CFHTTP Connection Failure

[nerd]

For some reason all of our CFHTTP tags have been returning "Connection Failure" for the past couple of days.  In the past week, we haven't changed any relevant code, we haven't changed any settings in the CF admin, and we haven't changed any settings or hardware on the servers.

So I'm thinking it's either a network issue, an ISP issue, or (most likely) a firewall issue (our firewall has always been buggy).  But why would it only be affecting CFHTTP?  I can go to one of our CF servers and use internet explorer to browse the web.  Why would IE be able to make HTTP requests, and CF not be able to make HTTP requests?  How do CFHTTP requests differ from HTTP requests created by a web browser?

Any ideas?  We're using CF5 server on Windows 2000.

Thanks, jim
