> Can this be done using CF5 as opposed to MX? You can generate XML with CF 5 by either generating raw text that happens to be well-formed XML, or by using a third-party XML parser to generate XML for you.

Not stupid or wrong but certainly possible - the touch screen can contain a link to a ColdFusion template which generates an XML document.

RE: Coldfusion and XML
look @ to create the xml. maybe look @ cfhttp to make the call to the server to get the xml generated? maybe look @ using a cfmx webservice, and have the browser on the touch screen make a request to the webservice. some ideas? tony -Original Message- From: David Ashworth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 9:27 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Coldfusion and XML Forgive me if this is a very stupid question or in some way wrong, However, I think I need to send an XML feed back to a client from the server, the client machine is a touch screen that will remotely make a call to, I think, a file on our webserver that will run a query on the database and return the results - which I believe have to be in the form of an XML Feed.

Does > anyone know how to decode an encoded xml page? By default, when you submit an HTML form with METHOD="POST", the data sent to the server is URL-encoded. Basically, any characters not allowed in a URL are escaped with their corresponding escape sequences. Spaces, for example, are replaced with plus signs or "%20". Normally, the server can easily decode that, so you don't have to worry about it. XML contains lots of stuff you can't put in a URL, and I imagine CF is simply getting confused about how to decode it. There's an IE-specific character encoding issue described here: http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200305/msg01144.html You do have some options, though. One option would be to use the GetHTTPRequestData function to return a structure containing the various parts of the HTTP request, and go through the "content" key and manually decode characters as appropriate. Another option might be to specify ENCTYPE="text/xml" instead of using the default ENCTYPE="application/x-www-urlencoded" within your HTML form tag. I will note that I don't know how well either of these options would work, but that's where I'd start if I were you.
