Yup, we've used CFHTTP to achieve the same kind of thing, and it works a treat.

Hi Ken, In my last job we used CFHTTP to send XML documents and recieve XML responses just as you describe with great success and very few problems. E-Procurement protocols often use this approach too. I believe you're right about https securing the transfer. cXML (used by Ariba) specifies this method for transferring XML (http://xml.cxml.org/current/cXMLUsersGuide.pdf - Chapter 2) Barny ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Dunnington" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 7:23 PM Subject: [CFCDev] XML transfer using 'curl'-like function? > I have to make a secure transfer of an XML file from my server to a > processing server, and the documentation I've been given suggests using > 'curl' (for php code) to do the transfer.
