I have to log into a form before I can go to the page I want. Is there any way to amintain the session across multiple cfhttp requests? I go to the first page and get logged in with no problems.

    cfhttp gives you access to the cookies generated by the request. You just need to get the login page, grab the cookie(s) used for keeping the session and send the cookie(s) back on subsequent requests.

    JohnEric, do you have an example of how to do that?

    The following will allow your cfhttp call to share the same session as your calling template:

    <cfhttp URL="foo.cfm" method="get">
    <cfhttpparam type="cookie" name="cftoken" value="#session.CFToken#">
    <cfhttpparam type="cookie" name="cfid" value="#session.cfid#">
    </cfhttp>

    HTH.

    You could always code your own "session" within the variable page requests/output and append it to subquent CHTTP requests. That way you just pass whatever you generate in each "page" to the CFHTTP.

    eg:
    <cfset sessionvar = SomerandomizedTimeString>

    <cfhttp url=" http://www.url.com?mysession=sessionvar>

    Just keep appending this value -- would that work?

    You may need to use a custom tag like cfx_http5 to maintain sessions
