I believe I found a bug with the CFHTTP tag in CF8. I have a
CFHTTP post call being made within a loop through a list of URL's
(multiple servers). I exit out of the loop upon a successful
CFHTTP.StatusCode indicator (200 or 202 status codes). This logic
has been working this way for years in CF5, 7 & 8.
Just the other day we upgraded our SSL certificate on one of
the CF5 servers this CF8 page is communicating to via this CFHTTP
loop logic. The new SSL cert is not recognized by our JRE and the
POST to this server results in the following error: HTTP ERROR:
Connection Failure. Status code unavailable.
I already know why the SSL cert is unrecognized and I'll be
correcting that BUT the loop logic found a side effect I believe to
be a bug. In looping through to the next URL, the formfields in the
POST are double posted. By "double post," I mean if I indended to
post USERNAME=Joe123, the second action page in the url list
receives USERNAME=Joe123,Joe123 -- this is for all the form fields.
I have not determined if this is always the case and have
just not noticed or if this is specifically related to the SSL
failure. Below is a snippet of my code. This snippet has been
simplified for this example so there might be a typo, but hopefully
it will convey the issue:
