Using CFHTTP to get a file

[spacehog]

I am trying to copy a file from one of our servers to another. Usually I use CFHTTP for the .csv files and have no problem. Now we have some tab delimited files that have a header on top. When I use the CFHTTP tag I get the error:

"Incorrect number of columns in row.
Please check the number of columns specified in the columns attribute and in the target file "

I never state the number of columns:

<cfhttp url = " http://..." method = "get" name="getrif" firstrowasheaders="No">

How can I copy this file over to my server?

Does this help?

<cfhttp url = " http://yourUrl/yourFile.ext" method = "get" getasbinary="yes">

<cfdump var="#ToString(cfhttp.filecontent)#" />

Thanks Hal that worked.
