Hey gang,

Got a question about cfhttp.  Here is my question:  In the cfhttp tag, I
need to fill in the url, username, and password fields.  I was wondering
if anybody has any suggestions on any way dynamically retrieving this
info to place in the tag so to make it more hack proof.

What I am trying to do is send a formfield from a remote host to a local
server and just want to find ways to protect the info for security
reasons.  I am using CF 5.0

Thanks,

Michael Firth

When the user clicks the link, you can send them to a page which runs the
CFHTTP tag. That's about it, really.

Hi Kevin,

|I was looking into CFHTTP and was wondering if I could use it

|without displaying said page.

I had a similar problem with a submitted form.  I got arround it by
directing the submitted form to a hidden frame on the page.
Presto apparently no page.

Have a look at the vote in the sports section of our site, when a vote is
cast a form is submitted the page that we submit the form to apparently
doesn't get executed ;-).

No problem. Just include a CFHTTP tag pointing to the desired page, but skip the 
normal step of using CFHTTP.FileContent to display the contents

Just a random thought, but I know that the term "URL" is now a reserved word
in CF 4.5x  So if you use URL as a variable name in 4.x it won't work in
4.5x

We encountered this as well but only in some of the places we were using
cfhttp...we had to use cfx_http to get it working again.  If I recall
correctly it had to do with the headers being sent.

Hope this helps,

Why would it be unsafe? Or at least, why would it be any less safe than any
other HTTP client?

If you can pass the CFID and CFTOKEN via the URL, it should keep the
same state... But you'd need to know them before you started the CFHTTP

Yes, you can preserve session state. You'll need to return the session token
on each subsequent request. If that token is a cookie, you'll have to send
back a cookie with the right value. If the token is appended to the URL,
you'll have to do the same. CFHTTP doesn't do any of this automatically for
you.

Now, to send values to the remote server using CFHTTP, you'd typically use
the CFHTTPPARAM tag, but that does require that you use METHOD="POST" in
your CFHTTP tag. If that's a problem, you'll have to find an alternative way
to send your data. Check last week's thread "is there a cfheader type tag
for cfhttp?" for details.

Probably not, since you said it was a shell script that you wanted to run.
CFHTTP would require that you have a web server and CGI script on the Linux
server.

You could write a batch file on your Windows server to handle connecting via
telnet or ssh to the Linux box, and running the script, and capturing the
output from the script. You could then call that batch file from CFEXECUTE.
Note that this will be complicated, probably, and may be difficult to debug.

CFHTTP is terrible. It will sometimes just return "Connection Failed". Try

do the heavy lifting inside CFHTTP, but that doesn't do us much good.

To the best of my knowledge, there are no longer any third-party components
used by CFHTTP. It was significantly changed in the 4.5.x release so as to
avoid the dependencies caused by using those components (WinInet on Windows,
for example).

RE: CFHTTP

Hmmm... Strange.

When you go into the tag builder, you can specify a proxy server.
However, when I do that, the proxy server line does not materialize in
the code!

When I manually enter the proxy server in my code in Studio, all works

In my mind I knew that I was specifying the proxy server, but as you see
in the code, the proxy server line was not there, hence the error.

On one server, cfhttp params are sent to a credit card processor and the

The problem is probably related to the ASP request object. Since cfHTTP is
sending data in the multipart format, ASP thinks that this is binary data
and is unable to process this text data. We are having the same problem and
it seems like we will have to write it in Java...

You can only run executables that are CGI programs via CFHTTP. It's not a

if they're local to the server, you should use CFFILE to test for their

Re: cfhttp

[Craig Bowes]

Peter,

You do this by using cfhttp as follows:





 some link here


The only problem is, for every link that needs to be checked, cfhttp will
take a while to check the page and thus slow down YOUR page that has the
links.  CFHTTP is kind of slow.  A better way to do this would be to
database all your links, then create a scheduled task that checks all the
links at once, maybe once a day or month or so,  and and alters the database
as to whether or not each one has an error or connection failure.  Then you
run a query against this database checking the status of each link the last
time it was checked and displaying it or not based on what it finds in the
database.  If your links are already stored in a database, this will be easy
because you'll just have to add another bit field and call it "validlink" or
something.

