So instead of using CFHTTP username and password send it as a header
instead.
I know that on blue dragon Net servers I need to do basic http auth like
this.
<CFSET strCredential="Basic " &
ToBase64("#request.UserName#:#request.Password#")>
<CFHTTP method="post" url="#getEquidataURL()#" port="443" timeout="60"
throwonerror="yes">
<CFHTTPPARAM type="header" name="Authorization" value="#strCredential#">
<CFHTTPPARAM type="body" value="#request.xmlData#">
</CFHTTP>
