display content from another server

[Funke]

We have a site (i.e. [url]www.mysite.com[/url]) running CF MX 6.1. We have another (Linux)
server that is running a cgi (perl) blog application at another IP/URL. Is
there a way for me to serve up the blog pages from the remote server to appear
as if it's served up from my CFMX server (i.e. show the remote cgi in the
browser address bar as [url]www.mysite.com/blogs[/url]). We don't want to bog down our
server with the cgi/perl/mysql of the blog site but we want it to look like we
are still on the same site. I posted a similar question to a non-CF forum and
they suggested using fopen in php - so I'm wondering if there is a similar
function in CF or some other way to do this?

Thanks in advance for your time!

CFHTTP?

[Funke]

Thanks. I was wondering if/how I could do this with CFHTTP. I have been unable to find adequate resources, documentation, and examples of usage for CFHTTP. Any suggestions?

[Mr Black]

Perhaps, Cold Fusion documentation is a good point to start.

is THE best place/page to find information about that. I will tell you
that yes you can call in pages via cfhttp... but as far as navigating
around in the blog... i believe the links will take you to your linux
server the first time they click a link that came from the blog.

here is an example... this site.. [url]http://www.healthwork.com.au/[/url] has a links
page accessed from the News & Events menu when you enter the site. The links
page actually loads it's content from another site [url]http://www.ntmedic.com.au[/url]

the code used to include the links from the other site is as follows:

<cfhttp url="www.ntmedic.com.au/links/links.htm" method="get" resolveURL="yes">
<cfset remover = '<img
src="http://www.ntmedic.com.au:80/links/../images/links.gif" border="0">'>
<cfset content = replace(cfhttp.filecontent, remover, "")>
<cfset length = len(content)>
<cfset from = find("[", content)>
<cfset amount = length - from>
<cfset finalOutput = removechars(content, from, amount)>
<cfoutput>#finalOutput#</cfoutput>

please note, had to remove the links banner as it showed on the ntmedic site
as it didnt quite fit in on the healthwork one.

Cheers,
