I've done that. I get "no status available" on the result cf error page. I also use CFDUMP on CFHTTP and there is, as described, nothing in it, except the connection failure message. Empty header.
CFDUMP looks like this: FILECONTENT Connection Failure HEADER MIMETYPE Unable to determine MIME type of file. RESPONSEHEADER STATUSCODE Connection Failure. Status code unavailable. Arg. Now, if I request what I know to be an invalid url on the same server, but one that does NOT end in .dll, I get this: FILECONTENT Connection Failure HEADER HTTP/1.1 405 Method not allowed Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0 Date: Tue, 14 May 2002 20:25:03 GMT Allow: OPTIONS, TRACE Content-Length: 545 Content-Type: text/html MIMETYPE text/html RESPONSEHEADER ALLOW OPTIONS, TRACE CONTENT-LENGTH 545 CONTENT-TYPE text/html DATE Tue, 14 May 2002 20:25:03 GMT EXPLANATION Method HTTP_VERSION HTTP/1.1 SERVER Microsoft-IIS/4.0 STATUS_CODE 405 Which is at least a response! > Ok - Add the "throwonerror=yes" attribute to your <cfhttp> tag call. > sometimes connection failure is a read herring for some other error. > > mark > > -----Original Message----- > From: Tony Schreiber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 3:04 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: CFHTTP Connection Failure (fwd) > > > I've checked the forums and search on google, but I've yet to find an > answer. > > I'm trying to make a CFHTTP call to ebay.
