Re: using cfhttp
If you are checking for the site to be up, you may as well check that everything is working ok also.. What I do is use cfhttp to get my home page - but I add a special url parameter which tells my page to add an entire record from my user's database at the bottom of the page. (I use my own record so I know if I made any recent changes). I then compare that page to a copy I store in the database. (I mark changeable sections like my banner ad so I do not count that part of the page).. if it is different, I save the page into the database and send a text alert to my cellphone which tells me a change has been made.. along with a link to a page on my website which shows me the code view of the old version as well as the new version so I can see what has changed. This allows me to: 1. Know if the page is working 2. Know if the page has changed (as in the recent ftp hacks) 3. Know if the database was hacked 4. Know if the database server is working At 11:36 AM 4/6/2010, you wrote: Hello, Is there a way to use cfhttp to see if a site is down?

Well, this really depends on how the site was written, I think. If you're writing something with CF, and someone makes an HTTP HEAD request, it's up to you to abort processing to prevent the execution of the page after generation of HTTP response headers. It's possible that the web server truncates the request anyway, and that behavior may be dependent on the specific web server for all I know, but you're typically more concerned (as the publisher) with reducing the amount of time needed to respond to the request.

Re: Using CFHTTP to access a website
I have a list of names from a database I want to bounce off of a search function on a website. I threw together a test of one name/initial combination in a CFHTTP call and it threw an error. The page is located at http://www.azcorrections.gov/inmate_datasearch/Index_Minh.aspx. If you do a View Source, is there anything in the inmate search area that might keep a CFHTTP from accessing it? CFHTTP can access anything a browser on the same machine can access, but it's up to you to send any data that the remote server is looking for. Now, in the case of this specific page, it's an ASP.NET page that uses VIEWSTATE, so you'll probably have to fetch the page twice, and send cookies received from the first request to the second.

I don't have time to test this myself, unfortunately, so I'll just give you the advice that I'd use to solve the problem myself. Visit the site in a browser, and use a sniffer to see exactly what gets sent and received. I use Wireshark for this sort of thing, but there are many (easier-to-use) alternatives.

Re: Using CFHTTP to access a website
CFHTTP can access anything a browser on the same machine can access, ... except if the site checks if the IP address requested the form before it receives the action request. In this case, one should at least request the form page first. As mentioned previously, the form will have to be fetched anyway because it's an ASP.NET application that uses VIEWSTATE. So, the action page is going to need to read whatever value was set in the script that generated the form. But in any case, this would work the same way whether you're using a browser or not, so again, CFHTTP can access anything a browser on the same machine can access.

RE: Using CFHTTP to login
No, you must check with the original login form on the .NET application. Here is how I check with the original login form on the .Net app. 1. Delete all cookies 2. Go to login form in .Net. 3. View cookie: There is a cookie ASP.NET_SessionId=4mnaix453yw12h55ox3myn45 4. DELETE that cookie 5. Click Submit 6. View Cookie: Two cookies: ASP.NET_SessionId=n4dg3azlmh4ga1mm2wnmmq55 (note: different value) and .ASPXAUTH=314508822A3EDF0... 7. Log off then view cookie: There is only ASP.NET_SessionId=n4dg3azlmh4ga1mm2wnmmq55 but .ASPXAUTH=314508822A3EDF0... does not exist. The thing that is weird is that, with cookies disabled, the login action will fail. The question then is how does the login action know that cookies are disabled? I thought that this is the key but I don't have the answer. :( I am 100% sure but I think that the thing which you asked me to disable cookie and try to login using login form is a very important which gave us the reason why login with cfhttp failed. You told me that the login fails when cookies are disabled, but what if they are enabled, but Javascript is disabled ? The login action is working well with JS disabled and cookie is enabled. Finally, is there an address (and some code + password) I could use to test the real application by myself? I would be more than happy to give you one when I get a new testing account.

