Under CF 4.5, I had this problem once when we installed a couple new webservers and the one internal cfhttp command generated continuous connection failures. It turned out to be an access permissions issue with the account that CF was running in.

Rogers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 11:16 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFHTTP and FQDN Searching through the Allaire forums, we see that we're not the only ones experiencing a problem with ColdFusion 5 in respect to CFHTTP and FQDNs. Specifically, a CFHTTP request to the same domain that is making the request fails. The error message is the ubiquitous CFHTTP "Connection Failure." I've included the debugging information from CFDUMP below. Substituting the IP address for the domain works. In addition, substituting a domain other than the one making the request but one still pointed at the same IP address works. It would seem that ColdFusion parses a CFHTTP request for its own domain differently than in any other scenario. Perhaps this is for performance reasons? Who knows but it is clear there is a problem. Has anyone come across a real fix or been able to narrow down the cause of problem? We're experiencing the problem on Windows 2000 running IIS 5 and ColdFusion Server 5 Professional Edition, though many of the people reporting the problem in the Allaire forums seem to be running Apache on Linux. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
