CFX_HTTP5 is a great option for CF6.1 users. It's reliable, relatively cheap, allows for quite a bit of control, and asynchronous requests can be made using it: http://www.cftagstore.com/tags/cfxhttp5.cfm
When I needed to set up link checking and tie it in with our database back when only CF6 was out, I found that in the course of 3,000 requests, cfhttp wasn't reliable enough (it had errors every 300-400 requests or so) and didn't give me the control I needed. So I searched around and found this excellent tag. It's stable enough that I haven't changed over now that we've upgraded to CF7. Good luck, -Lyle >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/10/05 7:16 PM >>> Hi everyone, I'm using cfhttp to request data from an external interface. It takes roughly 40/45 seconds but as the data increases the time taken will also increase. It's an ideal situation use Coldfusion 7's Async Gatway but unfortunately the app is running on MX 6.1. Is it possible to do Asynchronous requests in Mx 6.1 and if so how? Any ideas appreciated.