Re: Using CFHTTP to login
1. Delete all cookies 2. Go to login form in .Net. 3. View cookie: There is a cookie ASP.NET_SessionId=4mnaix453yw12h55ox3myn45 Ah ah! This is their session Id. Now if they keep a session live, they may also have some data stored in it, and if that session is not found by the action template, this may be why the login does not work. Then you have to make sure your CF script will CFHTTP the form first to get that session cookie, then pass it when you CFHTTP the action for the login. 4. DELETE that cookie 5.

The same as I did with the login form in CF. We didn't have any cookie from ...net yet when we go to login form in CF but still working well. Now wait a minute. The CF FORM works, but then the ACTION requested by CFHTTP doesn't right? But the CF form doesn't have the session cookie set by the .NET form, and then cannot transmit it to the action. This could be enough to make the login fails. So, if I were you, I'd try this : 1. CFHTTP the .NET FORM first, 2. get the session cookie, 3. CFHTTP the ACTION with this session cookie.

Re: Using CFHTTP to login
The reason is the html form (login1.cfm) is working well and I try to simulate the login process exactly as we login as that html form. Yes, but you are doing it from your browser. If the login procedure uses tricks to detect if the form really comes from a browser, or from a server, they may use some other characteristics you didn't think of. remember you asked me to try to disable cookie and submit the form that works? I got the same screen as I do with cfhttp which is login form WITHOUT any error message. I would suggest that the problem might be is the asp.net think that the cookie is disabled and the login process does not happen. I think this is it indeed. There must be something not perfect in the way you return the cookies to the .Net application. I would concentrate my efforts on this. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

Re: Using CFHTTP to login
Yes, but you are doing it from your browser. Another try: When you call the login action from your CF login form, the request is actually sent by your browser. Then, if may have some cookie in it set previously by the server, it will recognize it and the login is accepted. When calling from CFHTTP, you don't have these cookies, and the login fails. Now, can you try again your CF login form just after having erased all your cookies. If some check cookie was set initially by the normal login form, your CF form should fail now. Then you know what you have to look for. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

You know in the amount if time it is taking to debug a your single sign in, and you haven't even touched the SP side of things yet. You would have been better of looking at ADS (Active Directory Services) or apaches equivalant. Or even look at a 3rd part solution where they deal in this all the time. All your headache so far is one way. Of course I am assuming that the asp.net application is yours to login into, if it isn;t then you better check with the onwer of the website to make sure you are not breaking any of their conditions to the website.

Re: Using CFHTTP to login
Adrian, *LOL* *LOL* I think the dude knows that. Michael, your problem lies with the fact you are connecting to the form page. That is not what you need to do. What you nned to do is connect to the processing page that the form is connecting to, and using cfhttp the way you are pass the username and password but not the submit button. So, if the asp.net page as you have the form page is connecting (submitting) to the /abc.asp then that is where your cfhttp needs to point too, with the same fields as the username and password field that is being inouted on the asp.net form.

Re: Using CFHTTP to login
yes it can. CF can send cookie to a client, and store its value in a variable, but the question here is to emulate a client browser, then the CF application should send back the cookie value set by the other server somewhere in the HTTP headers with all consecutive requests, just like a browser would do. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

Actually there is enough information. I have posted to the same page using cfhttp many and I repeat many times. The difference is I do not send the submit button to do it, I send the action that will define me to send the login information, otherwise Ithe form will get displayed again. So I will satnd up and say it again... = Quote Michael, your problem lies with the fact you are connecting to the form page. That is not what you need to do. What you nned to do is connect to the processing page that the form is connecting to, and using cfhttp the way you are pass the username and password but not the submit button. = Quote End Sop if this dude has form action=login.asp?action=login then he needs to do that.

