High Ascii problem with CFHTTP
I know there are plenty of tags out there that strip/convert high ascii to low ascii - usually on the front end through form input or whatever. The problem I'm encountering is this: I'm using CFHTTP to grab a page that has content with high ascii smart quotes, apostrophes, em dashes, etc. Doing a straight cfhttp and spitting the page back out - ALL the high ascii is being converted to ASCII 65533 - so if I try doing find and replace it is pointless because it is the same character - dumb quotes are then appearing for quotes, em dashes, apostrophes, etc. Is that because of the java based character set of cfhttp or something? Any suggestions? ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Have you played with charset, The character encoding of the request, including the URL query string and form or file data, and the response. http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/Tags_g-h_09.html#3989287 On Wed, May 20, 2009 at 8:35 AM, John Drake thedangerman...@yahoo.comwrote: I know there are plenty of tags out there that strip/convert high ascii to low ascii - usually on the front end through form input or whatever.

Re: High Ascii problem with CFHTTP
John, That worked perfectly - thank you! The default for CFHTTP is UTF-8 and changing it to windows-1252 gives me what I needed. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

I am having a problem with cfhttp receiving a cookie...
Hello all, From a ColdFusion Application Server, I need to make an http POST request to another webserver on behalf of the client browser. The results comes from the remote webserver in a cookie. How can I get that cookie value? For example: cfhttp url=https://www.website.com/bin/calc.cgi?add; port=80 method=post resolveurl=no useragent=MyColdFusionServer charset=iso-8859-1 getasbinary=auto cfhttpparam type=formfield name=x value=100 / cfhttpparam type=formfield name=y value=200 / /cfhttp I should get a cookie back with the value of 300, but I do not see any cookies when I use cfdump to dump the values in cfhttp. In the cfhttp Structure, I get Charset, ErrorDetail, Filecontent, Header, Mimetype, Responseheader, Statuscode, and Text. None of these fields have the Result Cookie that I am looking for. I have found an example that is giving me the problem. If I telnet to a webserver and get the HEAD of a document, I can two cookies listed. Here is a real life example you can try: [EMAIL PROTECTED]telnet webapps.lib.ncsu.edu 80 Trying 152.1.79.69... Connected to appsvr.lib.ncsu.edu. Escape character is '^]'. HEAD /insidewood HTTP/1.1 Host:webapps.lib.ncsu.edu HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Mon, 07 Feb 2005 14:39:55 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.52 (Unix) JRun/4.0 Set-cookie: WRAP_REFERER=http://webapps.lib.ncsu.edu/insidewood; path=/; domain=.ncsu.edu Set-cookie: WRAP16=.LOGOUT+NOUSER+NOAFFIL+152.1.79.69; path=/; domain=.ncsu.edu Location: https://webauth.ncsu.edu/wrap-bin/was16.cgi?affil Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Connection closed by foreign host. -- But if I user cfhttp, I am unable to see the two cookies listed in the Header or ResponseHeader. Any ideas?

Re: I am having a problem with cfhttp receiving a cookie...
Everyone can disregard this. The remote webserver was redirecting cfhttp to another webpage and in the process, I was losing my COOKIES. So I had to set the redirect attribute to no and now I am getting my COOKIES.

Problem with CFHTTP
Hi All. Not sure if anyone else has ever come across this, but we have a site that uses an external XML feed to provide it with data. We access this feed using CFHTTP which work fine, however sometimes the provider take a while to response, 10 - 20 seconds, and when this happens CFHTTP eats cpu time like crazy. Which then has an impact on are data parsing time, particular when there are multiple instants of CFHTTP waiting for a reply while overs are trying to process returned data. Has anyone else ever come across this problem, or any ideas how to fix it? Best Regards Andrew. ~| Logware: a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Column Attribute Problem in CFHTTP
I'm working to retrieve a tab-delimited list of members from a remote server using CFHTTP. Problem is, the source list headers in the first row have spaces in between some of the words.For example, first name.CFHTTP doesn't like column names with spaces.I've tried specifying my own columns, such as firstname, but then CFHTTP states that there are an incorrect number of columns in the row.I'm only testing with one column. Is there any work arounds, or is there another way to do this? Thanks, Mark [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: Problem with cfhttp
I thought maybe I was missing something. Glad to see someone could reproduce the problem. Can Christine or anyone else at MM that watches this list give us some ideas as to why this is happening? Apparently, this bug (the exact same situation, in fact, with the truncation in the exact same location) has been logged on the beta bugtracker, so it'll probably be fixed in the release. In the meantime, you'll just have to write the content to disk, I guess.

