RE: CFHTTP Alternatives
I did read the docs. The docs state: encoded Optional Yes Applies to FormField and CGI types; ignored for all other types. Specifies whether to URLEncode the form field or header. I am using it on a cookie type.

There is an alternative written in c++ http://www.cftagstore.com/tags/cfxhttp5.cfm I havn't used it but the claims made on the website are impressive. Andrew. [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

We have a PDF engine written in Python that runs on Linux that does a callback to a CF page, and the cookies transfer fine for us (and if they weren't, our stuff would break because it relies on the CFID/CFTOKEN values in the user's cookie for client variable stuff).

RE: CFHTTP Alternatives
Yes, it really is an issue, as several sites that I'm pulling the data from require login, and they don't recognize the URLEncoded session cookies sent by CF.

I just re-checked our code (we wrote it a long time ago), and that is, in fact, how we pass the values. Regards, Dave.

I need to pass large WDDX packets to a Python server extensively, and CFHTTP is just not an adequate, scalable solution. Time is also a big factor, so rolling my own just isn't in the cards for now. I vaguely recall seeing a Java CFX called CFX_Sockets (or some such) that I suppose works under Linux. Never used it however, so I can't say for certain. I've seen Lewis Seller's TCPClient tag, but I don't believe it works in a non-Windows environment. (Please let me know if I'm wrong on this) Nope. Windows only. However, come version 3.x I do plan on porting it to linux/freebsd finally (just so people will stop bugging me about it :). However, this does you no good whatsoever, as I have tenatively scheduled myself to work on 3.x around the Winter of 2002. (If any one wants to send me an old Solaris machine I suppose I could port it to that as well. Haven't the slightest use for one otherwise.) I'm using CF 4.5 SP2 right now, but will also be upgrading that in a month or so (either to 5 or MX, still up in the air). So far MX seems to me, as they say, *evil*. Nice new features, but some of the cirtical old ones just plain don't work. :) --min __ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
