Also find out how they are expecting the POST. You can send a field involving a name/value pair (like a name field in a form post) or you could have the xml be the entire body of the post. If it works via GET, then you might need to be sending the xml as the right field name. There is no way (that I am aware of) to send data in the body of a get, it is all name/value pairs in the request string. If they expect the same field name in the body of a post, you'll have to name your cfhttpparam accordingly.
