Tried the following....
    - CF4.5 Dev to CF5 Dev (internal) - all ok
    - CF4.5 Dev to CF5 Live (internal to dmz) = all ok
    - CF4.5 Live to CF5 Dev (dmz to internal) = doesn't work
    - CF4.5 Live to CF5 Dev (dmz to dmz) = doesn't work
    - CF4.5 http request to script = Does work but goes **through** the
proxy (which is internal network and thus I'm not sure why their prod
server is going through the proxy)


After more discussions with infrastructure, they are now looking at the
rules going on between the interaction of the two servers as I am
running out of ideas for myself to try and thinking it _must_ be a
firewall/port issue..... it is their dmz server that just does not seem
to want to work with CFHTTP... but it handles the normal browser HTTP
request through the proxy.... so I am assuming that the CFHTTP is also
going through the proxy..... is this what is causing the failure?


Any recommendations if there is any other things I can try?


All help greatly appreciated.


Cheers,

Is it just me - or do I seem to remember that cf 4.5 only
supported 40 bit encryption? I had an issue like this waaay
back when and what sticks in my head is that 4.5 couldn't handle
the encryption level.

Anyway - I assume that you have verified that the URL can be
opened in a browser on that 4.5 server?  Can you ping the
address FROM the 4.5 server etc.  Get rid of all the potential
connection issues first - before jumping to the next
level.

  Hi all,

  Rephrase of a question from yesterday...

  Got a whole bunch of CF servers across the uni and only one of
them is
  CF4.5, all sitting in a DMZ.

  We have introduced a common login for LDAP and we can get all
the CF5
  servers to happily make a SSL CFHTTP POST call to the master
server...
  apart from the CF4.5 one which gives a 'Connection Failure'
error....

  The script in question sits on a CF5 server and is called
directly and
  uses cfldap to validate user against the LDAP.

  We can get this script to work between the servers on the
Internal
  Network, but as soon as it is put in the DMZ, it just stops
working...
  I've spent ages with the infrastructure geezers and they
cannot see any
  reason why the CFHTTP call would not work (and we can browse
to the
  script from the CF4.5 server no problem, so it does not *seem*
to be a
  HTTP problem)

  I notice in the technotes that it says that CFHTTP was vastly
improved
  when the 4.5 became 5.... from them

  - cfhttp no longer adds an extra carriage return after the
content
  length header when posting multi-part form data. (24915)
  Just about to give this a try, ie trimming all the form inputs
but feel
  it's a long shot in a 'Connection Failure' error

  -CFHTTP.STATUSCODE now works on the Windows version of
ColdFusion
  Server.
  Would this affect what we are trying to acheive?

  Argh.

  -dc
