CFHTTP "Connection Failure"

Sep 20, 2012 11:49 AM

Hello,

 

We're attempting to connect to an xml feed using some CFHTTP code that has been working for some time. We moved to a new CF10 server and have started running into issue, now persistenly, where we receive a "connection failure" response.

 

I took a look at several related postings and added a number of cfhttpparam's as follows:

 

<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Accept-Encoding" value="*" />

<cfhttpparam type="Header" name="TE" value="deflate;q=0">

<cfhttpparam type="header" name="accept-encoding" value="no-compression" />

<cfhttpparam type="header" name="accept-encoding" value="deflate;q=0?">

<cfhttpparam type="header" name="te" value="deflate;q=0?">

 

No combination of the above has worked. i tried a CFdump and got this result:

 

 

struct
Charset[empty string]
ErrorDetailI/O Exception: Permission denied: connect
FilecontentConnection Failure
Header[empty string]
MimetypeUnable to determine MIME type of file.
Responseheader
struct [empty]
StatuscodeConnection Failure. Status code unavailable.
TextYES

 

Does anyone have some suggestions?

    It's an HTTPS URL you're hitting, right? 

     

    It is likely a certificate issue.

     

    The certificate chain for that site was probably already loaded into the certificate store for your previous install, then when you installed CF10 you got a new JVM with a new cert store. You' ll probably need to import the cert chain again.

     

    Instructions: http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/import-certificates-certificate-s tores-coldfusion.html

     

    You'll need to figure out where your cacerts file is, and your keytool executable. But after you do that, the instructions should be the same.

    its not, its HTTP. I also forgot to mention that hitting the url in a browser produces xml as it should.

    If it is not SSL then my only thoughts are firewall or DNS issues.  Did you hit it from a browser on the same machine as the CF server that is having trouble?

    i am unable to use a browser to hit external sites for security reasons, so hard to check on that. We do hit other services without issue. Are there settings in the CFadministrator that i should check?

    Can you ping the site in question?  Even if the site does not respond to ping, the question I am wondering if can you resolve the IP of the site on a ping?

    the domain resolved on a ping, but i had 100% packet loss. i'm starting to think this is firewall.
