> Anyone got any resources on building up HTTP requests?

Sure, there are lots of things you can look at for this.

First, the best thing to look at is what your browser does when it submits
an HTTP request. You can do this pretty easily with a recording proxy:

Stretch:
http://www.kestral.com.au/devtools/stretch/

HttpSniffer (requires Perl):
http://www.schmerg.com/code.asp

To use these, you point them to a target URL and run them, then point your
browser at the running proxy. The proxy will pass your HTTP request to the
target URL, pass the response back to your browser, and write some or all of
the HTTP request and response to file or screen.

Second, you might look at the HTTP RFCs:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/

Third, if you're running CF 5, you can use the GetHTTPRequestData function
to read the HTTP request headers and body from a browser request, to see
what they look like.
