Connection failure error when using cfhttp to a asp.net site

[NocturnalQueen85]

Hi guys,

i've encountered connection failure error when using cfhttp to a asp.net site.

However, when i access the site on the browser it's working fine.

here is the codes:

<cfhttp url=" http://XXX/login.aspx" method="POST" port="443" multipart="NO" userAgent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)" resolveurl="YES" redirect="YES">
<cfhttpparam type="Header" name="Accept-Encoding" Value="*">
<cfhttpparam type="Header" name="TE" value="deflate;q=0">
<cfhttpparam type="Formfield" name="password" value="XXX">
<cfhttpparam type="Formfield" name="email" value="XXXX">
</cfhttp>


Pls help

thanks!

Could it be you are using port 443 which is the SSL port but your URL property is going to an HTTP not an HTTPS address?

If indeed you are posting to an HTTPS url and you are getting a connection failure it is because you need to import the destination sites' SSL certificate into your keystore. That is a real pain in the butt and I do not understand why you need to do that in Coldfusion.

sorry about the port=443. i was just trying out different codes to see whether it works.
there is no SSL thus no need for port=443.

and the thrid party said i must use POST and i tried using this code below and im still having the same problem.

this is my latest version of the code:

<cfhttp url=" http://XXX/login.aspx" method="POST" multipart="NO" userAgent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)" resolveurl="YES" redirect="YES">
<cfhttpparam type="Header" name="Accept-Encoding" Value="*">
<cfhttpparam type="Header" name="TE" value="deflate;q=0">
<cfhttpparam type="Formfield" name="password" value="XXX">
<cfhttpparam type="Formfield" name="email" value="XXXX">
</cfhttp>

pls help! thanks alot!

What about this:

<cfhttp url=" http://XXX/login.aspx" method="POST" resolveurl="YES" redirect="YES">
<cfhttpparam type="Header" name="Accept-Encoding" Value="deflate;q=0">
<cfhttpparam type="Header" name="TE" value="deflate;q=0">
<cfhttpparam type="Formfield" name="password" value="XXX">
<cfhttpparam type="Formfield" name="email" value="XXXX">
</cfhttp>

Do you mean you are still getting a "connection failure"?

[BKBK]

That looks like a contradiction to me.

[NocturnalQueen85]

no, there is no connection failure.
however, it points back to the login page of the third party so i concluded i still couldnt login.

thanks

Try to set redirect="NO" to see whether you are being redirected after the login page. You obviously do not need resolveurl="yes", even it doesn't hurt.

Assuming that everyhting else is correct, most likely you receive a re-direct response with cookie set. So that next page checks whether you logged-in or not. If so, you have to manually process that re-direct in order to provide cookie to the next page.

Then telling the forum you obtained "same error message" was quite misleading.

i pass in the cookies as header and now it works!

thanks!
