The problem with this is that some sites return a HTML 404 error, and some
just send the 404 message

You could run CFHTTP with CFTry around it, but you're relying on an awful
lot of variables

CFX_HTTP is a lot more powerful, and will do most of what you want
instinctively, but if it's not your server, then the hosts might not want to
install it...