Use CFHTTP with a reasonably low timeout

If either the time expires or the returned content contains a 404 
message, the link is invalid.

[Robert Segal]

The cfhttp.filecontent variable will hold whatever is returned by the cfhttp
request.  If you are  on a browser requesting a page that doesn't exist,
you'll get back a 404 error or whatever which you can parse to look for the
page not found error.

Re: CFHTTP

[Computer Simplistics Suppoer]

Well, I am having a bear of a time with this. All I simply want to do is
grab a little weather info off their page, but can't find a way to do it. I
have looked at the previous custom tags in the gallery, but none seem to do
what I want. The major problem is that the info on their site is not
separated by any special character, so I can't set the start and end points
for the grab from the CFHTTP very easily. Anyone see an easy way to grab say
just the temp off this page?

http://www.weather.com/weather/us/zips/91350.html

I just want whatever digits which are between the phrase "Temp:" and the
degree sign. The problem is that there is a whole crapload of code in the
source between those two strings. Any help?

g little weather info off their page, but can't find a way to do it. I
hooked at the previous custom tags in the gallery, but none seem to do
w want. The major problem is that the info on their site is not
sted by any special character, so I can't set the start and end points
fe grab from the CFHTTP very easily. Anyone see an easy way to grab say
jhe temp off this page?

/weather.com/weather/us/zips/91350.html

t whatever digits which are between the phrase "Temp:" and the
d sign. The problem is that there is a whole crapload of code in the
s between those two strings. Any help?

And if they're smart, they'll make it as hard as possible for you to do so.  It's 
their content.  I believe there are some subscription services available that will 
provide the data you need in a machine-readable format.

As for your problem...  You will simply need to get creative with some string parsing. 
 Look into Regular Expressions (REFind(), REReplace()) to help strip out unwanted 
characters.  There are probably great examples of this in the tags you mentioned that 
are in the Tag Gallery.  And looks like Brian has posted a good start for you.

Good luck,

Here's why. I pulled this from the weather.com license agreement:

"1. Licenses.  (A)  We grant you the non-exclusive, non-transferable right
to exhibit and display on your World Wide Web site (the "Site") the "Weather
Magnet" or "Weather Viewer" (as applicable, the "Content") selected by you.

...

(C) The rights granted to you are also limited as follows:

*   You will exhibit and display the Content in its entirety (without any
alteration or deletion), including all credits and copyright notices
included in the Content;

*   You may not use the Content except as we have agreed in this Agreement;

...

*   You may not edit, alter, modify or prepare any derivative works of the
Content;

*   You may not imply, directly or indirectly, including by using the Content
together with content provided by you or others, that we provide, endorse,
sponsor, certify or approve of other content included within the Site or any
products or services advertised in or near the Content;

*   You may not resell, sublicense, retransmit or otherwise distribute any of
the Content in its raw or unaltered form or format;

*   You must include with all graphics, imagery, charts and maps which are
part of the Content, all credits, copyright notices, trademarks, service
marks, trade names and logos which are contained on the Content provided to
you (our "Marks") and you will not omit, vary or otherwise change any of our
Marks, including without limitation, the size, color, location or style of
our Marks;

...

*   We will have the right to review and approve the manner in which the
Content is displayed on the Site.  Our review and approval will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed."

In other words, you can show exactly what they allow exactly the way they
allow you to do it. Any other use of their data falls outside of what this
license allows, and opens the possibility of legal action against you.
Allaire probably doesn't run all the custom tags they receive through their
legal department.

RE: CFHTTP

[Jerry William Richardson]

They will most likely have a problem with it. They do publish tools that
have the same effect, but you have to go through a license agreement and
they can't be reformatted easily to just pull out the stuff you want.

Faced with the same problem, (on http://www.waveone.net/jerry/index.cfm) I
switched information suppliers. Get your forecast straight from the
government just like weather.com does. The National Weather Service is the
root source for 99% of published forecasts in the United States. Parse their
web pages. You paid for that information already with your tax dollars.

