Thanks Charlie. I did try type="xml" like you suggested, but it didn't help.
I think I need to better understand how CFHTTP/CFHTTPParam translate into HTTP headers. I know what I want the request to look like, but how to make CF create that request is my challenge. 1. Do you or anyone else know of any good examples or links for how CF builds requests? 2. Also, I still haven't been able to get Charles to work with my CF development server. Does anyone have any examples or links for how to setup Charles to show HTTP traffic from a CFHTTP. Charles has HTTP proxy and SOCKS proxy options - Which one is better to use? And, what's the best way to get CF to route through the proxy? Right now, I'm kind of stuck, so I really appreciate any ideas!

If none, then yes it won't help much. Here's something to try: change the cfhttpparam type="body" to type="xml" (and make sure that what's in that payload variable is indeed all XML and no html added somehow.) Let us know if that helps. /charlie From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Clarke Bishop Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2011 9:08 AM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Troubleshooting CFHTTP Webservice Call Thanks Charlie! Yes, I am dumping the CFHTTP structure. The server is there, it's just not happy with the request I am sending it. The Header that gets returned says: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8 Connection: close Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2011 13:58:50 GMT Content-Length: 971 Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 The Content-Type needs to be application/atom+xml, but based on the header is apparently being sent as text/html. I'm on CF8, and there's nothing in application.log. I believe my problem is in getting the HTTP request formatted right. So CFTRY/CFCATCH wouldn't really help much - Right? I'm not getting a CF error, but an error from the remote server. Please let me know if you see something I'm missing.

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!
