We got this figured out..  Our apps need to be refreshed when changes are

Re: CFHTTP connection failure

This is specific to our production environment,  the exact same code works
fine in our staging environment.. But a putty connection may be worth a
shot.

We did have to install the Java JCE extensions. But again it works in every
other environment but production.

Re: CFHTTP connection failure

[Steve Milburn]

A few questions... first can you show us some code? Second, are you sure it
is SFTP and not FTPS? What happens if you try to use an SSH client like
Putty? Are you able to connect? The SFTP server should be listening on port
22 - your telnet connection uses port 23 and your ftp connection uses port
21 so they are not really helping you diagnose your SFTP problem. By
attempting an SSH connection with Putty you can determine your target is
listening on port 22. Dont forget to tell  to use port 22 and secure
= true.

Perhaps there's a problem in addition to the certificate problem. You
may have solved one problem, just to encounter another. There are all
kinds of things that might cause connection failure messages generally
- Googling "CFHTTP connection failure" will give you some ideas.

Ok thank you. My next step is to try to update the JVM and see what that
does. Makes no sense why it works for a little bit after a reboot then
starts Connection Failure again.

Each JVM has its own keystore. So, if you switch to a newer JVM, you'll
have to reimport certificates into that JVM keystore if you want them.

Yeah I'm not sure what to do next. After a reboot it works fine for about 5 min 
or so then goes back to Connection Failure. Makes no sense. :(

This is the latest 1.6 JVM:

The latest *supported* JVM for CF 8 and CF 9 is 1.6.0_24 (see
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89440.html). Note that more current
versions typically work just fine, but are not officially supported by
Adobe.

RE: CFHTTP Connection Failure on SSL

[webmaster]

Nope I tried a restart of the service and it still says connection
failure.  Says I am using JVM 1.6.0_14 What is the latest supported JVM?

Seems like it should work all the time or none at all. Seems odd that it
works intermittently.  I appreciate all your help.

I don't really have any other ideas about what could cause the problem.
If you stop and restart CF, does it work one time again? What JVM are
you using? Can you try upgrading to the latest supported JVM, adding the
certificates to the new keystore and trying again?

Your browser will have a screen where it shows you all the certificates

There can be all kinds of things that go wrong with certificates. Does
the site use just a root certificate, or do they also have an
intermediate certificate? You'll have to import the entire certificate
chain if the latter is the case.

Do you mean the keystore password? The default password for the Java

Thanks for the reply.

I am trying the tutorial found here. Short and simple.

http://naveenchhabra.wordpress.com/2010/10/18/trusting-certificate-in-co
ldfusion-using-keytool-utility/

However it asks me for the cert password. Is this something I need to
get from the owner of the cert or am I just typing in the wrong set of
params? On some of the other tutorisla that are similar I see no
refernece to needed a password.

The problem still exists, and will probably exist for the foreseeable

I've just purchased it to use with a site we have in development that needed
to selectively Spider individual member web sites and have been impressed
with it.  I was using the cfx_http that was produced by Follett Software in
2000. It was better than CF5's HTTP but we found some repeatable stability
issues when under load and we also had to hand code the 30X redirects.
Cfx_HTTP5 however fails gracefully on nonexistent URL's, has not shown any
issues under (our) load as the others did, automatically handles 30X
redirects and is faster than cfhttp and cfx_http.

I am not using all its features but the ones I am using work very well.

Re: cfhttp Connection Failure

[John Drake]

Would this Custom Tag work?:

http://www.cftagstore.com/tags/cfxhttp5.cfm

It says it does GZIP compression, and can speed things up by 64x.

Anybody here use the tag?  I did download the demo and was impressed.  I didn't 
know if it worked with CF 9 - and btw, I would love to see a comparison of 
CFHTTP speeds (6, 7, 8, 9 and this tag).

No, it's definitely a compression issue. I'm seeing the same thing

No, it is not.

RE: cfhttp Connection Failure

[brad]

There's a good chance that you simply haven't found the correct
combination of header values yet for that web server.

First of all, why would you use this?
Accept-Encoding: *

That tells the server that ANY encoding is valid.  

In theory, the most restrictive "Accept-Encoding" header would be:
Accept-Encoding: *;q=0

That should indicated that ALL forms (except "identity" of course).  

If you really wanted, you could do:
Accept-Encoding: *;q=0, identity;q=1

I've installed Wireshark and using 
  
 
get the same headers as shown in the brook-bilson example with CF 8.0.1
with no CHF (which in the example returned the data uncompressed) but
the headers show that I'm still getting the data back compressed.

Do you think that the laterooms server is ignoring the TE header?

