RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Error Handling for CFHTTP
Thanks for your suggestions Shawn. I'll look into your timeout ideas!

I always set a timeout for CFHTTP calls, and that value should be shorter than your maximum template timeout. Then you can do up to a couple of retries, but definitely limit that number. If it is something important, you can always trigger an email if all tries timeout. But be sure to keep a counter on that as well, so that you're not spamming yourself. _ From: Clarke Bishop To: discussion@acfug.org Sent: Tuesday, December 9, 2008 9:58:10 AM Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] Error Handling for CFHTTP I am doing some CFHTTP post to another server.
