That's an "up to you". I always set a timeout for CFHTTP calls, and that value should be shorter than your maximum template timeout. Then you can do up to a couple of retries, but definitely limit that number. If it is something important, you can always trigger an email if all tries timeout. But be sure to keep a counter on that as well, so that you're not spamming yourself.

It’s mostly working, but I get an error, of course, whenever the remote server is inaccessible. I know about CFTRY/CFCATCH, but I’m wondering about what’s the best practice for handling this type of error. 1. In CFCATCH, do I just try again? 2. Or, do I have to save the data and remember to re-submit it later? 3. Is there a better way? Thanks for any ideas!
