I'm trying to convert an image (jpg) loaded via cfhttp
to binary data. I can't use cffile action="readBinary"
as it is not a local file.

I've done the following which seems to work:
<cfhttp url="http://foo.com/someImage.jpg" method="get" timeout="3" result="resp">
</cfhttp>
<cfreturn resp.fileContent.toByteArray() />

Here's how I handle this, and I use this to grab and process hundreds of images a day with ColdFusion 8.
<cfhttp
timeout="45"
throwonerror="false"
url="http://domain/image.jpg"
method="get"
useragent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12"
getasbinary="yes"
result="local.objGet"
>
<cfset local.objImage = ImageNew(local.objGet.FileContent)>
Once you have the image object you can then do whatever you want with it. Save it to disk, resize, you name it :). I've obviously left out all of my error checking (200 status codes, is it an image, etc), but this should get yous started.
