jdeline,
Thanks, very nice! It looks like it will do what I want.
Before I hop on board with this approach though (especially since I
am on CF 6 and they warn that this might not "always" work on CF 6,
and they can't explain or figure out why), I wanted to ask about
the CF 7 asynchronous gateways. I wanted to know because it looks
like it would be fairly trivial to modify my CFC into gateways, and
then I could invoke them in order (umm, or whatever CF7 refers to
this as, I'm still on 6.1
. The CFC store the data in server session
variables, so using this method would still allow me to access the
data these would create (I think). The major issue with cfhttp as I
see it (and the one the excellent tool you posted fixes) seems to
be less to do with the underlying speed of execution of the JAVA
code that cfhttp runs on, but the fact that it can't be
asynchronously invoked/called, correct? If that is so, wouldn't
using asynch gateways solve my problem (well, and upgrading to CF 7
to get at them, but I'm looking at some other cool gateway
integrations already as well...)? Has anyone had a chance to do any
comparison between using cf7 asynch gateway for asynchronous cfhttp
retrieval versus CFX_HTTP5? I hope the performance difference is
small to none, because recoding for gateways will be a lot quicker
and cleaner than recoding for CFX_HTTP5 (especially for grabbing
and sorting cookie data, and then passing it back, which all these
sites require and there is the one that does about 8 cookie
handshakes- gack!)