Re: Using CFHTTP to login
Rick, Happy hour is well and past, *hic* Claude, so you are telling me that if you see a cfhttp call in CF passing the submit button everything is normal. Come on get a grip onb reality man. the problem is as I said, he needs to look at what is being passed to the login script to log the user in. So if it is the same page you don't need to be an einstein to work out what this dude is doing wrong. And of course Claude to spell it out the answer was the due was sending asubmit button, who in their right mind couldn't picl that up. So if you read bewteen the lines he gave an example, now whether it was the actual apsx code ornot who knows, but the answer still lies in the fact he is calling the login form otherwise he wouldn't be, and let me repat that he wouldn't be having a problem. My water might have been scotch, but for fuck sake it hasn't made me stupid.

Re: Using CFHTTP to login
Andrew, I really don't think claude actually saw the post properlly. And if Claude really knew anything, I am using gmail, and when using a web browser I have now spell checker, and being a little under the weather my wits are good, but my fingers can't do the walking as well. Anyway if Claude was smart he wouold see that the login form that works is called login.aspx, and then submits to itself. But what Claude didn't see was the fact that the cfhttp was sending the field submit button. But Claude as ignorant as he is towards me, forgot that the Dude in question hasn't understood exactly what he had done.. much like Claude hasn't realised he is making himself look even more Shall I say incompetant in seeing the problme;-) Claude look at the orignal question, you will see 2 sets of code. One is the form that works, that posts back to itself. The otyher is the cfhttp call that sends a submit button as a formfield. Tell me you are not that blind.

He can send a form to the login script, a form that works, so let's assume he knows what should be passed to the login script, ok? otherwise he wouldn't be, and let me repat that he wouldn't be having a problem.

Re: Using CFHTTP to login
he wouold see that the login form that works is called login.aspx, OK, can you just tell me where you see that? and then submits to itself. Supposing it is so, is it a problem? But what Claude didn't see was the fact that the cfhttp was sending the field submit button. So what? Is it forbidden? Some form action may check the value of the submit button, especially if there are several submit buttons in the form, so I assume Michael was trying to emulate the form as close as possible. Sending the submit button value is just an attempt to tell the form action the button was clicked. It may not work, but I doubt the problem is here. There may be plenty of reasons why a login fails if not coming from the real form. For instance, the server could refuse login to a browser with Javascript not enabled. Michael tries to make believe that the CF server is actually a Mozilla client, but a more picky (pickier?) script which check for Javascript enabled would not be fooled. ___ REUSE CODE!

Re: Using CFHTTP to login
I think that Claude understands me right. OK, now that we are on the good tracks, let's see. Could it be the server checking for something in the user browser that you didn't think of? Javascript for instance. (My own login procedure on my systems work this way) Try your login form that works (and which is NOT the same as the login action ;-) from your browser with Javascript disabled and see if you can still login. Try also with cookie deactivated and see if it makes any difference. Also, you didn't tell, but what kind of answer do you get in return from your CFHTTP attempt? Any message about why the login was refused? -- ___ REUSE CODE!

RE: Using CFHTTP to login
Anyway if Claude was smart he wouold see that the login form that works is called login.aspx, and then submits to itself. But what Claude didn't see was the fact that the cfhttp was sending the field submit button. Actually, Claude was smart enough to point out that the form might NOT be posting to itself. All we know is that the action page is login.aspx, not whether that is the actual name of the form page itself. It could be called form_login.aspx for all we know. Michael didn't state the names of the pages themselves. Also, submit buttons can have names and values, so sending them with cfhttp might be necessary if the action page checks for them. They are basically like any other form field except in addition they have a specific duty, which is to submit the form.

RE: Using CFHTTP to login
The html form that I wrote was NOT extract from login.aspx Both html form and cfhttp is to submit to action page login.aspx but the html does it successfully and the cfhttp does not. Here's what you need to do. Run the form, and examine all of the information sent from the form to the action page. Then, make sure that your CFHTTP request sends all of that information. This will often be more than just the data within the form fields. It may include CGI variables and cookies that are set on or prior to the form. If any of them are set on the form itself, other than the form fields, you may need to use CFHTTP twice - the first time to fetch the form itself, from which you'd pull the cookies or other things in question, and the second time to send your form data along with these other tokens to the action page. It doesn't matter whether the form and action URLs are the same or different, you still might have to do this either way.

