CFWDDX and CFHTTP

[Sarky78]

Right I have got an XML file that has been created using CFWDDX CFML2WDDX, when I try to read this file back in using CFFILE Read the file is read, displayed and inserted into a test database in the required fields. When however I try to use CFHTTP to read the file contents, I get an error (and this is a real helpful one!) "unknown element encountered" this error indicates the CFWDDX line of the code. Like I said this only happens when I use CFHTTP, I need to use this obviously to connect to a remote server. Anyone got any ideas ?

What does your CFHTTP code look like? - tleish

Its OK now I have sorted the problem, it appears that CFHTTP can't read a file with an extension of .xml as I did an output on the CFHTTP.filecontent and it returned something like "file is not a ASCII file", changed it to .txt and it worked fine. This is the code that I am using anyway ! thanks again !