Re: CFHTTP

[Fred T. Sanders]

Just because the sites don't complain about it, doesn't mean
its okay.  Your taking their content and supplying it on
your site as if you were generating the content yourself,
even with a link to their site, especially if you don't ask
nicely (some sites want you to ask for permission to even
link to them).
Most do offer a subscription service that will allow you to
download a small database of weather information three or
four times a day then parse to hearts content.  Guess it all
depends on your budget.

(yeah okay so one of the weather grabbers on the dev
exchange is from yours truly, I'm a hypocrite).

Why then would Allaire allow tags in their developers gallery that do
exactly the same thing I am trying to do? Weatherchannel.com allows users to
place their information on your site, since they have a service that does
this for you. I see nothing wrong if I give them credit and link to them
like it does with their subscription.

Re: CFHTTP

[Dick Applebaum]

If I understand you correctly, you will get returned exactly hat you want,

   Go to the site where you want to post, with your browser.

   Manually post the form

The page that gets returned is what you would get when doing the 
equivalent with cfhttp.

The exception to this is when the page served, as a result, of the 
post does a client-side redirect with a metatag refresh, JavaScript 
onLoad, etc.

In this case you will need to handle this by:

   receiving the page with the client-side redirect in CFHTTP.FileContent
   (the result of the post)

   Parsing the page (CFHTTP.FileContent) to determine the URL that is the
   target pf the client-side redirect

   Issuing a second cfhttp request for the target URL

   Processing the page (CFHTTP.FileContent) returned from this, second,
   cfhttp request as desired.

Re: cfhttp

[Gregory Harris]

Depending on the specific error message, it could be a wide variety of
things, offhand I can think of 2:

1) The server is just too slow
2) For security reasons, the server isn't letting you

If you can give me a more specific error message coming from the other
server, diagnosing might be easier.  Hint: if you don't know how to print
the results of a CFHTTP Action try this:





#CFHTTP.FileContent#
#CFHTTP.MimeType# 
#CFHTTP.Header# 

 (to avoid further template processing and display results

I am receiving an error that I am unable to connect to the server.

Does anyone have any advice on this?

Re: CFHTTP

[Jeffry Houser]

  Sounds complicated.  But, I know of no flag to do it.
  I believe there is an of CFHTTP which will return absolute 
links instead of relative links.  You may be able to use that 
to help get the images.  

  I hope you are not planning on performing this on a 'per request' 
basis.

Re: CFHTTP

[Dick Applebaum]

If the ultimate user has no web access, then you must do as you suggest...

Be aware that this is not necessarily an easy task, especially if:

   the target page varies

   the target page frequently changes

   the target page includes links to other pages, which, in turn, contains
   links to other pages... ad infinitum

   the target page(s) contain links other than "We have a problem where your average user does not have web access.

Your code works fine on my machine. I'd check a couple machine

a) Is your server behind some sort of firewall or proxy?
b) If you have physical access to the CF server in question, can you
open up a browser and open that url?

RE: CFHTTP??

[Dylan Bromby]

you can use Find() and Mid() to extract specific code.

assume text.txt contains the string "this is my dog and he likes to eat
cats".










#substring#


that will extract "cats" from the string.

you might want to read up on Find(), FindNoCase(), and Mid().

I then made a simple CFHTTP method = get that requested a blank page on the

page being requested just outputs HELLO WORLD..and I still receive the
Connection Failure error.

I can't figure this out.  I have done several other CFHTTP tags before with
no problems.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: CFHTTP

[Nick Texidor]

Hi Kevin, 

A HREF takes you to another page from a link.

CFHTTP is used within a CF page to go off and maybe POST information to
another page, or get content from a page, and then continue processing back
in the same page.

Martin,

Not sure if this is going to help with resolving the "connection failure"
problem, but you can write CFHTTP.ResponseHeader to a file with ,
then read the file to get the debugging info you need. It is text,
although for some reason CF doesn't see it as such.

