Coldfusion equivalent of PHP file_get_contents

I'm trying to use Coldfusion to integrate with the Wordpress API. In order to add images through the Wordpress API, you have to include the image in the body of the post call. PHP has the file_get_contents() function, which returns the image as a string, which can then be passed in the body of the call. Does Coldfusion have a similar function that will return an image as a string?

Are you interested in using cfhttp to get the file? If so, see its getasbinary attribute, then use the tag's result attribute as one way to refer to what is returned. Let us know if that helps or not.

Thanks. I had tried that previously without success, but I must have done something wrong, as I was able to get it to work this time.
