I'm a great fan of the Dilbert cartoon series, so I've put together a little application to go and get the Daily Dilbert cartoon strip from the Dilbert website.

It's a simply cfc call that will get today's Dilbert cartoon and save it to a path the user has defined and passed in as an argument.

Let me know if you use it, or think of any ways of to extend it.

It is also one of the first tests I was set as a trainee 10+ years ago, so was quite an interesting comparison to write it again.

You can download it from RIAforge here: http://dilbert.riaforge.org/

Just a word of warning, you should not put this on any public facing web sites as it is copyrighted content. Take it from my experience, you WILL get a cease and desist letter.

@Daria, good point, I'm pretty sure United Media wouldn't appreciate you using this on a public facing site.

I found it quite a useful exercise in using cfhhtp, and emulating a regular browser, and forcing a several headers through the request.
