Never seen that one before. But here's a shot in the dark. Any chance you're trying to connect to a secure url (https)? There is a known issue where cfhttp does not support certain implementations and therefore the certificate gets rejected. You could try using CFHTTP5 at the tag store. They have a free eval version so you can at least test to see if it fixes the problem.

There is a WINDOWS 2003, IIS 6.0 and ColdFusion 8 is on the server. Right now if I have to make any CFHTTP call from the server to my client URL (assume client URL is hosted to anywhere in the world) I must need to add that remote URL entry in server HOSTS file...it's really a panic because I have to do this for my every NEW client URL. CASE 1 (Client URL is NOT mapped in the server's HOSTS file) 1) I can't access client REMOTE URL from the server using IE browser but can access any other site for example http://www.google.com in the IE browser. 2) I can ping client remote URL and that was OK. 3) When I try to connection to client remote URL using CFHTTP I get an error like "Connection Failure : Status code unavailable". CASE 2 (Client URL is mapped in the server's HOSTS file) EVERYTHING IS OK. Now, I have added following code within CFHTTP but no luck! <cfhttpparam type="Header" name="Accept-Encoding" value="deflate;q=0"> <cfhttpparam type="Header" name="TE" value="deflate;q=0"> My CF code template is as below: =============================== <cfset previewUrl = {my client URL}> <cfset url.id = XXXXXXX> <cftry> <cfhttp method="Get" url="#previewUrl#?id=#url.id#&from=direct" throwonerror="yes" resolveurl="yes"> <cfhttpparam type="Header" name="Accept-Encoding" value="deflate;q=0"> <cfhttpparam type="Header" name="TE" value="deflate;q=0"> </cfhttp> <cfset content = cfhttp.FileContent> <cfoutput>#content#</cfoutput> <cfcatch> <cfoutput>#cfcatch.Message#<br />#cfcatch.Detail#</cfoutput> </cfcatch> </cftry> ====== CF template ends Can anybody advise me as I DO NOT WANT TO DO MAPPING in HOSTS file at all? I mean CFHTTP should function properly without HOSTS files mapping.
