I'd like to second Dave Watts' comments. It is true that cfhttp can't handle compressed responses and if you are hitting a web server that is gzipping the HTTP response you will get a "Connection Failure" message even though that doesn't seem at all like the appropriate message for the occaision.
Adding the following header values will tell the remote server that the client (CF) can't handle compressed responses: <cfhttpparam type="Header" name="Accept-Encoding" value="deflate;q=0"> <cfhttpparam type="Header" name="TE" value="deflate;q=0"> ~Brad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
