I am currently writing a piece of ColdFusion code to dynamically generate a page which is subsequently saved as flat HTML. Orginally I tried (and succeeded) using the cffile tag to write a huge string (the contents of the dynamically created page) to a file. However this is a very fiddley method to generate flat HTML as to generate the huge content string I had to use many &lt;cfset html = html &amp;&nbsp;&quot;blah&quot;&gt; tags. Consequently any change to the format of the page results in a complicated task of a lot of these &lt;cfset html = ...&gt; tags.<br />
<br />
A simpler method to generate the flat HTML would be to &quot;grab&quot; the HTML page output from the ColdFusion server and save that to a file. Therefore, I would like to know if it is possible to redirect the page output from the ColdFusion Server to a given file instead of the browser. If this is possible, how is it done?

Page output redirection from ColdFusion Server

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

Web Servers

Web development software is used to create websites for both the Internet and intranets. Software can be either locally installed or operated through a cloud interface, and ranges in complexity from simple text editors to full-fledged integrated development environments (IDEs) that include graphics, video, audio, scripting and database support.
