Your code worked just fine for me.

Put <cfoutput>#cfhttp.fileContent#</cfoutput> before the cfset line.

Yahoo often has throttles and limiters on their services like this. If
you exceed these thresholds you do not get the expected xml object but
instead you just get some type of error message.

<cfhttp url=" http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeeds/1081479906.cms" method="get">
<cfoutput>#cfhttp.fileContent#</cfoutput>
<cfset objRSS = xmlParse(Trim(cfhttp.filecontent))>

Now it is giving "Connection Failure", I tried with few RSS feeds but it gives the same error.

coldfusion.xml.XmlProcessException: An error occured while Parsing an XML document.
