CF.http 1105
Usage
You can write the CF.http function using named arguments or positional arguments. You can
invoke all supported arguments using the named argument style, as follows:
CF.http({method:"method", url:"URL", username:"username", password:"password",
resolveurl:"yes or no", params:arrayvar,
path:"path", file:"filename"});
Note: The named argument style uses curly braces {} to surround the function arguments.
Positional arguments let you use a shorthand coding style. However, not all arguments are
supported for the positional argument style. Use the following syntax to code the
CF.http
function using positional arguments:
CF.http(url);
CF.http(method, url);
