Hi Rick, There is no reason why this should not work via the CFC method or even via the direct ajax method. Some gateways however restrict access to approved IPs, so the ajax method, originating from the end user IP may not work directly, which is why you probably want to route it through a CFC. The CFC method is the best option anyways, because otherwise you would need to do 2 ajax requests to talk to Authorize and then send the results to your server. You should just call a CFC (via ajax), your CFC should post to Auth.net and then return record the result and return to the client.
If your transactions are getting approved via your CFHTTP post, then you should be getting a result. What do you see when you dump the cfhttp.fileContent result? I have some authorize.net code you can look at that uses CFHTTP, just email me off list and I'll send it to you. Its nothing special though.. just a CFHTTP post and some list parsing code to parse the result...

Ok... next question. Can a jQuery ajax function be used to send post variables to a component method and have a cfhttp function post those variables to another domain, in this case, https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll ??? I'm at my wits end trying to process form data into two parts. The data fields that can go to authorize.net and the parts that need to stay with me and go into my database. Authorize.net forbids personally identifiable info from going into the merchant-defined fields. Ergo, I need to post some of the form data to Authorize.net and if a transaction is approved, post some of that info (not CC numbers, etc) to my database, along with other info not pertinent to the transaction, such as "in honor of" etc. The easiest way I thought to do this was to use AJAX and submit some of the data that way (I couldn't get a straight jQuery AJAX post to work...couldn't get a response from the Authorize.net server, although the transaction was successful) and I haven't been successful getting the form values with jQuery AJAX and posting them to Authorize.net by send the form values via AJAX to a CFC method, which utilizes CFHTTP for the post. No response from the Authorize.net server. If you know this will work, Ray, how much would it cost you to guide me through a solution. I have a patient client, but this needs to get done. I'm at the point now where I'm either considering going to session variables or just putting all the post variables into a temp table in a database, then processing the transaction, and, if successful, putting the transaction data into a permanent table. I just can't seem to work up a solution from everything I've read (which is all I could find) and everyone that would discuss this with me, including calling Authorize.net, who said "we don't support developers..." Can it be done? Can you do it? If so, how much to guide me through it? Still have my hair, but not for long!
