Hi,
I am just trying to do this myself and getting a problem with the next st
ep.
At the next step the ePDQ server calls my server and submits some info
saying that the transaction has worked or failed.
The data is (apparently) sent in binary so cant be read with Form variabl
es.
The example in their docs is as follows:
<HTML>
<BODY>
<%
' Constant/Vars for log file processing
const ForAppending = 8
Dim strData
Dim fs, strPath, TestFile
' Create a text file for the response
strPath = Server.MapPath("CGIResult.txt")
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set TestFile = fs.OpenTextFile(strPath,ForAppending,true)
TestFile.Write "ePDQ CPI Result data - received on: " & Date() & " " &
Time() & vbCRLF
Response.Write "Test file is " & strPath
' Try and extract the binary representation of the data
' The normal Request.Form will not work here
Dim strFullPostData
Dim biRawData
Dim nIndex
Dim astrPostDataElements
Dim strPostData
' Put down the details we will be extracting
TestFile.Write "The size of the CPI post is: " & vbCRLF
TestFile.Write Request.TotalBytes & vbCRLF
' Extract binary data
biRawData = Request.BinaryRead(Request.TotalBytes)
' Now change binary data into something more readable
For nIndex = 1 to LenB(biRawData)
strFullPostData = strFullPostData &
Chr(AscB(MidB(biRawData,nIndex,1)))
Next
' We now have a raw string containing CPI data - first extract individ
ual
vars
astrPostDataElements = Split(strFullPostData, "&")
' Finally, output the info
TestFile.Write "Data extracted from CPI post is: " & vbCRLF
Dim astrPostElements
For Each strPostData in astrPostDataElements
' Output the raw data first
TestFile.Write strPostData & vbCRLF
' Split up and prepare the field name and data
astrPostElements = Split(strPostData, "=")
' Output the details
TestFile.Write "Which translates to Field Name: " &
astrPostElements(0) & vbCRLF
TestFile.Write "and Field Data: " & astrPostElements(1) & vbCRLF
Next
' And we are done - close the file
TestFile.Close
%>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The Key part is that biRawData = Request.BinaryRead(Request.TotalBytes)
is
used to get the data.
We assumed that that
<cfset x=GetHttpRequestData()>
would work the same way but this allways seems to be empty when accessed
by
Barclays machine.
We tried Barclays simulated Form and buit our own form which uploads a jp
g
file both have data which gets successfully read but not the live server.
I am told that the live server may be sending the wrong content type. Doe
s
anyone have any ideas about how to resolve this ?

Thanks for the mails.
I talked to Barclays EPDQ and they said that yes, you can use Coldfusion
but
they won't support it as nobody there knows anything about it. In fact
nobody there knows anything apart from Perl or ASP so that's handy!
Anyhow, they gave me the following code and said 'if you can translate th
at
to CF then you can use that'.
<%
Const Request_POST = 1
Const Request_GET = 2
Set objTear = CreateObject("SOFTWING.ASPtear")
On Error Resume Next
Response.ContentType = "text/html"
Dim strEPDQ
strEPDQ = objTear.Retrieve( _
"http://secure2.epdq.co.uk/cgi-bin/CcxBarclaysEpdqEncTool.e";, Request_PO
ST,
_ "clientid=3&password=pd&chargetype=Auth¤cycode=826&tota=
1.23", "",
"")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Response.Write "<b>"
If Err.Number >= 400 Then
Response.Write "Server returned error: " & Err.Number
Else
Response.Write "Component/WinInet error: " & Err.Description
End If
Response.Write "</b>"
Response.End
End If
%>
<FORM action="https://secure2.epdq.co.uk/cgi-bin/CcxBarclaysEpdq.e";
method="POST">
<%= strEPDQ %>
<INPUT type="hidden" name="returnurl" value="http://www.store.co.uk
/">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="merchantdisplayname" value="My Store">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="purchase">
</FORM>
Now, I'm not an ASP person whatsoever but to my layman eye this looks lik
e a
job for a simple CFHTTP tag.
Am I right?

When they say they no longer accept connections from cf sites did they sa
y
why is it for technical reasons?
Judging from some text on their site:
"using the HTTP "POST" protocol from a known fixed URL to the server usin
g
128 bit SSL. The storefront must also be capable of handling data returne
d
from ePDQ via the HTTP "POST" protocol."
You just need to securely post the details to one of their servers. Do th
ey
actually check to determine if it was posted from a cf site? Perhaps they
have had problems receiving posts from cf sites using cfhttp?
