Hmmm, not sure about your server admin's statement, but I don't know
if you've diagnosed your problem correctly. Just because the URL works
in your browser, it doesn't mean you've mimiced the server's call.
What you need to do is see what the response is when you call the URL
in a browser *on the server iteself.*

I would check the cfhttp tag reference on Macromedia's site after
verifiying that it really is ColdFusion.

http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p58.htm#wp1632966

The reason I say that is that 6.1 is a full overall of the previous
release, and implementation almost mirrors any and everything you can
do witih the JRE.

Barring all that, I think Lewis Sellers has a cfhttp replacement for windows:
