nice, I put in the utf-8 also I discovered I wasnt putting name into the cfhttpparam.
Then after consulting the company that owns the webservice, I discovered they wanted the xml as a post in a form field, so heres what I have now: <CFHTTP URL="http://stage.campaigntrack.com.au:8080/CtXml/Post.aspx"; port="8080" USERAGENT="McGrath/1.0" method="post"> <cfhttpparam name="XML" type="formfield" value="#request.xm#"/> </cfhttp> Problem solved.
