Re: CFHTTP Raw Request
Hi Steve, Thanks for the suggestion. I've never used Fiddler before. Are there any special configurations to watch a cfhttp request? Thanks, Donnie Carvajal If you are doing this on a developer machine, install fiddler. Then you can watch everything the request and response and look at the raw outputs. It has saved me multiple times from pulling my hair out.

RE: CFHTTP Raw Request
It's just a program that when run will sit between the browser and the world outside the computer (internet, intranet, etc). It displays what is going in and out. It's an easy install and adds piece to IE/Chrome/Firefox as well as installing the App. You just run it and use your web browser. If you are working with HTTPS/SSL/TLS then there is a way to set it up to track that data as well (Technically a man in the middle, but you are doing it to yourself so it's ok).

Re: CFHTTP Raw Request
I think I may be confused. I need to see the raw headers that CFHTTP is creating. I installed Fiddler on the development and ran it. When I call the CF page that includes the CFHTTP, I am not seeing any new requests in Fiddler. I'm not sure how a browser would show me CFHTTP headers that are created. Am I missing something?

RE: CFHTTP Raw Request
Donnie, you will need a sniffer on the server to see any HTTP request from CF. If you are doing local development (where cf is installed on your laptop or desktop) then that's where your proxy/sniffer needs to live. CFHTTP is technically not a browser request - just a straight HTTP request using tcp. I use wireshark for this - fiddler is more of a browser plugin - or at least, it proxys it's data to a browser. I suspect it could work for cfhttp request -just not positive as I've never tried it. Steve's suggestion is a good one and fiddler (or Charles) is a great addition to your toolkit but it may not work in this specific instance.

Sorry to redirect your efforts :) Fiddler is more than a browser plugin. It's a proxy server, and can in fact capture all outbound HTTP requests from your machine, regardless of what they come from. I prefer Fiddler to Wireshark for this because it's purely focused on HTTP/HTTPS and a lot easier to read. However, you have to configure clients to use it as a proxy. With CF, you can do this at the JVM level, or you can change your CFHTTP code to use a specific proxy server.

RE: CFHTTP Raw Request
Ah... so you would have to use the proxy/port attributes of the cfhttp tag. I see how that would work. On the plugin install it sets that up for you with the browser.

RE: CFHTTP Raw Request
CF has to be running on your local machine to see it. If you are doing it on a development server then you have to install fiddler on the dev server and run the browser from there.

Try the getpagecontext or getmetadata functions.
