The server that the CFHTTP call is running from might not have DNS
available. If you're CFHTTP call is pointing to a domain name (i.e.
www.amazon.com) rather than an IP address (i.e. 198.24.182.3 - made that
up), the server issuing the CFHTTP call has to be correctly configured to
use DNS in order to resolve the www.amazon.com into the IP address. Without
it, ColdFusion will never make a connection to the page and, if you haven't
set a timeout on the CFHTTP call, will permanently jam one of your "running
request" slots in CF.
Hope this helps,
Tyson

What could cause this using CFHTTP when I can go to the URL directly
in my browser?
Thanks,
