Terminate CFHTTP POST operations with </CFHTTP>. Termination is not required with CFHTTP GET operations.
URL
Required. Full URL of the host name or IP address of the server on which the file resides.
PORT
Optional. The port number on the server from which the object is being requested. Default is 80. When used with RESOLVEURL, the URLs of retrieved documents that specify a port number are automatically resolved to preserve links in the retrieved document.
METHOD
Required. GET or POST. Use GET to download a text or binary file, or to create a query from the contents of a text file. Use POST to send information to a server page or a CGI program for processing. POST requires the use of a CFHTTPPARAM tag.
USERNAME
Optional. When required by a server, a valid username.
PASSWORD
Optional. When required by a server, a valid password.
NAME
Optional. The name to assign to a query when a query is to be constructed from a file.
COLUMNS
Optional. The column names for a query. If no column names are specified, defaults to the columns listed in the first row of a text file.
PATH
Optional. The path to the directory in which a file is to be stored. If a path is not specified in a POST or GET operation, a variable is created (CFHTTP.FileContent) that you can use to present the results of the POST operation in a CFOUTPUT.
FILE
Required in a POST operation if PATH is specified. The filename to be used for the file that is accessed. For GET operations, defaults to the name specified in URL. Enter path information in the PATH attribute.
DELIMITER
Required for creating a query. Valid characters are a tab or comma. Default is a comma ( , ).
TEXTQUALIFIER
Required for creating a query. Indicates the start and finish of a column. Should be appropriately escaped when embedded in a column. For example, if the qualifier is a quotation mark, it should be escaped as """". If there is no text qualifier in the file, specify a blank space as " ". Default is the quote mark ( " ).
RESOLVEURL
Optional. Yes or No. Default is No. For GET and POST operations, when Yes, any page reference returned into the FileContent internal variable will have its internal URLs fully resolved, including port number, so that links remain intact. The following HTML tags, which can contain links, will be resolved:
- IMG SRC
- A HREF
- FORM ACTION
- APPLET CODE
- SCRIPT SRC
- EMBED SRC
- EMBED PLUGINSPACE
- BODY BACKGROUND
- FRAME SRC
- BGSOUND SRC
- OBJECT DATA
