I'd steer well clear of cfhttp if I were you: it's crap. Notoriously slow and unreliable.This is not quite true in CFMX. CFMX uses the Sun HTTP client classes. It pretty quick etc. *but* the timeout function is broken, and there is some instability if you call it many times in a loop. I'm going to blog some of my woeful Fullasagoog.com experiences at some point.
The short story is.. if it works for you it will work really well. If you hit an issue (like I have in the timeout bug) it's a slow and painful death.
on the subject, anyone know of a good alternative to it? Like a cfx tag? calling a com object instead?I'm looking at HTTPClient. A LGPL licensed set of java class files. They work a treat on my workstation and dev box.. but I'm having some issues on production :) I'll write up my experiences once I crack this deployment issue.
There are plenty of other options -- but *most* are windows only COM or CFX solutions.

Currently I use a CFHTTP call to read and loop over the content of a text
file to insert it into the database. With CFMX I have had a few problems
with the way this works, and since I have not used CFFILE before to
perform this action, I want to know the communities thoughts on the
differences.
