CFHTTP get as binary problems

[bigreddastud]

I'm trying to pull a series of images off a remote server for manipulation and
cfhttp won't save multiple files. The first call to save works fine, but
subsequent calls on the same page fail

<CFLOOP ... over the file list to pull >

<!--- Pull the image for manipulation & save in a temp DIR --->
<cfhttp
url = #imgURL#
method = "get"
redirect = "yes"
timeout = "30"
getasbinary = "yes"
path = "c:\Temp">
</cfhttp>
<!--- Testing only --->
<CFOUTPUT><HR>request for #imgURL# returned statusCode:
#cfhttp.statusCode#<HR></CFOUTPUT>

It looks like if you don't specify the cfhttp "file" attribute, it uses the
name of the 1st file and then just keeps overwriting that same file. Try this.

<cfhttp
url = #imgURL#
method = "get"
redirect = "yes"
timeout = "30"
getasbinary = "yes"
path = "c:\Temp"
file="#imgURL#">
</cfhttp>

Hmm.
Well, dynamically supplying the 'File' attribute in the CFHTTP call as
suggested above worked.

Funny thing is that it wasn't actually saving over the same file on
subsequent calls. If that were the case, I'd have ended up with the image in
the temp dir that didn't have the correct matching name (i.e. the last actual
image contents would be named the first image's name).

Either way, from the CFML reference, it should be saving the
cfhttp.fileContents the default of THAT CALL, not the first on the page or
loop. That's a bug IMO.

Thanks for the code tweak fix, I can work with that!
