Connecting to UPS for rates and service selection right? CFHTTP is a no go on that one. You can't tweak the actual http header for the CFHTTP call (and the vars are URL Encoded, breaks UPS), though I'm pretty sure someone could write a wrapper class for either of these http clients to have it work with CFMX.
http://www.innovation.ch/java/HTTPClient/ http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/ This is something I've been tinkering around with for a while, but I fear that my lack of java experience is just going to be keeping me at that 'tinkering' stage for a while. Personally, even though the MSXML method works, seems like a lot of overhead now w/ the java extension of MX.

Pardon if this is WAY off, but it looks like basically all that MSXML COM action does is send the XML data as a form element. "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" - That's the default mime-type for HTML forms. If that's the case, you could just submit it as a <cfhttpparam> using <cfhttp>. If you're using CFMX then you don't even need the MSXML COM interface for creating XML strings either ... It could be done much simpler using CFMX and CFHTTP. From my experience the XML support in CFMX is miles beyond COM/MSXML.

It looks like you are trying to invoke a web service - I apologize I don't know much about MS COM / Soap stuff (other then it's more or less proprietary XML - as much as it can be). You might want to look at the 'soap' tag on the same site. Not sure how COM will work on Linux either.

The >CFX_XML uses java so it should run on real OS's. I actually don't need a way to parse the XML. I need a way to pass it to UPS.
