Hmm, it almost sounds like an intermittent network problem. Out of curiosity what if you set up a cfexecute to capture the results of a ping command to the remote server at the time it failed. If it turns out to be something low-level like that you might save some time trouble CFML that is just fine.
Also, if the error can be reproduced fairly easily, you can try setting up a packet sniffer (like WireShark) on your server to capture the traffic and see what is happening. You'd probably want to set up some pre-capture filters though-- capture files could get big pretty quick on a server with a lot of network traffic. ~Brad -------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFHTTP wierdness From: Jeff Langevin <[email protected]> Date: Thu, January 07, 2010 2:51 pm To: cf-talk <[email protected]> So I've got a production and a live server. Both running CF8, Win 2003 Server Standard Ed, IIS6. Both have the same code calling a remote, non-CF-based web service via a cfhttp call to an https URL. We are getting sporadic "Connection Failure" messages from cfhttp. This clearly isn't the old cfhttp_5 inability to connect to a secure site because it works normally. However, it the dev server can still often connect when the production server can't. Though we definitely sometimes experience the inability to connect on both sometimes. I've tried changing timeouts anywhere from 5 to 60 seconds. I now loop over the attempt to connect a bunch of times before showing an error message to the user. I know this is a shot in the dark, but I figured I would ask if anyone has experienced anything like this or has any thoughts. I'm also open to suggestions on how to try to diagnose the problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
