Is there a limit to the size or amount of records that a txt file can have when using cfhttp?

There's definitely a 'practical' limit, since cfhttp (to the best of my knowledge), like a cffile read, works within RAM.  It's not difficult to totally swamp, or even crash a server using either tag if the file is big enough.  Generally, it's in the megabytes.  Depending on the server and the CPU load, it may be many megabytes.

Also be aware of the load time - as a timeout will kill the load.  Make sure you allow plenty of time in the requestTimeout.

Ive been playing with the cfhttp for awhiel and it seems that I cannot process a text fiel with more then 225 lines in it?  Has anyone else experienced this??? I guess it doesn't mater how many txt files I have I would lust prefer to just do it in one file???

Be sure if it is a large file that you include ?RequestTimeout=500 or more in order to not let CF time you out while downloading the file.

heres the link to my entire text file: http://webmaster.wsboces.org/test.cfm This doesn't work. Now, if I reduce the number of links to 225 it will work? I checker the 226th line for anything that would cause it to error and i also moved the lines around and it still appears to always break after the 225th line... any ideaS?

What does your CFHTTP code look like? What does the file that you are fetching look like? heres the link to my entire text file: http://webmaster.wsboces.org/test.cfm This doesn't work.

To answer your question about the 225 line limit, I have some legacy code reading in RTF files, some of which are 800K+, and it is handling it fine. Slow as heck, though.  like 50 seconds or so.  I am replaceing it with Perl as I go.
