Coldfusion 10 problem with cfhttp postype xml

[damankwa]

We are making a cfhttp call.

We are submitting xml data. We are able to send information from server A to server B, but server B is not giving us any response.

Our code works for coldfusion 8 and 9 but it does not work for coldfusionh 10.

This is the snippet of the code

<cfhttp method="post" url="#httpURL#" timeout="3000" useragent="#CGI.http_user_agent#" >

    <cfhttpparam type="XML" value="#xmlRequest#" name="CLRCMRC_XML" >

</cfhttp>

The contents from server B can be access by

<cfdump var="#cfhttp.FileContent#">.

Note This works in coldfusion 8 and 9 but we are not getting any data from server B using coldfusion 10

Could you show us the structure of the URL and how you create the variable xmlRequest?

Assuming server B is also on ColdFusion, is it using getHttpRequestData().content to access the XML contents?

[damankwa]

The url is an https call

Below is the xml data being sent to the other server.

I used your XML to run the following test. The test page uses cfhttp to post the XML to a CFC. It works as expected, returning the XML.

I solved the issue. The issue had something to do with a setting that returned via tcp/ip and not http.

[damankwa · Accepted solution]

Issue solved.

It was a  matter of changing this line

<REQUEST KEY="#companykey#" PROTOCOL="0" FMT="1" ENCODING="0">

to use PROTOCOL="1"

Glad to hear you solved it. Please mark the correct answer, as it will help someone else.
