cfhttp with a get to download the files. Does anyone have an example of cfhttp working? Are there special settings that need to be set up on the server side to get this tag to work. When I try the following code:

<CFHTTP
    METHOD = "get"
    URL="http://data.bls.gov/PDQ/servlet/SurveyOutputServlet?series_id=LNU04032231&years_option=specific_years&to_year=2010&from_year=2009&delimiter=comma&output_view&output_format=excelTable"
    path="/Users/Deepak" 
    file="testfile.xls">

Nothing comes back to my computer? How do you get it to pop up the "where do you want to save the file box" dialogue box?

I am submitting a form in coldfusion by hitting this link http://data.bls.gov/PDQ/servlet/SurveyOutputServlet?series_id=LNU04032231&years_option=specific_years&to_year=2010&from_year=2009&delimiter=comma&output_view&output_format=excelTable I am getting a excel file as a result. How can I save this file on my local box. Or, is it possible to directly read the content of file without saving it in my local box through coldfusion using cfftp or cfhttp?

cfhttp.mimeType is application/vnd.ms-excel in this case. Thanks!!
