A contractor has provided us with survey data for a set of stores. The data contains the store numbers, thumbnail images and large images. The data is accessed through the contractor’s secured website. In order to build a report for the data, I am trying to scrape the store numbers and images from the site instead of manually downloading each image.

I have not used CFhttp for secured sites, but have had a little success so far with:

<cfhttp 
    method="post" 
    url="http://www.website.com/impart/client_login.php"
    throwonerror="Yes"
    redirect = "yes"
    resolveUrl = "yes">

    <cfhttpparam name="user" value="myUsername" type="formfield">
    <cfhttpparam name="pass" value="myPassword" type="formfield">
    <cfhttpparam name="submit" value="Login" type="formfield">

How do I proceed from getting passed the authentication to the page that contains the image to download?

    What does the dump of cfhttp scope look like? Specifically, what is the status code?

    If you get a status code of 200, you’ll need to maintain the session as you grab each image. See the following:

    See this question for saving images via CFHTTP:
