"I'm pretty sure it's related to the fact that I'm trying to make a secure request (SSL), and maybe since I'm on my local development machine and thus don't have a local SSL setup on my end as well it's causing problems (maybe?)."
Yes, most likely. If you have a self signed cert, you can add it to the java keystore on the CF server to have CFHTTP make successful SSL calls to a page using that cert. Your other options are to use a real, valid cert and some hosts file magic to make the request remain local but use the real domain (that the cert was issued to) Or... just stop using SSL for testing. .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

I/O Exception: peer not authenticated Hey all, I'm trying to make a cfhttp call to a secure url (the API for http://spreedly.com) and this is what I keep getting back: ErrorDetail I/O Exception: peer not authenticated Filecontent Connection Failure Mimetype Unable to determine MIME type of file. Statuscode Connection Failure. Status code unavailable. I'm pretty sure it's related to the fact that I'm trying to make a secure request (SSL), and maybe since I'm on my local development machine and thus don't have a local SSL setup on my end as well it's causing problems (maybe?). I've been Googling around on it and this seemed like the most relevant article: http://australiansearchengine.wordpress.com/2011/01/19/cfhttp-io-exception-p eer-not-authenticated-error/#comment-1860 I did what he suggested by downloading and placing their cert in my CF9 directory structure, but no luck. Seen anything like this? Thanks!
