I have done some work with CFHTTP... This might help point you in the right direction:
Ask Ben: CFHttp For Web Mining And Image Hot Linking http://www.bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=blog:134.view Image Hot Linking Work-Around (Full Demo) http://www.bennadel.com/snippets/13-Image-Hot-Linking-Work-Around-Full-Demo- ..htm This will help get you one image at a time via CF... However, it can't get you a list of file names unless there are links. If there are links though, I am sure there are even better Desktop solutions like Offline Explorer than can "browser" a site and safe all the content to a folder on your computer. .......................

So the situation is that we MAY be able to get the data we are after, but the way they store images causes us a problem. The images are stored in the file system and the data contains file names. So even if we get the data we don't have the macthing files. We can of course reproduce the URL that the images reside at. So does anyone have an automated method of grabbing those images form a remote URL and saving them to our server's file system? I honsetly can't think of whether or not this is doable via CFHTTP...it's been so long since I used it. Anyways...thanks in advance for any bright ideas. I'm swamped right now and creative thinking is eluding me ;-) Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
