I just ran a quick test using CF2021 connecting to UPS homepage (to a 302): CFX_HTTP5: 148ms; 91ms; 87ms CFHTTP: 497ms; 203ms; 189ms Microsoft homepage: 500 error using either method (weird) Accessing CFDOCS.org (200 OK): CFX: 81; 60; 27; 36; 24 CFHTTP: 73; 63; 75; 61; 55 It appears to still be faster. I like that it can ignore SSL errors and doesn't cache DNS lookups eternally. (This was causing a problem when using CFHTTP with cloud-based API servers with dynamic IP addresses.) Let me know if there's anything specific that you want compared.
