Two possibilities:
1. Doesn't CF throw a timeout/abort error if the page is cancelled before
it's finished?
2. (Sneaky one this) use the 'web bug' idea - add an <IMG> tag at the end of
the source, after the roster info with the SRC pointing to a CF script that
logs the request and returns an invisible 1x1 gif. No client side scripting
or frames to worry about, your only problem would be people turning off
images in the browser.
