You need to CFHTTP the feed your after. Don't grab the WDDX version but the
ColdFusion WDDX version. They've created a separate feed to "overcome a bug
in ColdFusion." I'm not exactly sure to what they're referring, but oh well.
Here's some code from a site I'm working on right now site. I had to
condense it a little since I actually store the news feed in the Application
scope and only refresh the query every hour. Hope this helps.
By the way, a custom tag was recently added to the Allaire Tag Gallery for
just this purpose. It probably simplifies the code substantially.
<cfhttp
url="http://p.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?index_health+cf"
method="GET"
resolveurl="false">
</cfhttp>
<cfwddx
action="WDDX2CFML"
input="#CFHTTP.FileContent#"
output="qry_GetHealthNews">
<h1>Health News</h1>
<div style="margin-left:25px;">
<cfoutput query="qry_GetHealthNews">
<div style="margin-left:25px; width:300px;">
<p>
<div style="font-weight:bold;"><a
href="#URL#">#Headline_Text#</a></div>
<div class="SmSans"><a
href="#Document_URL#">#Source#</a> -
#DateFormat(Harvest_Time, "dddd mmmm d yyyy")#</div>
</p>
</div>
</cfoutput>
</div>

Subject: Moreover.com Categories List via WDDX
Good Morning,
Is anyone out there grabbing the list of categories from Moreover.com using
WDDX? I have been grabbing individual headlines using it, but their example
page of using CF for grabbing the categories is blank. If you are doing
this (grabbing the complete category list via WDDX), would you be willing to
share the code?
Thanks,
Dave