I also looked at the headers using the java.net.URL approach and it does
not send an Accept-Encoding or a TE header just an Accept header. I've
tried imitating this but the cfhttp tag always adds Accept-Encoding and
TE headers.

I'd like to second Dave Watts' comments.  It is true that cfhttp can't 
handle compressed responses and if you are hitting a web server that is 
gzipping the HTTP response you will get a "Connection Failure" message even 
though that doesn't seem at all like the appropriate message for the 
occaision.

Adding the following header values will tell the remote server that the 
client (CF) can't handle compressed responses:

If they check for a cookie and do not find it, they would return some 
error message, but not a 200 status and a connection failure in the same 
time.
And if it works under CF 5 and not under CF 7, there must be some other 
problem.
I think the problem is with the header sent by CFMX in the HTTP request, 
but I didn't check any further.

The cookie isn't the problem; I can send the request from the browser
without the cookie and it works fine. It's just ASP.NET session
management, and isn't required to request the page.

So, I had a minute and decided to test my own advice. Here's what I
got in HttpWatch with IE 8:

GET /index.aspx?aid=1000&rtype=4&kword=cardiff HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/x-ms-application, image/jpeg,
application/xaml+xml, image/gif, image/pjpeg, application/x-ms-xbap,
application/msword, application/vnd.ms-excel,
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/x-shockwave-flash, */*
Accept-Language: en-US
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64;
Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR
3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath.2)
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Host: xmlfeed.laterooms.com
Connection: Keep-Alive

So, I replicated that in CF and removed the Accept-Encoding header
(since I don't want deflated content), but got the same error.
However, Wireshark shows me that the request and response is going
back and forth, but the data is still being deflated. So, I found
this, which sheds some light on the problem:

Re: cfhttp Connection Failure

[Wil Genovese]

I use the Poster plug-in for FireFox and I get the expected results.  When I
run this from ColdFusion I get your connection failure.

However when I did a cfdump of cfhttp - I noticed one thing.

"Set-Cookie ASP.NET_SessionId=dz1h2vqepah1efatrmjk1445; path=/; HttpOnly"

It looks like they are trying to set a cookie for authentication or at least
to maintain a session.  This works great with a browser but not cfhttp.  I
do not know for sure this is the problem, but it sure looks like something
to check into.

Whenever you can get to something using your server's web browser, but
can't get to it via CFHTTP, you can simply examine the HTTP requests
and responses and see how they differ. Use a recorder of some sort
(Wireshark, HttpWatch, etc) and see what's different, and change your
CFHTTP accordingly. It really is as simple as that, in almost all
cases.

It is such a problem for my applications that I'm stuck with CF 5.

RE: CFHTTP Connection Failure

[Mark Kruger]

H. So the call to HTTP works, but HTTPS does not URLs are
exactly the same

I assume you have pinged around and made sure that the 4 servers resolve the
domain exactly the same right?  And you have tried a CF Restart? Sometimes
the DNS cache for the JVM will have the wrong address in it if you have been
making networking changes etc.

Remember also that each server needs to be examined from the console (from
RDP or whatever). You have to be able to troubleshoot by making outgoing
requests from the individual servers.


Still, I'm with dave. If it works via HTTP but not HTTPS it has to be the
certs somehow. 

This post is about SSL 3.0

http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2009/2/24/CF-SSL30-Authorize-net

But it also includes some info on how to test CF and the JVM and log the
results. It is probably worth it to try and trap the handshake conversation
and see what's up.

the certs are already there. I compared the server working with the one not

yesterday when three of them failed. I have them working with HTTP for now
but I need to turn on HTTPS ASAP. I just got off the 3 hour long conference
call with my networking guy and the third party tech. It makes me believe
that it's on the CF side but I can't figure what it is.

All the servers would presumably require the intermediate certs. Are
you absolutely sure they all have the exact same list of certificates
in their keystores?

Are you sure the intermediate certs are also there? I ran into just
this problem with a client yesterday - they'd installed the site cert,
but not the intermediate certs, and couldn't connect.

I am having issue connecting to HTTPS through CFHTTP Get/Post. It's throwing
"Connection Failure". The strange thing is that we have 4 servers in a
cluster. it's failing on three servers but running fine from one.

Any ideas?

Re: CFHTTP connection failure error

[Jonathan Larson]

I've had this issue before.  The way I solved it was to not use CFHTTP.  Since 
you are using a winbox, this method should work fine.


http://google.com";>
 
 


You can find documentation on the methods that MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP provides at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms762278(VS.85).aspx

Let me know how it turns out! Cheers!

