Thanks Doug!
Yes I am running CF8 locally, and I do have Charles. And, yes, it actually is a RESTful web service, not SOAP - I should be more precise! When I tried Charles yesterday, it showed the traffic for my browsers, but not for the CFHTTP call. I think I have to use the Proxyport and Proxyserver parameters in my CFHTTP call to get it to go through Charles, or maybe there's another way. Do you know of any good instructions for setting all this up right?

Use Charles, Service Capture, or Fiddler then to see the request as well as response. Also, Eclipse Web tools has a webservice tester...wait, that's not a WebService, rather a RESTful web service you are using, sorry to be pedantic there but its a big difference SOAP vs REST, can't use the WebService tool in Eclipse for that. Yeah, a man-in-the-middile tool like Charles, Service Capture, or Fiddler can let you peek into much and verify that CF is indeed sending the header and all correctly nice SO posting on test tools for this sort of thing http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1087185/http-testing-tool-easily-send-pos t-get-put these would test that the service does what its supposed to before adding CF to the picture....eg, see if you can blame someone else :) Douglas Knudsen http://www.cubicleman.com this is my signature, like it?

Are you outputting the cfhttp variable/structure afterward to see what it shows in its various keys? Also, you could wrap it in a CFTRY and dump also the CFCATCH variable/structure. Finally, if you're on CF9, there is an option in the CF Admin to enable logging of CFHTTP requests, which could also provide useful info. Finally, even on CF8 or 7, you may find information being written to the application.log with perhaps the additional error details as well. /charlie From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Clarke Bishop Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2011 6:39 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] Troubleshooting CFHTTP Webservice Call Does anyone have any good suggestions for troubleshooting a CFHTTP Webservice call. All, I'm getting back is a 400 - Syntax error. I want to capture the HTTP request to see what might be wrong. The webservice expects an application/atom+xml POST so I am doing this: <cfhttp method="post" url="#hsURL#" > <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type" value="application/atom+xml"/> <cfhttpparam type="body" value="#payload#"> </cfhttp> Thecfhttpparam type="body" body is set to the XML that the webservice expects. Thanks for any suggestions!
