>>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"
Again, if CF5 can receive the page with no problem, and CFMX cannot, the problem is not on the server side, it is with CFMX. The server called by the HTTP request does not know which version of CF is calling him. IMHO the problem could be that CFMX claims it can accept compressed responses (or whatever) but is actually not able to handle it, and if by chance the called server is able to actually send a compressed response, then the connection "fails". It is a shame the programmer has no control on the headers set by CFHTTP requests, and that these default headers are not documented. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