RE: CFHTTP connection failure error

[Jeff Langevin]

Never seen that one before.  But here's a shot in the dark.  Any chance you're 
trying to connect to a secure url (https)?  There is a known issue where cfhttp 
does not support certain implementations and therefore the certificate gets 
rejected.  You could try using CFHTTP5 at the tag store.  They have a free eval 
version so you can at least test to see if it fixes the problem.

Subject: CFHTTP connection failure error

I am writing to describe CFHTTP issue.
There is a WINDOWS 2003, IIS 6.0 and ColdFusion 8 is on the server.

Right now if I have to make any CFHTTP call from the server to my client URL 
(assume client URL is hosted to anywhere in the world) I must need to add that 
remote URL entry in server HOSTS file...it's really a panic because I have to 
do this for my every NEW client URL.

CASE 1 (Client URL is NOT mapped in the server's HOSTS file)
1) I can't access client REMOTE URL from the server using IE browser but can 
access any other site for example http://www.google.com in the IE browser.

2) I can ping client remote URL and that was OK.

3) When I try to connection to client remote URL using CFHTTP I get an error 
like "Connection Failure : Status code unavailable".

CASE 2 (Client URL is mapped in the server's HOSTS file)
EVERYTHING IS OK.

Now, I have added following code within CFHTTP but no luck!



My CF code template is as below:
===










#content#

#cfcatch.Message##cfcatch.Detail#



== CF template ends

Can anybody advise me as I DO NOT WANT TO DO MAPPING in HOSTS file at all?
I mean CFHTTP should function properly without HOSTS files mapping.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Looks like the code is returning  "connection failure" in the content  as 
the server says "200 OK"

They must be detecting session vars.

Java caches successful DNS lookups forever by default. Flushing DNS on

else is going on. Anyway, here's the Adobe article describing the
Java/DNS situation.

Well, from the ColdFusion server you will have to flush the DNS. It may not
be the case but it could be I suppose.

The only way I know to do this is with the reverse proxy functionality,
which will let you create a Charles listener on one port and have it forward
to another.

Can you get to the URL from a browser on the server's console? If not, you
probably have some problem with the server's network connection. If so, you
might want to use a recording proxy or similar tool to see the actual HTTP
requests and responses.

You would have to read it from the first HTTP response, using
CFHTTP.ResponseHeader or CFHTTP.Header, then send it along in the next
request using CFHTTPPARAM. Now, while CFHTTPPARAM allows you to set
TYPE="COOKIE", this may not work for you since it URL-encodes cookie values,
which may break your cookie. Instead, you might use TYPE="HEADER", then
specify a name of "Cookie" and the value of the cookie for the CFHTTPPARAM
value. I ran into this exact problem when using CFMX to talk to a Breeze
server through the Breeze XML API.

Re: CFHTTP Connection Failure

[Bryan Stevenson]

Hey Dave (and anybody else that wants to chime in),

I'm not sure I'm testing this correctly...so here's what I'm up to:

1) Go straight to remote URL in my browser (and record request/response)

2) Test my CFM file (which has a CFHTTP request to the remote URL mention 
above) in my browser

What I see in test 1 above is obviously the request/response to/from the 
remote URL

What I see in test 2 is the request/response to the CFM file on my dev 
server...and none of the communication that is happening with CFHTTP.

So whatya thnk?

Thanks

PS..I'm doing this with Charles...nice toolway simpler to use than 
PureTest

Thanks for the other info...I'll keep it running on my laptop then (easier)

You mention the cookie...there does appear to be one being set..
extracted from header:
"private Set-Cookie: ASP.NET_SessionId=bifpcg2ritgn1v45o4y45ovo;"

I see my response above was a bit off...
I works if I go to the final URL (the one pointed to by the re-direct) in my 
browserbut not when I run my CFM file (which also points directly to the 
final URL)

BTW...how would I send along the cookie?

I'll install Charles now and see if that shows me anything different

It can run anywhere between the browser and the server. Typically, I run it
on the same machine as the client, because that's where I happen to be.

> The original URL I was trying did redirectso I tried with 
> the URL it redirects to (in browser and in code)...still no love :-(

Perhaps it's also setting a cookie, in which case you would need to send
that cookie along on the subsequent request.

You will need to compare the HTTP requests and responses, not just the
requests. If you can make a successful request from the browser, you will
need to change your CFHTTP request to be more similar to the one your
browser makes. If your browser makes a request, and receives a redirect,
you'll need to ensure that CFHTTP also responds appropriately to the
redirect.

Dave I decided to go with PureTest from the folks at PureLoadI installed 
it on my laptop and setup my browser to use the HTTP recorder as the proxy. 
Then I tied running my CFM file (which resides on our office dev server) 
with the CFHTTP request in it to the remote page.  I'm getting the request 
recordedbut I'm not seeing anything useful??

