If you're using CF 4.5, you can reference CFHTTP.Header, which is the entire HTTP response header. You can also reference CFHTTP.ResponseHeader, which is a structure which contains each individual header; if there are any duplicate lines, the structure member for that header will contain an array which contains the values for each line.

Yes, you would have to use a CFX tag, like CFX_HTTP (http://www.fsc.follett.com/cf/cfx_http/) it returns Headers __ Pete Freitag CFDEV.COM Cold Fusion Developer Resources http://www.cfdev.com/ -Original Message- From: Seth Petry-Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2000 2:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 404 checking >In the HTTP protocol a 404 Error is returned in the header, your return >might look like this...

RE: 404 checking
In the HTTP protocol a 404 Error is returned in the header, your return might look like this... HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2000 07:46:15 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) (Red Hat/Linux) Connection: close Content-Type: text/html 404 Not Found Not Found The requested URL /ha.ge was not found on this server.

Obviously, you will need to use CFHTTP to connect to all the links, but that's where things get hairy. Since many sites customize their 404 error pages, determining whether the resulting CFHTTP content represents a 404 error or not is very difficult. You could probably loop through all of the links and flag those that may be 404 errors and then have an employee manually check them. This would give you the greatest degree of certainty but would also cost manpower.
