Try a couple things: 1. urlencode your url variables 2. try using the chr() function for the ^ character

The code is like below : <CFOUTPUT> <cfhttp url="http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=^DJI&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e =.csv" method="GET" resolveurl="true"></cfhttp> #cfhttp.filecontent#<BR> <BR> <H3><B>The mime-type:</B></H3><BR> #cfhttp.mimetype#<BR> <H3><B>The Status Code:</B></H3><BR> #cfhttp.statuscode#<BR> <H3><B>The Raw Header:</B></H3><BR> #cfhttp.header#<BR> </CFOUTPUT> If I run this page, I got the following error : The requested file is not ASCII text and can not be rendered. But if I change the url into http://finance.yahoo.com , it will works... any idea why ??? Does anyone has a better idea how to get quotes, I decide to get it from yahoo, cause I don't know where I have to go to get this quotes ??? Does anyone ever do this before ??? One more thing, it causes the page really slow if I use cfhttp, any better idea beside scheduler ???
