Unfortunately, the last server is dead and even if CARs were available, not 
sure if they actually were, I can't get to the old server.

Were CARs available in CF5? If so and the servers' configs are supposed to
be the same, id go that route first.

Maybe a setting was just missed somewhere in the cf admin.

If it is a charset issue, do you know how to configure CF for the correct
charset.  I have clients that are hitting this page by posting straight to
it.  It would be much easier to change my server since it is on my network.

Well, it's not a matter of having a "correct" character set - it's
rather a matter of both sides agreeing which one to use. If you're
using a modern version of CF on the server receiving the post, I'd
guess it's using UTF-8.

Right, but that's what I'm getting at. Those other servers may be

Thanks Dave.  This code hasn't changed in 4 years and it only started 
"misparsing" the form data when the action page was moved to another server, so 
this seems like there is an issue with the Coldfusion service on the server.  I 
have the same action page on several different servers.  I can change the URL 
in my CFHTTP and it will work on certain servers and it won't work on other 
servers.  There is no encoding changes or anything, just the URL that the 
CFHTTP is posting too.

This is a CF 5.5 server.  Do you think there is a patch that needs to be 
applied?

There are two things I can think of off the top of my head, that you might do.

First, you might just take a shot in the dark and play with encoding.
You can specify the appropriate encoding for your form post from
CFHTTP using the CHARSET attribute.

Second, you might want to compare a good request with a bad one - you
can capture HTTP requests on the client using various tools that
record and/or proxy HTTP traffic. You could make a request from a
browser on the same server that's running the CFHTTP tag.

The code hasn't been touched in 4 years, besides, if the CFHTTP method was set

Yes, it's a typo.  I was tying to reproduce what debug shows which is a 
variable name : value, in this case the value is 
John&MiddleName=James&LastName=Smith.  These values are being passed via 3 
separate httpparams with type of formfield.  I've tested the "action" page on 
another server and it works correctly.

Sorry, been busy staging a picture for Bobby, with me holding a wooden
table over my head, pretending to smash down on the camera. =-P

I've got some code that uses the JExcelAPI to import/export excel
files.  I already
tackled all the issues with not the same number of cols, etc., along
with a little
date conversion and some other little tweaks.  JExcelAPI roxerz!

I'll post a link, if I think about it, as I've got it in google code
somewhere... I may
have posted a link already, not too sure.

You'd need createobject permission, if you're on a shared server.

Ping me off list if you're still looking for a excel solution- I'm
busy and haven't been
watching cf-talk too close.

RE: cfhttp QUESTION (ISSUE SOLVED)

[Robert Harrison]

Thanks for the input everyone. I solved the problem by adjusting the Excel
template. I added an automunber column as the last column in the template
and hid it. That ensured every record had the same number of elements now
matter what the user entered.

This now allows users to users to download an Excel template, populate that
template with data, then upload the complete spreadsheet to mass populate a
data base.

The program parses the spreadsheet, validates the data, updates a data base
and all relational records, etc. This allows users to add/update records in
mass. 

It is working now. It was a pain to work with but it's a nice feature for
the users.

Thanks for the help. 

Robert Harrison

RE: cfhttp QUESTION

[Gaulin, Mark]

Robert,
It is a known issue that all of the CF list functions ignore empty list
elements "a,,c" is a list with two elements, not three.  There are
some UDFs somewhere out there to deal with this. One quick fix I've seen
is to replace ",," with ",!," (where "!" is something special that you
don't expect in the input).  This will turn empty list elements in "!",
which you then has to test for.

CFHTTP doesn't parse your CF code. It acts just like a browser - it requests
a URL, and gives you whatever is returned from that URL. If you use CFHTTP
to fetch a CF URL, the CF server will process the request just like if you'd
made it from a browser. So, the short answer is, no, you can't get CFHTTP to
behave the way you want it to.

If you want to be able to fetch the CF code, and you're running both scripts
on the same server, use CFFILE instead of CFHTTP. If the scripts are on
different servers, you're out of luck unless you control both servers - in
that case, you could write one program to read another using CFFILE, then
call that program from the other server using CFHTTP.

Re: cfhttp question.

