Hey Calvin,
You've got the right idea, heres the final touch. Set the CFHTTP TIMEOUT="1"
so the request immediately times out! The the user doesn't wait around for
the response, it just sends it off and goes on with its processing 1 second
later. This works especially well with CFM pages since the ColdFusion engine
will continue processing a request even if the client times out (ASP and PHP
pages have the ability to stop processing).
Hope that helps,
Jordan
