.
I worked around this by writing a CFX tag that would time out the http
thread if it didn't get a response within a set time.
I think your template is taking a very long time for the same reason.

Subject: checking whether sites are available
I have a database of a few hundred sites. I'd like to use CF to
automatically check to see whether the sites are up so I don't have to do it
by hand. The solution I came up with is to use cfhttp.statuscode to check
whether the site is up. I loop through the list and update the database
accordingly. My code works, but it takes forever. Two questions:
1) Is there a way I can break the site list into chunks, and have the
template check the statuscode of 20 sites at a time instead of all of them?
I recall someone suggesting this solution for sending thousands of emails
with CFMAIL, but I couldn't find that post in the archives.
2) Is there a better way of doing this instead of cfhttp.statuscode?
Thanks for any assistance.