[Jim Wright]

So I'm guessing that you want to make the parts of your page static to
reduce the load?  You could do something like this by including the
"non parsed" code through a variablesomething like...



#nonparsed#


If you cfhttp'd the above file, and then saved it again with a .cfm
extension, the "non parsed" code should still be intact and run when
the new file is called.

CFHTTP doesn't parse your CF code. It acts just like a browser - it requests
a URL, and gives you whatever is returned from that URL. If you use CFHTTP
to fetch a CF URL, the CF server will process the request just like if you'd
made it from a browser. So, the short answer is, no, you can't get CFHTTP to
behave the way you want it to.

If you want to be able to fetch the CF code, and you're running both scripts
on the same server, use CFFILE instead of CFHTTP. If the scripts are on
different servers, you're out of luck unless you control both servers - in
that case, you could write one program to read another using CFFILE, then
call that program from the other server using CFHTTP.

RE: CFHTTP Question!

[Mark A. Kruger - CFG]

Sorry If you question is "can I read ASP sessions" the answer is no.  You cannot get "sessions" in Cold Fusion
without the  tag (sessionmanagement="YES").  so... if you are trying to pass a session variable to CF
from an ASP page it will have to be done using post or get (url or form or possibly cookie variables).  If you are
rewriting the whole thing, then start with the  tag and build a session scope with the variables you need
(like user.supportuser). Does this help?

  As Jochem stated, you can't do this with CFHTTP alone. You will need to use

It's look for domain based authentication (not clear text obviously) - meaning you are NOT going to be able to use
CFHTTP to get this page.

According to the web server, you need to use HTTP authentication 
(mechanism described in RFC 2617) using the propietary NTLM 
system from Microsoft. I doubt that is implemented in cfhttp.

As a side thought

If that menu.asp is actually just a bunch of html with no asp code in 
there, the you could just use  to drag it into your cf code.

Or you could bin that asp junk altogether and.  ~joking~ ;o)

RE: CFHTTP Question!

[Bryan F. Hogan]

Most likely there are directory permissions setup on this folder and that
you are logged into your network with an account that has permission to view
this directory. Which is why you are able to browse the file. However CFHTTP
can not because it is making a request like I would be if I where to click
the link. I can not verify that this is the problem because you left your
domain out of the URL that you provided.

Allan,

 
What is the URL you need to type into a browser in order to run
menu.asp?

 
That is the URL you need to specify for using CFHTTP.

 
(Remember when using CFHTTP it is the ColdFusion server running the
request so the URL needs to be from the perspective of what the
ColdFusion server can see the menu.asp page as which could mean using a
127.0.0.1 or localhost address since it is on the same server. Also, in
general better to use IP addresses to avoid domain name resolution
issues though you loose the obvious benefits.)

This should explain it:

The ColdFusion file is in

and the ASP file is in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\myProject\site\includes\topmenu\folder2\menu.asp.

Can somebody show me how to use cfhttp to call the asp

RE: CFHTTP question

[Bryan Love]

Text parsing is somewhat of a lost art.  It's easy to do, but difficult to
do well.  Your question is too general for me to provide a detailed answer.
If you want to provide a sample of the data you want to parse perhaps I can
be of some help...

RE: CFHTTP question

[Peter Dray]

If you're running MX maybe you could write a web service on each machine
that would allow you to do what you want. I'm not sure CFHTTP is the thing
you need.

I could be wrong tho, it's been known to happen!

I have not used this tag at all.  But in an effort to get CF used where I
work,
I told them I could do what I'm about to ask.  Please tell me if this can be
done.

There are two seperate systems in different states.  On is an ASP/SQL Server
and
the other Perl/Oracle (Unix).  There is a firewall in front of the Unix
machine.
We need to get feeds from each to the other to populate/sync up each
database.
Can CFHTTP do this?  I also recommended XML (WDDX) but we don't have the
expertise yet.  If CFHTTP can work, can some one please describe how it
works so
I can discuss it in my next meeting?

Re: CFHTTP question

[Dick Applebaum]

CFHTTP, esentially simulates a browser with a program (your program).

So, if you can communicate with both sites with a browser, then you can 
do it with a CF program using CFHTTP.

To solve your particular problem, you could write a stub program for 
each of the target sites (one in Perl and one in VBS).

