The problem may be that you've got some HTML tags between your CFHEADER and CFCONTENT tags. When you're generating output with non-HTML MIME types, you have to be careful not to include anything that doesn't belong in your output - even things like carriage returns and spaces can make a difference sometimes. So, you might rewrite this as: <cfsetting showdebugoutput="false"> <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; filename=#URL.ca#"> <cfcontent type="application/unknown" file="#URL.ca#" deletefile="no"> Also, for debugging purposes, you might simply try running the file in your browser first. It's useful to break problems down into smaller pieces, and this is especially true when debugging CFHTTP problems.
