Nick,
Connecting to a ssl server is possible through JAVA ala JSSE and JDK1.2.
http://java.sun.com/products/jsse/
You should be able to modify your existing cfx tag to implement https
support.
Although I haven't had an occasion to use cfhttp with a https url I believe
that it was possible. Borrowing advice from David Watts you could use a
recording proxy to log the conversation between the servers. The two he
recommends are:
Stretch
http://www.kestral.com.au/devtools/
HTTPSniffer (requires Perl)
http://www.compansr.demon.co.uk/
Hope this helps.