The stubs would receive SQL Statements and data from your CF site (Form 
post of a WDDX packet)

The stub would

1. deserialize the WDDX packet
2.  issue the db request
3. serialize the results
4. return the results WDDX packet to the originator

I have used this technique with great success in populating and 
synchronizing remote databases where I did not have admin privileges.

The problem with trying to "walk" JS hyperlinks is that you'd have to
write something to read, decode and completely understand what's going
on in the JS function - say they hyperlink is built of 5 strings, then
you'd have to manage that

Generally, I'd say to avoid them, unless you write some rules as to what
to follow - to a person's eye, the above code will be obvious, but you
try telling your code how to understand that!

But if I change the url into http://finance.yahoo.com , it will works...

any idea why ???

Does anyone has a better idea how to get quotes, I decide to get it from

yahoo, cause I don't know where I have to go to get this quotes ??? Does

anyone ever do this before ??? One more thing, it causes the page really

You can certainly determine for yourself whether your DNS server has
problems - and it's not that uncommon to have small DNS problems here and
there. There are plenty of DNS resources available:

Acme Byte & Wire:
http://www.acmebw.com/
This site, run by Liu and Larson, the authors of the O'Reilly DNS book, has
lots of Q & A resources.

DNS Expert:
http://www.dnsexpert.com/
This retail software package does DNS diagnostics pretty well, for those who
don't want to learn dig and nslookup.

In any case, if you're able to resolve the target server's name from a
command shell on the CF server, you shouldn't have any problems with CFHTTP
and DNS.

The problem here is that diagnosing problems with an HTTP client run from a
CF script isn't very easy. You don't know what's happening "behind the
scenes" so to speak.

You can find out, though, with a recording proxy, which you can pass your
HTTP requests through. It'll write down the HTTP requests and responses,
which might help you to diagnose the problem. Here are a couple that I've
used successfully:

Stretch:
http://www.kestral.com.au/devtools/

HTTPSniffer (requires Perl):
http://www.compansr.demon.co.uk/

The documentation for Stretch is nonexistent, but both tools are pretty easy
to use. Simply run the utility with the IP address of the target server.
Then, change your CFHTTP request so that it sends to the proxy instead of
the target server - typically, you put the proxy on your web server, and it
listens at port 8080 by default. Then, run your page and see what happens!

Re: CFHTTP question

[Eric Dawson]

I have had problems with cfhttp. In one case it was my routing table on the 
server, and in another I was running a release candidate of W2K, the 
installation of the final release W2K server cleared up my remaining 
problems.

If it helpful I can give you some server space for the interim to help with 
troubleshooting. ie to compare and environment that works vs one that 
doesn't.

are you having intermittant problems? or just can't connect?

Question for the group: Is it worth trying CFX_HTTP?

Are
you GETing or POSTing.  Have you tried urlencoding() the actual URL that

string?

If you view the source of the page you want, then say there is a 
section that always changes dynamically and that is what you are 
trying to get, and if you can find something before that that never 
changes then you would do a "find()" for that string, then add the 
number of characters to the position where you want to start your 
extraction. Same thing for the end. Then your subtract the start 
position from the end position and that would be the mid() function 
you would run on it.


Example on a block of test that happens to be in a preformmated tag block:


", CFHTTP.FileContent)>
", CFHTTP.FileContent)>


We add the begin + 6 so it includes the end pre tag. The find on 
 returns the starting position of the < and we want the 
starting position of the >.

So what you have is, if the first pre tag starts at position 400 and 
the end pre tag starts at position 600, then we want to extract (600 
- 400 + 6) or 206 characters starting at position 400, or:

#mid(CFHTTP.FileContent, begin, return)#

Which in reality is:

#mid(CFHTTP.FileContent, 400, 206)#

You can basically search for any text that is never going to change 
and always be in the same position relative to the text you're trying 
to extract. If the beginning search string is before the text you 
want to extract, then add the number of characters (view the source, 
count the line breaks also) to the content you want to extract.

Then you can add to the begin variable like this:



Of course, if the code you are trying to search on has quotes or 
pound signs in it, then I like to create a variable called 
searchstring using the ascii code for the special characters. 
Example, looking for 

">

Then:



Simple, huh? LOL
