If you do go the HTTP route, the two key things you will need to do is make sure you find/set any form fields appropriately (this may mean parsing the cfhttp.FileContent for values), and to check for and re-send the appropriate cookie data (to stay logged in between cfhttp requests). Once you've got those bits nicely wrapped up into functions, the rest should be pretty simple - just a matter of following the right URLs to get from login to data pages. Well, simple assuming there's no badly written pages which don't work without JavaScript. _______________________________________________ For details on ALL mailing lists and for joining or leaving lists, go to http://list.cfdeveloper.co.uk/mailman/listinfo -- CFDeveloper Sponsors:- >- cfdeveloper Hosting provided by www.cfmxhosting.co.uk -< >- Lists hosted by www.Gradwell.com -< >- CFdeveloper is run by Russ Michaels, feel free to volunteer your help -< _______________________________________________ For details on ALL mailing lists and for joining or leaving lists, go to http://list.cfdeveloper.co.uk/mailman/listinfo -- CFDeveloper Sponsors:- >- cfdeveloper Hosting provided by www.cfmxhosting.co.uk -< >- Lists hosted by www.Gradwell.com -< >- CFdeveloper is run by Russ Michaels, feel free to volunteer your help -<
