Subject: Basic Authentication Scheme


 Hello all,

 Im currently attempting to integrate a 3rd party system into our website
via
 HTTP Posts. However this 3rd Party is using HTTP Basic Authentication
 security, with the basic Base64 encryption in the HTTP Header.  My
question
 to you is, how can i (if its possible) use CFHTTP to generate these header
 fields into my submition? I need to add to the header field

 "Authorization: Basic base64 encrypted data"

 Ive tried cfhttpparam with all types (URL, CGI, FORMFIELD, ETC). To no
 avail.. Any and all help would be GREATLY apretiated.

You're trying too hard! All you need to do is pass the username and password
as CFHTTP attributes, and it'll generate the required header itself.
