Have XML data that you need to work with? Pass it to the XMLParse() function and get back a ColdFusion structure that you can use like any other structure. (Applies to: ColdFusion MX)

ColdFusion 5 introduced business graphing via a new tag. ColdFusion MX has enhanced and improved these graphing capabilities using a new tag named . is still supported to provide backwards compatibility, but in the future should be used. (Applies to: ColdFusion MX)
ColdFusion MX features an integrated HTTP server (which is designed for development, not for production servers). This HTTP server is usually on port 8500, so any URL's pointing to the internal HTTP server must include this port number. (Applies to: ColdFusion MX)
By default retrieves mail on port 110. To use a non-standard port specify the port number in the PORT attribute. (Applies to: ColdFusion 4 or later)
The SMTP server used by is defined server-wide in the ColdFusion Administrator. This server may be overridden as needed using the SERVER attribute. (Applies to: ColdFusion 4 or later)
uses the standard SMTP port of 25 by default. If an alternate port is used then it must be explicitly provided in the PORT attribute. (Applies to: ColdFusion 4 or later)
can be used to retrieve HTTP requests, either text or binary data. To determine the type of data retrieved examine its MIME type which is stored in CFHTTP.MIMEType. (Applies to: ColdFusion 5 or later)
requests return HTTP data as well as HTTP response headers. To access returned response headers use CFHTTP.ResponseHeader, this is a CFML structure with the header name as the key. (Applies to: ColdFusion 5 or later)
Most operations return queries but some return values (getting directory names or checking for file existence, for example). In these situations the value returned by will be available as CFFTP.ReturnValue. (Applies to: ColdFusion 4 or later)
is used to programmatically send files to and from FTP servers. Unlike most other ColdFusion operations, files and directories in are case-sensitive (as this is how most FTP servers function). (Applies to: ColdFusion 4 or later)
