I'm trying to pass the results (2 lines of text) of a url to a variable without directing the browser to that url.
I'm working with a university system that has a central authentication system. You can force users to login by directing them to something like http://secureserver?url=yourwebsite. Once users login it redirects back to your page and you receive a url ticket, which you then have to verify with the server through a url such as http://secureserver/verify?ticket=url.variable&website=yourwebsite. The response of the server is to the browser. It's either simply 1 line "no" or 2 lines "yes" and on the second line "username" where username is the authenticated user's username. So, to my original question, is there a way I can save this 1 or 2 line response to a variable without directing the browser there? I would love something as easy as a cfset, but I have no idea how you would basically set the results of a URL as a variable. I would settle for being able to save the results as a text file or inserting them into a database and querying it back. But I can't simply use a cflocation because then the user sees the results and is not directed back to my website. I am, of course, checking with university services, but CF is not their favorite tool. Any help is appreciated!
