authorize.net ARB api connection problems

[ahmedplummer]

Has anyone been able to use authorize.net's ARB api successfully? If so, was there anything special you had to do?

I was able to post to their testing URL, and receive a well formed XML response, but once I switched over to their production URL I receive and http authentication error. Nothing changed with my posting code, aside from the URL i am posting to. After doing some research and finding mention of occasional problems regarding CFHTTP and certain SSL certificates, I manually imported the SSL certificate as well, but the error continues....

Anyhow, if anyone has done this successfully, or has some feedback let me know. i can post my code as well as my error...

thanks.

There are 2 custom headers you have to pass when using CFHTTP via SSL. I'll see if I can dig them up

If you have already added their certificate to your java cert store on your server, try adding the following to your cfhttp call:

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

thanks for the suggestion.

still no luck though. i added the headers to my post, and the error persists.

maybe it's something really stupid that i'm missing. i've messed around with the code enough at this point i would not be shocked. fresh eyes never hurt. with that in mind, here is my code and error (see below):
-----------
<cfoutput>
<CFXML VARIABLE="myXml">
<ARBCreateSubscriptionRequest xmlns="AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd">
<merchantAuthentication>
<name>myusername</name>
<transactionKey>mytrankey</transactionKey>
</merchantAuthentication>
<refId>testing123</refId>
<subscription>
<name>Sample subscription</name>
<paymentSchedule>
<interval>
<length>1</length>
<unit>months</unit>
</interval>
<startDate>2007-05-25</startDate>
<totalOccurrences>12</totalOccurrences>
<trialOccurrences>1</trialOccurrences>

</creditCard>
</payment>
<billTo>
<firstName>test</firstName>
<lastName>test</lastName>
</billTo>
</subscription>
</ARBCreateSubscriptionRequest>
</CFXML>
</cfoutput>

<cfhttp method="POST" url="https://api.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api" >
<cfhttpparam type="Header" name="Accept-Encoding" value="deflate;q=0">
<cfhttpparam type="Header" name="TE" value="deflate;q=0">
<cfhttpparam name="body" type="xml" value="#ToString(myXml)#" />
</cfhttp>
---------
And here's the result of cfdump on the cfhttp result:
-------
Charset [empty string]
ErrorDetail I/O Exception: peer not authenticated
Filecontent Connection Failure
Header [undefined struct element]
Mimetype Unable to determine MIME type of file.
Responseheader struct [empty]
Statuscode Connection Failure. Status code unavailable.

Was this ever resolved? I am having a problem getting this API working as well.
