I have a process that interacts with encrypted pages on the house.gov website.
Everything was working fine until a few days ago. It appears that there is a
DNS problem with house.gov though sub-domains including "www" are fine. IE
throws an error when going to house.gov while firefox redirects to the www.
HTTPS addresses at house.gov with a sub-domain work fine in all browsers but CF
(Java?) can't access them any longer. Below is some quick test code where you
can see the response from ColdFusion and click to see the browser response.
Any ideas or options here? Hopefully house.gov magically starts working soon
and fixes this. Not getting this working will mean a lot of manual work. Thanks
for any help
