If you're using CF MX, you might try this one: http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/io-doc/intro.html I'm not sure what headers it sends by default; I think you can overwrite them all, but you probably can't get rid of any, just overwrite them. You should be able to send extra headers without causing harm to the CGI program you're calling, though, in an ideal world. I also don't know if you can specify HTTP 1.0 with it, either - it's really just a shot in the dark. > I'm almost to the point where I want to telnet through > an ssl proxy and write the stupid headers myself. Ideally, you could use something like Lewis Sellers' TCPClient COM object, except that it doesn't support SSL. There are non-free components that will let you do the same sort of thing. I imagine that you can manipulate sockets directly in Java and use SSL. I haven't a clue how to do it, though.
