Yeah I've tried what you suggested... it doesn't work. I just get a
quicktime movie with a question mark on it.
I guess I should go get firebug and look to see what it is sending.
Everything I've found on the web has said I have to write it to the
disk. I was just trying to take advantage of the vast ammount memory
on this box and avoiding the overhead of IO.

The second approach won't work at all. The file attribute expects to point
to a file, not a variable. Try VARIABLE instead. That may be all you need.
You may want to thrown in a RESET="yes" as well, so that it will remove any
output generated in the page prior to the CFCONTENT. You ought also to turn
off debugging in that page (CFSETTING ShowDebugOutput="no".)
Also, open a new browser window before requesting the URL that does the
CFHTTP/CFCONTENT. Sometimes the browser will cache previously generated
output--even if it shows that it's new data, it may cache other headers.
Just take my word: open a new file to test when making such changes. :-)
Finally, if that still doesn't work, you need to compare what's being sent
to the browser in your approach compared to the real MP3. Use a tool like
Fiddler or Firebug to see.

Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] cfhttp retrieving a file
Hey all
I've got a page that is outputting a file (mp3 to be exact) I want to hit
that with cfhttp and output the data back to the browser as a valid mp3
file. The reason why cfhttp is calling a cfm that serves a
mp3 is that I have to simulate what the external service is going to do when
it is developed so no questions about why im doing that! ; )
I tried this:
<cfhttp url = "http://localhost/servemp3.cfm"; /> <cfset thefile =
cfhttp.fileContent > <cfcontent type = "audio/mpeg" > <CFSCRIPT>
writeOutput(toString(theFile));
</cfscript>
and i tried this:
<cfhttp url = "http://localhost/servemp3.cfm"; /> <cfcontent type =
"audio/mpeg" file="#cfhttp.fileContent#" >
