CFHTTP to SSL URL

[Grae Desmond]

I am attempting to use cfhttp to make a call to an SSL encrypted URL. I am recieving the following cfdump when i attempt to connect.

struct
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.
Text YES

I am able to successfully reach this URL through my development environment (coldfusion developer edition server) with no issues, on my production machine i get the above error. Every reference i can find on the web is that the keystore does not have the required certificates installed. I know this is not the issue because i have never done this on my development environment where it works with no issues. However, to rule out the possibility i have used the keytool to import both certificates on the website i am attempting to connect to into the certificate store and still have the above cfdump. Also I have taken the certificate store from my development environment and replaced the one on my production machine with no change in the results either.

I am at a complete impasse at this point. I could really use some assistance. Both servers are Coldfusion 7.

Check out this thread and see if that helps: Using Keytool to Import SSL Certificates into Sun JDK

I appreciate the advice but as above I have done all keystore updates and they have no effect on this issue.

[dlasley]

Which version of the JDK, and which OS are you using on both sides (client and server)?

I actually just solved this issue this morning when i realized every computer but the server could see this url and cfhttp to it with no issues. It turned out after talking with my hosting provider they had a DNS entry for the url in question that did not match the IP address that was the real location of the URL. They have updated their DNS entries for the URL and now I am able to connect appropriately.

Ahh, that explains the "Filecontent Connection Failure" in your original post. Glad to hear you got it working.
