Hello Yves, 1) Just thinking out loud, but are you sure that you can connect to the proxy url (http://myproxy/cgi-bin/mro/perlFile.pl, in your example) from the ColdFusion MX7 server? Have you tried using cfexec to ping the proxy from within a cf page? Have you tried using cfexec and wget to see if you can get the url via http? This will eliminate the possibility of a lower level (network) snafu causing problems.
2) have you tried using the various proxy* attributes of the cfhttp tag? In this scenario, you would have a tag that looked more like : <CFHTTP METHOD="POST" URL="http://cgiserver/cgi-bin/mro/perlFile.pl" proxyServer="myproxy" result="strXMLFile"> <cfhttpparam name="strOutputTo" type="formfield" value="Screen"> <cfhttpparam name="strCurrentUrl" type="formfield" value="http://cfmServer/cfmFile.cfm"> <cfhttpparam name="strMasterDwg" type="formfield" value="123445"> <cfhttpparam name="strMasterRev" type="formfield" value="D"> <cfhttpparam name="strDwgInRev" type="formfield" value="REVISION"> <cfhttpparam name="strToolNumbers" type="formfield" value="123445"> <cfhttpparam name="strDwgServer" type="formfield" value="wwt"> <cfhttpparam name="strOverlay" type="formfield" value="FALSE"> </CFHTTP> .... with maybe some other attributes like proxyPort, proxyUser, etc. defined. /t ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