RE: Using CFHTTP to login
Claude, if I disable cookie then I couldn't login form the login form that works if cookie enabled. I think that was the point.

RE: Using CFHTTP to login
Any thoughts? Yes, this is basically what you need to do. Fetch the cookies sent when you visit the form, then send those to the action page. I didn't think to ask this earlier, but what are you trying to accomplish, exactly? Are you trying to let your CF app interact with the .NET app, or are you trying to log your user into .NET so that later, when that user visits the .NET app directly, that user is logged in? If the former, you're on your way. If the latter, things get a little more complicated. In that case, you may need to provide the token you get from the .NET app to your user. If your app and the .NET app are in the same domain, this is pretty straightforward - just set a cookie containing the token, and make sure you use the DOMAIN attribute of CFCOOKIE so that the user will send the cookie back to the .NET app. If your app and the .NET app are not in the same domain, you will probably not be able to set a cookie that will be sent to the .NET app. In that case, the .NET app would need to have some other mechanism for accepting a token, such as a URL parameter.

RE: Using CFHTTP to login
Michael, You are going to have to get the cookie scope from your browser and send it along with the page. 1) Create an ASPX page that loops through the cookie scope and sets Javascript variables. 2) Embed the ASPX page as a Javascript on your CF page (script src=mypage.aspx/) 3) copy the JS variables into the form scope using javascript and post them to your CF handler 4) Send them back as cookies in your CFHTTP post... It's also possible that simply embedding the js/aspx into the CF page will set the appropriate cookies and you won't need any JS... They will exist as cookies in your CF cookie scope and your code below would work. I'm going to bet that would work differently in different browsers though. -Mark -Original Message- From: Michael Nguyen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 9:10 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Using CFHTTP to login Claude, if I disable cookie then I couldn't login form the login form that works if cookie enabled.

Re: Using CFHTTP to login
Michael, I know you've received lots of suggestions already, but I want to backup a little bit and try to unerstand what you're trying to do. I've read the thread history and I think there is perhaps a misunderstanding somewhere. What I understand is that you have an aspx page that you can log into by making a direct http call from the client browser, to the aspx page. What I also understand that you are trying to do, is have a cfm page that makes a similar aspx call (via CFHTTP) to log in the client. The challenge in this is that any settings passed back from the aspx page will be sent to the ColdFusion server. They will NOT be passed back to the client browser from the CF server. Even though they are sent to the ColdFusion server, the server will not remember the response on a subsequent request. Hopefully that makes sense. Please feel free to clarify if I have misunderstood the intended functionality.

RE: Using CFHTTP to login
Thanks Claude, you always pointed out the very good point. I very appreciated your messages and suggestion. I've made a little bit of change to make sure that the cookie I got is correct from the form page but no luck. One thing I would like to mention here is the html form that works (says login1.cfm) hasn't got any cookie info from asp.net app yet because this form lies on CF server. It likes the user go to cf login1.cfm (note: this is a login1.cfm locates in CF application and it has got any info of asp.net before hand) and submit login details to asp.net and the results is asp.net redirects user to the member home page in asp.net application. I make another login2.cfm which will submit to itself. In that CF will log the user in CF app (that's no problem) and also makes a http request to asp.net(using cfhttp) to also log user into asp.net application. The thing is the login1.cfm has got any info from asp.net yet but it does its work, however the login2.cfm can get logged in into asp.net. Sorry if something is unclear. Please let me know if anything you might think of.

