Thanks again Jeff. FYI - That resource that you've sites for CF went dead a LONG time ago. I posted a comment in their forum in 2007 (which had a total of 2 posters) and it never got any responses. I also found their code to be unusable and documentation poor.
The odd thing here is that my headers are clearly working fine as I have been able to build campaigns using this submission method (cfscript). But when I hit the more complex data structure required to build an AdGroup - it seems to bomb. It seems isolated to the nested data struct newData. Are there any examples of an addAdGroup request for ColdFusion around?
