If you are unable to put together what you need to make a direct
connection between CF and the db running on the HP box, you might
consider an indirect approach using WDDX:
CF Program
Assemble Progress DB Request statements
Serialize into WDDX Packet
Pass WDDX Packet To HP Stub using CFHTTP
HP Stub
Receive request for stub from CF box invoke stub (Perl CGI Program)
Deserialize WDDX packet containing Progress DB request
Issue db request
Serialize results into WDDX packet
Display results (returns WDDX packet to CFHTTP request)
CF Program
Receive WDDX packet (CFHTTP Content)
Deserialize results WDDX Packet
Do Whatever
Now, this isn't the most elegant solution, but it works well if you
have limited traffic.
