<form action = "HTMLcodeformat.cfm" method = "POST">
Try entering a URL for the tag to return in HTMLCodeFormat
and HTMLEditFormat:
<input type = "Text" size = 25 name = "urladdress"
value = "http://www.allaire.com">
<input type = "Submit" name = "" value = "get page">
</FORM>
<!--- sets a default value for a url to retrieve --->
<CFPARAM name = "urladdress" DEFAULT = "http://localhost/cfdocs/index.htm">
<!--- if we have passed a url address in the FORM, we
want to display the passed address --->
<cfif IsDefined("FORM.urladdress") is True>
<!--- do simple error check to avoid crashing the tag --->
<cfif Trim(Form.urladdress) is "" or Trim(Form.urladdress) is "http://">
<!--- if error condition tripped, set alternative --->
<cfset urlAddress = "http://localhost/cfdocs/index.htm">
<H4>because you entered no url or an empty string, the tag
will return the following address: http://localhost/cfdocs/index.htm</H4>
<cfelse>
<!--- otherwise use address passed from form --->
<cfset urlAddress = FORM.urladdress>
</cfif>
<!--- now use the CFHTTP tag to get the file content
represented by urladdress --->
<CFHTTP URL = "#urladdress#"
method = "GET"
RESOLVEURL = YES>
</CFHTTP>
<cfelse>
<!--- the first time through, retrieve a URL that we know exists --->
<CFHTTP URL = "http://localhost/cfdocs/index.htm"
method = "GET"
RESOLVEURL = YES>
</CFHTTP>
</cfif>
<!--- Now, output the file, including the mimetype and content --->
<H3>Show the file</H3>
<cfoutput>
