I believe that the HTTP 1.1 specification recommends, but does not require, that the url, cookie, and form posts be URL encoded. ColdFusion 4.5.x did not conform to the recommendations, but ColdFusion 5.0 does. Check the content-type header on the HTTP Request, I believe its CONTENT_TYPE=application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
The workaround is to operate on the name/value pairs with some implementation of urldecode() on the receiving end. -----Original Message----- From: Bud [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 7:20 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFHTTP still and again OK. Macromedia convinced me that they did the correct thing with CF 5.0 and fixed cfhttp to be http 1.1 compliant by encoding the form variables. Now I've hit a snag where I'm submitting form variables in CF 5 and the variables are being encoded along with the values. Example, the body of the post, which should look like this (according to the payment gateway tech folks)... &Field_1=value1&Field_2=value2 looks like this... &Field%5F1=value1&Field%5F2=value2 Note the underscores are being url encoded. So which is right? Should the entire POST be encoded or just the values? The tech folks say they have NEVER received a form post with the variable names encoded before.
