The code I pasted in didn't appear in my original reply; here goes again...
------------------------------------------
Thanks, Paul. Here is the output I'm getting. The first few lines are me
checking to see if the http request was successful (200=yes); 69 is the
length of the file being returned; MIME type unknown (???); and then me
trying to print the cfhttp.filecontent in a variety of ways. The rest is the
output from your code. Any ideas on why I'm getting the "not ASCII test"
message, or what I can do about it? Is there some way to make CF think it's
getting ASCII text (b/c I _know_ the xml coming is really is ASCII!!!)?
Much thanks,
James

Adding to my previous post (if you can understand the code) here is my idea
of what you should do. Just cut and paste it into a cfm file and run it.
Paul
-----------------code-----------------
<cfset myStruct = StructNew()>
<cfset myStruct.blah = "This is fun isn't it!">
<cfwddx action="CFML2WDDX" input="#myStruct#" output="mywddx">
<cfset xml = StructNew()>
<cfoutput>
#Replace(Replace(mywddx, "<", "<", "all"), ">", "><br>", "all")#
</cfoutput>
<cfscript>
xmlpacket = mywddx;
xml.root = StructNew();
xml.root.namestart = Find("<", xmlpacket, 1) + 1;
xml.root.nameend = REFind("(>| )", xmlpacket, xml.root.namestart);
temp_count = xml.root.nameend - xml.root.namestart;
xml.root.name = Mid(xmlpacket, xml.root.namestart, temp_count);
xml.root.datastart = Find(">", xmlpacket, xml.root.namestart) + 1;
xml.root.dataend = Find("</" & xml.root.name & ">", xmlpacket,
xml.root.datastart);
temp_count = xml.root.dataend - xml.root.datastart;
xml.root.data = Mid(xmlpacket, xml.root.datastart, temp_count);
</cfscript>
<h3>Data</h3>
<cfoutput>
<cfloop list="#StructKeyList(xml.root)#" index="i">
<b>xml.root.#Lcase(i)#</b>: #Replace(Replace(Evaluate("xml.root." &
i), "<", "<", "all"), ">", "><br>", "all")#<br>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
