You’ve answered your own question – use CFHTTP.
You’ll see that myResult struct contains “Responseheader” struct with “Status_Code” field in it. It will contain the numeric status code.
If you don’t need numeric you can just use myResult.Statuscode – returns something like “200 OK”.
If the url will be incorrect or there will be some issues with reaching the target, the “Responseheader” will be empty.
Addendum after the comment:
If you want to know the redirect location after 301 use CFHTTP with trace or options as method.
The result should contain the “Status_Code” as above as well as “Location” – the url to redirect to.
