CFHTTP does not allow a GET request to pass header information (like
cookies).
CFX_HTTP does allow a GET request to pass header information (like cookies).
I recently was given the task of pulling xml from LiveLink and using xslt
to reformat the xml and xsl to format the xml to html while being able
to use Cold Fusion functionality.
LiveLink expects a few cookies to be set. It also expects a GET request.
Of course, CFHTTP did not work. CFHTTP (even still in CF5) does not
allow the CFHTTPPARAM tag with a GET method. In the past folks
have encountered this on the list. I did not find the solution
posted.
I downloaded CFX_HTTP. It worked. I was able to Pass the cookies in a GET
request.
I had to do a CRLF and have "COOKIE:" on its own line to get it to work
in the AddlHeader param.
(e.g. AddlHeader="
COOKIE: some-cookies-here;
")
Here is a modified snippet.
<CFX_HTTP
URL ="#URL#"
USERAGENT ="Mozilla/4.0(MSIE 7.01;Windows XP;RiceIsNice.net)"
USERNAME ="johnjrce"
PASSWORD ="beerisnice"
AddlHeader ="
COOKIE: LLInProgress=%2F%2F;LLCookie=LIVELINK_DEPTX;
"

I just wanted to put a possible solution (that works for me) out there where
it is searchable.
