Subject: retrieve remote images using cfhttp?

i am going wrong with the CFHTTP tag.
> i get a list of about 200 cars two times a week and the majority have
photos (with full url to other sites) but cant seem to figure out how to get
CFHTTP to download an image off of a remote site and save it locally to my
hard drive.

right info, and the mime type is also correct, but the filecontent makes no
sense to me whatsoever and i am unsure if i am doing this right, or if it is
even possible with the CFHTTP tag, or if i should be using some other tag,
or if i should be using something from the allaire developer exchange.
