Hmmm... this has drifted away from the origional thread a bit... all I'm after are ideas, techniques, etc for debugging CFHTTP.
I'm trying to script the submitting of (many) new datasources to the CF administrator. so far I've got a try/catch block over each section and I'm trying to read the cfhttp.FileContent (which returns "Connection Failure" - which means what exactly?) to see what's happening. What else can I do? for more info (inc the code I'm using) please see my post yesterday thanx all cheers barry.b -----Original Message----- From: Geoff Bowers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 26 June 2003 11:40 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: debugging CFHTTP I'd have to say post updater 3 on CFMX that the CFHTTP tag is actually quite usable. It's true that earlier iterations of CFHTTP had issues. But I call hundreds of blog feeds a day on Fullasagoog all using CFHTTP to great effect. I guess ultimately it depends on what you need it for. Prior to updater three I used to use HTTPClient, an open source java class library. -- geoff http://www.daemon.com.au/ Daniel Morphett wrote: > Depends on what you're trying to do. > > I understand that web services in cfmx are a bit better, so you may want to > look at using them if you use that server for your cf. > > If what you want to do doesn't rely on contacting other sites, you may want > to store the info on a local db and use it. > > If it does, then you may want to replicate the data across and then use the > local version. > > If you really can't do without it, but can stand some latency, then try > doing a call every hour, storing the result locally, and using the local > version for your site. > > Then there are non-cf solutions that may work better: wget is one. > > If you post what you are trying to do, I could maybe be more helpful. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 4:51 PM > To: CFAussie Mailing List > Subject: [cfaussie] RE: debugging CFHTTP > > > On Thu, Jun 26, 2003 at 04:07:25PM +1000, Daniel Morphett wrote: > > >>if you want your code to be reliable, don't use cfhttp > > > What would you recommend in place of it, then? > > > Paul Haddon > Technical Services Manager > Formstar Print Technologies > > > --- > You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To unsubscribe send a blank email to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/ > > > > --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/ --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/
