RE: CFHTTP Connection Failure (fwd)
Tony, are you sure that this is not https issue? Check this kb: http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=22713&Method=Full&PageCall=/support/index.cfm http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=1608&Method=Full&PageCall=/support/index.cfm I found that several https sites require 128 bit connection, so i choose to use M$ XML component. It's pretty simple tough, here's the example: And the result is: objSrvHTTP.responsetext ~ similar to cfhttp.filecontent objSrvHTTP.Status ~ similar to cfhttp.statuscode Regards, Rizal At 04:03 AM 5/15/2002, you wrote: > > hm ok, what's the page you are requesting like?

Re: CFHTTP Connection Failure (fwd)
Same problem here, so it's not just you. My money is it's an SSL issue, since you've established that the server is up. There's a kb article on CF5's inabilty to do 128 bit ssl on the Macr site somewhere... CFHTTP sucks all around though in 5, and they didn't fix it all the way in MX so I'm very bitter about that damn tag. So forgive me if I ramble on about it's suckiness. I've spent the last two weekends working on a java replacement for cfhttp, since I wan't to move away from using COM when we go to MX. Lucky for me I discovered that Sun included JSSE in version 1.4 of the JRE. I've got it working for http and https gets so far. Next weekend I get it to do posts.
