cfhttp 'internal server error' with Flickr feed

[cf_rog]

Hi all, I am trying to cfhttp 'get' a Flickr feed URL, but am seeing 'internal server error'.

The code is

<cfhttp url="http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=flickr_userID" method="GET" resolveURL="yes"></cfhttp>

<cfscript>

    Content = trim(cfhttp.filecontent);

    Content = XMLParse(Content);

</cfscript>

where the flickr_userID parameter has the format nnnnnnnn@Lnn   (ie 8 digits plus @ symbol plus capital letter plus 2 digits).

At first I thought the problem arose from needing to add 'resolveURL = "yes"' to the cfhttp call, but adding this did not resolve.

So is there perhaps an issue with the encoding of the id parameter?

Any advice much appreciated thanks,

Think I've found the answer.   The default format for Flickr feeds is Atom, you have to add a 'format' parameter to the URL to specify other formats.

I tried changing the URL to

http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=flickr_userID&format=rss2

and this has resolved the 'internal server error'.

Guess I should have read this page more closely
