Display Docs on Another Server

[bloise]

Greetings,

We have a request from a user that would like to create a web application. We would host the app on a server called A. The documents exist on another server (B), at another location. The database on server A, would contain a table that provides the directory structure to find the document of interest.

Is this possible to do...

Thanks for the help,
Mike

As far as I understand the question I beleive you can do that. I think you can actually use CFINCLUDE for that.

<cfinclude template = "

http://serverb.com/path/file.cfm">

It seems like a bad idea as far as requiring 2 complete page requests from 2 seperate servers... but then I'm sure you have your reasons.

No, you can't

You'd want to use cfhttp..

<cfhttp method="Get" url="...">
<cfoutput>#cfhttp.filecontent#</cfoutput>

CFINCLUDE, CFMODULE, CFFILE, etc all use paths.. They read the file into the current file.. cfhttp basically views a webpage as a browser and copies data about it and data from it into variables.
