Do we need to apply patches or hot fixes to server for CFHTTP work in CF7?. Please let me know.

Yes, just fine with no problems, same with CF 8

Just to confirm: I can browse to the URL you're CFHTTPing just fine, but
when I CFHTTP it (from same PC), I get "connection failure" too. So it's
not just something you're doing wrong ;-)

CF8 (8,0,0,176276).

I'm not sure what to suggest by way of solution, though.

jeremy's code is confusing...

i am not sure..what it really does and how it fix http call problem in CF7.

CFHTTP call works in CF7 or what is best fix..?.

Somebody please explain.

Thanks jeremy...thanks for ur words

so ..this will work?.

<cfhttp method="post" url="#urlvar#" throwonerror="yes" timeout="15">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="userxml" value="#userxml#">
</cfhttp>

is this bug in Sun's Java Engine?.

1. CFTRANSACTION has nothing to do with CFHTTP.

2. In Claude's case the problem was (most likely) in HTTP response compression, which ColdFusion cannot handle. By adding two additional headers the compression was disabled. So, CFHTTP started to work.

3. For Amm85. If you continue to ask questions in the same manner, you will never get the answer. Effectively you say that something is wrong. Nobody can understand what exactly you mean under "wrong". If you don't get any error, it means everything is working. It's another question that it is working in some way you don't expect, but this usually indicates YOUR problem. CFHTTP works in CF7. If you cannot access ANY Web-site on your Intranet, it may simply mean that you have a connectivity problem related to this particular computer.

4. It is always a good idea to use the timeout parameter, especially if you are not sure what default value is set in Admin.

Ah, wrong decoder ring. Needed Mr. Black. Sorry for the brevity, but when you don't have a clue it's all you got. I knew it had something to do with the timeout function.

Mr. Black. How do I determine a good timeout time or is 15 just a good standard timeout time? I always pondered these things as I considered my plans for world domination.

Seriously. I have been using 15 for my RSS feeds and sometimes, poof. They are gone and then as suddenly as they were gone - POOF - they return. Could it be this mysterious timeout variable. Does it need adjusting, monitoring, or otherwise tweaking to find the exact element of time for which it will function at its best.

Thank you, Mr. Black.

Also, the "TE" header in your case disables chunked transfer. It also can be a problem in CFHTTP. Using both "Accept-Encoding" and "TE" disables both features on the target, but it doesn't mean you have both problems.

The following code perfectly works in CF8:

Hi everyone, I’m experiencing a similar prob but find that your suggested solutions don’t seem to work for me.

On my remoteserever (CF7.02). it returns 408 Request Time-out no matter what I do. It just never connects. When submitted from my local server (cf8 developer) I get connected everytime. I have a friend with the same host (on a different server) and he has no probs cfttp’ing to this url with the same code.

<cfhttp
url=" http://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg"
resolveurl="false"
timeout="5"
method="post"
>
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="api_id" value="9999999">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="user" value="aaaaaaa">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="password" value="xxxxxx">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="from" value="61400000000">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="to" value="27999100000">
</cfhttp>

I’m not sure if it’s a compression issue or not. I tried

<cfhttp
url=" http://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg"
resolveurl="false"
timeout="5"
method="post"
>
<cfhttpparam type="Header" name="Accept-Encoding" value="deflate;q=0">
<cfhttpparam type="Header" name="TE" value="deflate;q=0">

<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="api_id" value="9999999">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="user" value="aaaaaaa">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="password" value="xxxxxx">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="from" value="61400000000">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="to" value="27999100000">
</cfhttp>

AND

<cfhttp
url=" http://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg"
resolveurl="false"
timeout="5"
method="post"
>
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Accept-Encoding" value="*" />
<cfhttpparam type="Header" name="TE" value="deflate;q=0">

<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="api_id" value="9999999">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="user" value="aaaaaaa">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="password" value="xxxxxx">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="from" value="61400000000">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="to" value="27999100000">
</cfhttp>

As per http://www.talkingtree.com/blog/index.cfm/2004/7/28/20040729/

and

your suggestions only to note that none of these suggestions permitted a successful connection from my remote host. They all connect immediately from my local host.

I also noted Dan’s quote:
“After some more testing, it appears CFMX 7 reports the user agent string of "CFSCHEDULE" and not "ColdFusion". This means you should also add the "CFSCHEDULE" string along with the string "ColdFusion" to your MIME type exceptions list. “

I’m not sure of the syntax to do this or if the GZIP stuff is even relevant to my server. (Yep, I’m with Godaddy)


Anyone???
