I ran that code locally and it returns the RSS feed perfectly using CF 10. Which version are you using? Are you running it locally? — Adrian J. Moreno, Dec 18 '19 at 16:45
It looks like you got a 404 error. (Maybe switch the user agent as the default "ColdFusion" may be blocked.) Have you considered using the built-in CFFEED tag?https://cfdocs.org/cffeed — James Moberg, Dec 18 '19 at 17:22

Your existing code works fine as-is. You're getting a 404 issue that I'm not getting. The suggestions of the header would be valid if I wasn't using the same header and didn't get a 404. Can you reach that URL in your browser? Maybe the site has blocked you for some reason?

Using James' suggestion of <cffeed> makes it easier. It converts the XML to a struct that is easier to parse.

<cffeed source="https://architechsfortheweb.com/blogfeed/" name="xFeed" />
<cfdump var="#xFeed#">
