For example, when you build an HTML form using the Post method, you specify the name
of the page to which form data is passed. You use the Post method in the CF.http function
in a similar way. However, with the CF.http function, the page that receives the Post does not
display anything. See the following example:
function postWithParams()
{
// Set up the array of Post parameters. These are just like cfhttpparam
tags.
// This example passes formfield data to a specified URL.
params = new Array();
params[1] = {name:"Formfield1", type:"FormField", value:"George"};
params[2] = [name:"Formfield2", type:"FormField", value:"Brown"};
}
url = "http://localhost:8500/";
// Invoke CF.http with the method, url, and params
result = CF.http("post", url, params);
return result.get("Filecontent");
Using the CF.http Get method
You use the Get method to retrieve files, including text and binary files, from a specified
server. You reference properties of the object returned by the CF.http function to access
things like file content, header information, MIME type, and so on.
The following example uses the CF.http function to show a common approach to retrieving
data from the web:
// Returns content of URL defined in url variable
// This example uses positional argument style
function get()
{
url = "http://www.adobe.com/software/coldfusion/";
//Invoke with just the url argument. Get is the default.
result = CF.http(url);
return result.get("Filecontent");
}
For more information about CF.http function properties, see CF.http in CFML Reference.