Actually its not text, and if you look closely enough to the docs it
explains that it is returned as an array, But looking at it from a cfa_dump
point of view shows it as being a Structured Array. So if you have spectra
installed or one of the many dump tags, you can simply do:-

I think this is a CF 4.5.x bug. If CF doesn't recognize the file type as

won't display the FileContent, even if it is ASCII.

the second page is my action page that pulls out my data like so,

Now after this query is run I pass values from the record set (also on the

any ideas out there would be deeply appreciated,

Further to my existing query is cfhttp restricted to coldfusion templates or

cfhhtp,
 to quote the help docs

"Post passes data to a specified ColdFusion page or to some executable that
interprets the variables being sent and returns data."

You can use CFHTTP against any URL that will respond to the GET or POST
request you send it. It doesn't matter what server-side language is used to
generate that response. CFHTTP is used by CF as an HTTP client, and from the
remote server's perspective, it's like any other HTTP client.

How about posting the error and the offending code?
I suspect however that the url given to the cfhttp tag may have the server

Hope this helps... take a look at the orginial url and it's content and it

strip out everything outside of that.

Re: CFHTTP

[Paul Giesenhagen]

The example below basically is doing that, it is just taking out the middle
area.  You need to find distinct places within the code to decern starting
and ending points.

Re: CFHTTP

[BEN MORRIS]

I think the basic logic would be to first find the location in the string 
of each break point between the sections, and then use mid() and/or left() 
to get the sections of the page.

So, to get the header, you might do:
", l_CfhttpVarName

RE: cfhttp

[Katz, Dov B (IT)]

(...Rejoining thread with Cftalk list)

John,

Makes sense.  From what you are saying, the HTTP requests are dependent
on a web service, and that is the bottlenecking factor.

This means, you won't be able to speed it up, since a
web-service-request is needed per request, so serializing your requests
might help sometimes, but you're assuming nobody else is also using the
web service.. A web service which cant handle concurrency will probably
always be your bottleneck.

Here are some points to consider:

1) Locking Overhead in this case : If locking were to help (and in this
case, I don't see how it would), the overhead would be minimal if you're
protecting access to a slow cfhttp request.  No matter what you do,
you'd be queueing up requests in cf, preventing it from working on any
other cf pages being served out.

---> what would be nice (and maybe this is possible, I'm not totally up
to speed with cf6.1's new features) is if CF could allow you to specify
named queues at the server level, and specify that if this web page were
to queue up on the cf server, it should go into its own queue. This
would prevent (in theory, if done right) all other cf pages to wait for
the bottlenecking pages.

2) Question:   - Do you need these images stored on disk, or are they
just stored to serve out to the user?  If the latter, why not run a
separate web server which may or may not be CF-based, to proxy requests
to the web service, and pushes the content to the browser? You can get a
cheap web server hosting account and with a little perl or server-side
asp, etc. you can write a page which pushes GIF's based on query
strings...  i.e. img
src="">
d=to&web=server'  -  This would take the responsibility and load off
of your cf server.

Just some ideas and comments...

I'm not sure what exactly you're getting back, but your first URL uses
HTTPS, while your CFHTTP tag isn't. You must specify the entire URL within
the CFHTTP tag (https://...)

h...not sure what that column stuff is aboutbut have a look at CFHTTPPARAM...it's used for passing in the URL params "?name=searchname&number=123&search=all" properly

Actually, to be more accurate, if you don't specify the protocol in the URL
attribute, it will default to HTTP rather than HTTPS. You can either specify
it within the URL attribute or set the PORT attribute to "443", I think.

You can send URL parameters embedded directly within the URL attribute,
rather than using CFHTTPPARAM.

Re: CFHTTP

[Mike Kelp]

1) You are getting the column error because you are passing the "name"
attribute, which specifies a variable name for creating a query based
on the data returned (hence cf is looking for a list of column names
in the first line of the response)

2) Check out the livedocs!
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p58.htm#wp1632966

I hope this helps you solve your problem. CFHTTP is a great tag, but
it is easy to get confused with all the parameters for its
wide-ranging capabilities.

Later.

That is never going to work as _javascript_ is client-side and CF is
server-side. The CF script runs when the user requests the page. You
will have to do something like get the _javascript_ to call a script on
the server and pass the url entered as a query string on the script
call URL, or do it as a form submission.

'document.write(window.opener.form.link_e.value);'>

 Link = #gotolink#

 
 #cfhttp.FileContent#
