Same problem here, so it's not just you. My money is it's an SSL issue, since you've established that the server is up. There's a kb article on CF5's inabilty to do 128 bit ssl on the Macr site somewhere...
CFHTTP sucks all around though in 5, and they didn't fix it all the way in MX so I'm very bitter about that damn tag. So forgive me if I ramble on about it's suckiness. I've spent the last two weekends working on a java replacement for cfhttp, since I wan't to move away from using COM when we go to MX. Lucky for me I discovered that Sun included JSSE in version 1.4 of the JRE. I've got it working for http and https gets so far. Next weekend I get it to do posts.
