Re: CFHTTP connection failure error
I've had this issue before. The way I solved it was to not use CFHTTP. Since
you are using a winbox, this method should work fine.
cfobject action=Create name=objSrvHTTP class=MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP
cfset myURL = http://google.com;
cfset temp = objSrvHTTP.open(GET,#myURL#)
cfset temp = objSrvHTTP.send()
cfset myResult = objSrvHTTP.responsetext
You can find documentation on the methods that MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP provides at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms762278(VS.85).aspx
Let me know how it turns out! Cheers!
I am writing to describe CFHTTP issue.
There is a WINDOWS 2003, IIS 6.0 and ColdFusion 8 is on the server.
Right now if I have to make any CFHTTP call from the server to my
client URL (assume client URL is hosted to anywhere in the world) I
must need to add that remote URL entry in server HOSTS file...it's
really a panic because I have to do this for my every NEW client URL.
CASE 1 (Client URL is NOT mapped in the server's HOSTS file)
1) I can't access client REMOTE URL from the server using IE browser
but can access any other site for example http://www.google.com in the
IE browser.
2) I can ping client remote URL and that was OK.
3) When I try to connection to client remote URL using CFHTTP I get an
error like Connection Failure : Status code unavailable.
CASE 2 (Client URL is mapped in the server's HOSTS file)
EVERYTHING IS OK.
Now, I have added following code within CFHTTP but no luck!
cfhttpparam type=Header name=Accept-Encoding
value=deflate;q=0
cfhttpparam type=Header name=TE value=deflate;q=0
My CF code template is as below:
===
cfset previewUrl = {my client URL}
cfset url.id = XXX
cftry
cfhttp method=Get url=#previewUrl#?id=#url.id#from=direct
throwonerror=yes resolveurl=yes
cfhttpparam type=Header name=Accept-Encoding
value=deflate;q=0
cfhttpparam type=Header name=TE value=deflate;q=0
/cfhttp
cfset content = cfhttp.FileContent
cfoutput#content#/cfoutput
cfcatch
cfoutput#cfcatch.Message#br /#cfcatch.Detail#/cfoutput
/cfcatch
/cftry
== CF template ends
Can anybody advise me as I DO NOT WANT TO DO MAPPING in HOSTS file at
all?
I mean CFHTTP should function properly without HOSTS files mapping.
Thanks a lot in advance.

RE: CFHTTP connection failure error
Never seen that one before. But here's a shot in the dark. Any chance you're
trying to connect to a secure url (https)? There is a known issue where cfhttp
does not support certain implementations and therefore the certificate gets
rejected. You could try using CFHTTP5 at the tag store. They have a free eval
version so you can at least test to see if it fixes the problem.

CFHTTP connection failure error
Has DNS changed since you last rebooted your CF server? Java (and
therefore CF) caches DNS lookups FOREVER or until CF reboots-- whichever
comes first.
I'm not following why you need a host file entry to access these sites.
If DNS is not your problem then it seems that there are some firewall
restrictions limiting the access your CF server has to the outside
world, or the remote server is refusing connections from your CF server
for some reason.
What if you open up telnet ON YOUR CF SERVER and connect to port 80 of
the remote server and issue a get HTTP command? If that works, CFHTTP
*should* work as the only difference at that point should just be the
headers.

cfhttp connection failure error
Selam, I can't figure out why the cfhttp tag keeps giving me the "connection failure" error. I am trying to download a file from another site. It worked for me briefly once. I even tried higher requesttimeout?? to no avail. What's strange is small part of the file is downloaded before the connection failure. Nothing changed on the server. If you guys don't have the solution I am going to resort to a perl cgi call to do the job. Thank you, __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
