There are about 100 machines that need to be updated. I can screen scrape ANY other site (well the numerous ones ive tried) but not Dell's, not even http://www.dell.com/ The specific URL I am using is:http://support.dell.com/support/topics/glo...vicetag=8gmjt31 Do you have any idea what is preventing me from scraping dell's site? Here's my code: CODE <cfset strURL="http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/my_systems_info/details?c=us&l=en&s=gen&servicetag=8gmjt31"/> <cfhttp url="#strURL#" method="get" resolveurl="yes"/> <cfset Page = #cfhttp.FileContent#> <cfoutput>#Page#</cfoutput> I get a "Connection Failed" error as the output of #Page# This post has been edited by fremgenc: 5 May, 2009 - 10:34 AM
