The problem with this is that some sites return a HTML 404 error, and some just send the 404 message You could run CFHTTP with CFTry around it, but you're relying on an awful lot of variables CFX_HTTP is a lot more powerful, and will do most of what you want instinctively, but if it's not your server, then the hosts might not want to install it...

Re: Quick CFHTTP Question
I believe 4.51+ has more ability to read headers of CFHTTP.. Lets see... Ah, not sure what version this showed up in, but the help for CFHTTP in studio says: CFHTTP.ResponseHeader(http_hd_key) - so this looks like a struct of the headers CFHTTP.Header - the raw header text CFHTTP.StatusCode - the response code by itself. Good luck! Gregory Harris wrote: > > Hello all! Currently I'm using CFHTTP to call a header externally.

RE: Quick CFHTTP Question
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Greg, I'm not to sure what you're trying to do but I'll take a wack at it. It sounds like you're getting an error when you do a CFHTTP and the server in question returns a 404. Can you just check the contents of the cfhttp.filecontent variable to see if it contains 404 or some message like that? If you need access to the raw headers, I'd recommend, or .
