I would like to read a feed from a URL and then loop through to display on my website. Below is my code but I get an Error running this code: Connection refused by the specified host on the specified port.

Please help. Thank you.

---------------------------------------------------------

<cffeed action="read" source=" http://rssfeeds.webmd.com/rss/rss.aspx" query="myfeed">
<cfset myfeed = REReplaceNoCase (trim(myfeed), "^[^<]*", "") />

<cfoutput query = "myfeed" maxrows="6">
<a href = "#rsslink#" target="_blank">#myfeed.title#</a> <br />

</cfoutput>

I just tried it and it works fine (CF8.0.1). You do need to remove your second line of code as you can't use ReReplace on a query object. You should have this:
<cffeed action="read" source=" http://rssfeeds.webmd.com/rss/rss.aspx" query="myfeed">

<cfoutput query="myfeed" maxrows="6">
<a href="#myfeed.rsslink#" target="_blank">#myfeed.title#</a> <br />
</cfoutput>

...I JUST found out that my script works when accessed from a server but I was using it in a development environment locally on my computer and the connection was being refused there. Why won't this code work locally? Is there a setting I need to change in my administrator?

Thanks for everyones help.

Well the error kinda does explain what the problem is. Can the CF server
actually reach that URL? It would seem not.