Yeah, but as I told you, unless the code you copied on your message is not correct, you should get the cookies from the form page, not the action page. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

RE: Using CFHTTP to login
Hi all, One thing that I've noticed and think that it may be or may not be related to the problem: After normal successful logged in into asp.net using html form, the cookie has one more name-value: ..ASPXAUTH=9857AD003ACCC01 which we didn't have before logged in. ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:259150 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Using CFHTTP to login
Micahel, A question for you. You say you have been given the task of a single sign, yet they are 2 applications running .Net and CF. What about the .Net Application? Now are these machines, or Applications going to grow into more applications. Then the best solution would be to use Active Directory Services for windows and the equivalant for Apache. If I heard you right, you know need to go to the .Net application and do the same thing, but what if you need to expand this in the future?

Re: Using CFHTTP to login
Sorry if something is unclear. Well, it is getting complex indeed. If the login action has been especially designed to block any robot intrusion, you're not finished with your project. One thing I'd like to know: what is the feedback you are getting from the login when it fails? I mean from your CFHTTP. Any message about the reason it failed? Also, I suppose you looked at the source code of the login form, since you are trying to emulate it. Was there any Javascript in it? May be if you could show us the code? -- ___ REUSE CODE!

RE: Using CFHTTP to login
If the login action has been especially designed to block any robot intrusion, you're not finished with your project. I don't think so Claude. The reason is the html form (login1.cfm) is working well and I try to simulate the login process exactly as we login as that html form. One thing I'd like to know: what is the feedback you are getting from the login when it fails? I mean from your CFHTTP. Any message about the reason it failed? The login process happens like this: If the login is successful then it redirects to another page like member home page. If not, it redirects user to login form with an error message: Login failed! When using login1.cfm (which is working) then after submitting, the member home page is shown. If I type in incorrect details then it redirects to login form say login.aspx with message Login Failed. When using CFHTTP and dump cfhttp.filecontent, the login form login.aspx is shown WITHOUT any error message just like you get there first time. Claude, remember you asked me to try to disable cookie and submit the form that works? I got the same screen as I do with cfhttp which is login form WITHOUT any error message. I would suggest that the problem might be is the asp.net think that the cookie is disabled and the login process does not happen. It simply redirects user to the login page. I have been pulling out my hair but no luck so far...

RE: using cfhttp to submit to a form processing page on another server
Why not just set it to a value that works, and set a schedules task to call this page every minute Snake -Original Message- From: Andy Matthews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 October 2006 19:37 To: CF-Talk Subject: using cfhttp to submit to a form processing page on another server I'm testing something for a local contest. The details say that you can submit as many times as you like so I'm trying out the old cfhttp the form variables to their processing page. When I run it once it works just fine, and appears to submit successfully. So I bumped it up to 500 and went on doing my work. But it just sat and spun for a few minutes then timed out with this error: The request has exceeded the allowable time limit Tag: cfhttp The error occurred on line 4. So I reduced it further and further until I found that I could set it to 10 and it would run. That's little better than doing it all by hand so I want to find out how I can go about increasing the time limit or something that will let me run it at least 50 or 100 times in a row. This is the code I'm using: cfloop from=1 to=25 index=i cfhttp url=http://dannyandnina.com/thanks.php; method=post cfhttpparam name=state type=formField value=43 cfhttpparam name=town type=formField value=206 /cfhttp cfoutput#i#br //cfoutput /cfloop Even s5 times out. This is one of things which my PHP friends would say that PHP would have no problem with, and I know CF is every bit as powerful and useful, but why am I encountering this issue? !//-- andy matthews web developer certified advanced coldfusion programmer ICGLink, Inc.

RE: using cfhttp to submit to a form processing page on another server
I believe you are running against the maximum request time out. A setting on how long a page can be running. This can be adjusted in either the administrator or with the cfapplication... tag. I believe the url parameter is been deprecated in the current version of CF. Another way we got around this issue just yesterday. Only run one cfhttp per request, but then relocate to the page afterwards so that it runs again. You'll probably want some kind of trigger to stop this from going on endlessly.