I just tried the same thing, and I got the same kind of truncation - not even 3/4ths of the page, but 2261 out of 7652 characters. However, the CFHTTP operation itself was actually returning the entire string of 7652 characters - if I used Len(CFHTTP.FileContent), I got that number, and if I used CFHTTP to write the content to disk, that's how big the file was. I thought it might be an invalid content length header from the MM server, but that's not the case. Also, I've been able to retrieve significantly longer strings with CFHTTP without truncation. So, next, I thought it might be an invalid character, but it doesn't appear to be, since I can get the raw text just fine with command-line HTTP clients or with IE. So, I have no idea.

Re: Problem with cfhttp
Here is my help on the subject for someone else, but maybe can help you: JM, you must seperate between the two tasks: 1- first fetch for the page using cfhttp, then output cfoutput#cfhttp.filecontent#/cfoutput 2- write to another file using CFFILE. As I see it, you do have a problem of permissions, timeout or inaccessive file. what is the output when you're copy-paste the scheduled cf page into IE? try to get http://iberc.fasturn.com/iberc/autoproc/wl-em.cfm to output the desired result on a regular browser, then try from the local server (again, using a browser, because scheduled tasks doesn't show results or problems as they occur). if you get connection Failure I would suggest to check: 1. if the file u'r calling using cfhttp actually exists on the remote server. 2. if the fil start by calling a simple URL like: http://www.yahoo.com and disply the results cfoutput#cfhttp.filecontent#/cfoutput if this doesn't work, I guess you have some kind of firewall restrictions and/or cfhttp limitation? also, while trying, be sure to have CF 4.5.1 SP 2 as the cfhttp tag has a known problem of eating lots of ram without the need to.

I would like to interact with SprintPCS's module for sending short text messages to my personal phone. Having the form on my site works ok when filled out and submitted (the phone numbers below are changed from the original ones): form action="http://www.messaging.sprintpcs.com/sms/check_message_syntax.html" method="POST" input type="hidden" name="mobilenum" value="30" input name="callbacknum" size="10" maxlength="10" type="TEXT" value="301222" textarea wrap="VIRTUAL" name="message" cols="21" rows="5"/textarea input type="submit" /form However, I would like to submit this via CFHTTP so I can control the output but SprintPCS system responds that the fields I am passing are undefined. Here's the code I am using: cfhttp url="http://www.messaging.sprintpcs.com/sms/check_message_syntax.html" method="POST" useragent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)" resolveurl="yes" timeout="60" cfhttpparam type="FORMFIELD" name="message" value="This is a test! Let's try if this works. If it does, this would be the message!" !--- No more than 100 characters --- cfhttpparam type="FORMFIELD" name="mobilenum" value="30" cfhttpparam type="FORMFIELD" name="callbacknum" value="301222" cfhttpparam type="FORMFIELD" name="Submit" value="" /cfhttp Does anyone have any ideas why the CFHTTP code does not work? Any help/solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dimo Michailov Certified Cold Fusion 4.5 Web Developer USA-IT, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

problem with CFHTTP
Please see the code that says URL="TestAction.cfm", I am trying to call this file with CFHTTP ** Hi List, Please help me. I am about to pull my hair. I don't get an error,but I do not get the desired output. I have the three files below, please let me know why the third file(testAction.cfm) never gets executed. I have put break points in the file and went into debug. The program never goes there at all. Also, for the purpose of printing the testAction.cfm in CFHTTP.FileContents is there a better way of having the testAction executed and I get the html of that file and my ultimate purpose is to send an email of the executed page as an attachment. Please let me know if you need any other information. Also let me know if I am on the wrong street? THanks.
