Isn't that basically how asynchronous gateways are handled though, Chris?
In essence you kind of just lob it over the fence and hope it does its
thing.  You can of course build pieces into your application to check the
success/failure downstream and take whatever action need.  It sounds,
however, that you will be interested in hearing the <cfthread/> discussion
by Josh next week!

 Hmm.... I'd never heard of that before, and while it sounds cool, it also
sounds a bit flaky. Do you ever get control of that child process again, or
does it just go off into never-never land? Meaning, if there's ever an error
with that child process, will you ever be notified? Can you ever have that
child process return data to the main application? I don't think I would use
it, but I'm interested in the opinion of some of the more experienced guru's
out there. :o)

Cheers,
Chris

It appears that CFHTTP can be used to send off a request asynchronously by
setting the timeout value to 1 sec. CF will return connection time data to
the parent page but the child request will still run up until the CF admin
timeout value.

The question: Am I crazy for building on top of such a "feature"? Anyone
used this before?
