Have you verified that the URL in question still works?

Well, if there's a problem with name resolution or IIS virtual directories on the machine in question, those changes won't make a difference. As for the "suspicious" exception - there's nothing suspicious about it at all. CF includes quite a bit of code from Apache Java projects. That has nothing to do with the Apache web server except that it's also managed by the nonprofit Apache foundation.
