CFHTTP

The CFHTTP tag allows you to execute POST and GET operations on files. Using CFHTTP, you can execute standard GET operations as well as create a query object from a text file. POST operations allow you to upload MIME file types to a server, or post cookie, formfield, URL, file, or CGI variables directly to a specified server.