Any ideas?

hehe..me too ;-)

I haven't tried using a recording proxy or wget (I'll look into those), but 
in a browser it works fine.  If I go there without proper URL params I get a 
"invalid input type error" as expected...and with the correct params...all 
is fine.

It strikes me as odd that you'd get a connection failure message even though
the server sent you a response, as indicated by the header. Have you tried
using a recording proxy, or testing this from your server console using wget
or a browser?

CFHTTP requests don't really differ significantly from HTTP requests made by
a browser. However, your browser may be configured to use a proxy, while
CFHTTP wouldn't know anything about that.

For testing, I'd recommend you use a recording proxy, or just download
something like wget and use that to test connectivity from your server
console.

You can do this programmatically (in Java, and hence in CFMX):


obj = CreateObject("java", "java.lang.System");
obj.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "your_proxy_host");
obj.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "your_proxy_port");

Here is a shot in the dark:

resolveurl="true"
proxyserver="proxy.foo.com:80"
  throwonerror="yes"
  redirect="yes">


instead of using proxy port, try appending it to the IP.

Gary,

Have had similar experiences here with MX CFHTTP as well.  To
troubleshoot, I constructed a page where I made the CFHTTP request then
output the returned variables to the page so I could see what the header
looked like, specifically, #cfhttp.header#.

That exercise revealed that external web servers were returning
redirects instead of the pages themselves, so I enabled the "redirect"
parameter in CFHTTP and it solved the issue for me.

Can you try adding the following arguments to the "JVM Arguments" in your CF

restart your cfmx server and test.

-DproxySet=true -Dhttp.proxyHost=yourDNS or IP -DproxyPort=port#

RE: CFHTTP Connection Failure with MX - DISREGARDING PROXY TAGS?

[Houk, Gary]

OK,

It appears that CFMX is disregarding the proxyserver/proxyport tags altogether. I have 
the following:

http://www.macromedia.com";
method="GET"
resolveurl="true"
proxyserver="proxy.foo.com"
proxyport="80"
throwonerror="yes">



This doesn't work. However:

http://eweb.verizon.com";
method="GET"
resolveurl="true"
proxyserver="proxy.ourproxy.com"
proxyport="80"
throwonerror="yes">


This does work, but it shouldn't! If I specify a proxy to be used, this page call 
should fail. However, it calls up just fine. 

Is this another bug in MX, that it just disregards the proxy information?! Is anyone 
using this tag and specifiying a proxy server? Are there any settings here that I'm 
missing? I really need to get this to work asap!!!

TIA,

- Gary

RE: cfhttp, Connection Failure: Status code unavailable

[Craig Dudley]

Ah my favorite subject is back ;-)

I have several java classes that do this sort of thing but I've not
tried them with https, hopefully they will still work.

I'll dig one out and post you the code, so you'll need to go download
the java sdk so you can compile it.

Subject: cfhttp, Connection Failure: Status code unavailable

We just migrated our production server over to cfmx yesterday, and are
running into a couple of issues regarding cfhttp.  A call to a web
service
we are using for user validation using cfhttp is returning the
following:
 
Connection Failure: Status code unavailable
 
Here's the code:
https://www.foo.com/whatever/member.verify"; method="POST"
port="443" username="foo" password="foo" resolveurl="false" timeout="90"
throwonerror="Yes">
 
 







 
Please note that this was working just fine on CF5.  Unfortunately, due
to
network restrictions, this was the one bit of code that we could not
test on
the development box prior to the mx cutover.
 
 
After a bit of research, I found an alternate to cfhttp.

I have it working fine, but unfortunately it seems that after
implementing
the solution below, the server started crashing every 5-10 minutes,
requiring a manual restart of the iis/cf services.  This is the first

I've used cfobject, so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.  I'm

RE: cfhttp Connection Failure

[Jim Taylor]

Jeff,
We Have basic authentication in IIS enabled and I supply a user name and
password to enter the directory of this section of the site.I still get a
connection failure. Could the required cookie information be needed and if
so how would i tel cfhttp what it is?

Thanks a million. 
JT

Yes, you supply it the same credentials as though you are logging in via a
browser.  To enable  , open up the IIS MMC,
browse to the website or folder you want to secure, right click and choose
properties, go to the Directory Security tab, click on the Edit button and
then make sure that the basic authentication box is checked, click OK.

You should then be able to use CFHTTP to connect to that restricted
resource.

If this is on IIS, make sure you have basic authentication enabled.  CF
doesn't do windows or digest authentication.  Only basic.
