I don't think that Web Folders accept data through HTTP POST requests, but instead accept HTTP PUT requests. You can't generate a PUT request with CFHTTP, only GET and POST. You might be able to get it done with a third-party HTTP component, though. However, I've never tried to do this, so I can only speculate.
