Just thought I would post my own answer for the benefit of others. The 302 redirect
was not carrying the cookies forward, so I cut it off and set the cookies manually in
a second cfhttp call. Here's my solution:
<cfhttp throwonerror="no" redirect="no" url="#request.GAfullpath#?#client.postinfo#"
method="get">
<cfscript>
// parse the set-cookie header to pull out the cookie values
cookie1 = cfhttp.responseheader["set-cookie"]["1"];
strstart = find("uid",cookie1) + 4;
strend = find(";",cookie1,strstart);
uid = mid(cookie1,strstart,strend-strstart);
cookie2 = cfhttp.responseheader["set-cookie"]["2"];
strstart = find("sid",cookie2) + 4;
strend = find(";",cookie2,strstart);
sid = mid(cookie2,strstart,strend-strstart);
</cfscript>
<cfhttp method="get" url="#request.GAserver##cfhttp.responseheader["LOCATION"]#"
throwonerror="no" redirect="no">
<cfhttpparam name="getanswers/lpext.dll/uid" type="COOKIE" value="#uid#">
<cfhttpparam name="getanswers/lpext.dll/sid" type="COOKIE" value="#sid#">
</cfhttp>
And now i get back the response I expected.
