Have you installed CF 4.5.1 SP2 yet? I know we had a good deal of problems with CF 4.5 until we installed SP 2. Just a quick idea.

Hi all, sometime after IIS was patched recently on our host's server something went awry with CFHTTP... it's hard to explain... basically, when a CFHTTPPARAM value contains an ampersand ('&'), and the CFHTTP is POSTed to the CF server, the receiving CF template (fusebox, but this applies to standard templates too) gets very confused abut field names, and values, specifically, it takes the text in the _VALUE_ after the ampersand and thinks that is a field name. Obviously this is bad. I have tested this with our systems... here are the results... Apache & CF5 = normal IIS 4 (latest patch level) & CF4.5 = broken IIS 5 (latest patch level) & CF5 = normal Now I initially thought this would be an IIS problem, because I'm not fond of IIS really. But I setup a standard form which did the same thing as CFHTTP, that is posted the data to the receiving template, and it worked OK where CFHTTP didn't. I'm sure that the problem hasn't ALWAYS existed with IIS and 4.5 because I have only been made aware of it now as there have been 3 failures of this particular bit of code in the last 2 weeks and no similar failures in the 8 months since it was brought online. Anybody got any idea what could be the problem, or more importantly how I can work around it ?? Here is my test code (two files, testPOST.cfm and testPOST2.cfm, change the LocationOfTestPost2 in testPOST.cfm as appropriate)... == testPOST.cfm ============================================================================ ================ <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled</title> </head> <body> <CFSET LocationOfTestPost2 = "http://put.your.server.here/testPOST2.cfm";> <CFSET AccountDetails = StructNew()> <CFSCRIPT> AccountDetails.PrimaryDomain = "mrd.co.nz"; AccountDetails.Q_Hosting = QueryNew("blah,foo"); AccountDetails.DoHoDiskSpaceUnits = 0; AccountDetails.Q_Options = QueryNew("blah,foo"); // These are incase the user ordered the secure system option AccountDetails.SSAOptions = StructNew(); AccountDetails.SSAOptions.SSAContactName = "Blog Bar & Foo Bar"; AccountDetails.SSAOptions.SSAContactPhone = "123 4567"; AccountDetails.SSAOptions.SSAContactEmail = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; AccountDetails.SSAOptions.SSAUsername = "xxyyzz"; AccountDetails.SSAOptions.SSAPassword = "xxzzyy"; AccountDetails.SSAOptions.SSACustomerNumber = "DW-00631-C"; </CFSCRIPT> <CFWDDX ACTION="CFML2WDDX" INPUT=#AccountDetails# OUTPUT="Bork"> <CFHTTP METHOD="POST" URL="#LocationOfTestPost2#"> <CFHTTPPARAM TYPE="FORMFIELD" NAME="FuseAction" VALUE="addHostingTecTask"> <CFHTTPPARAM TYPE="FORMFIELD" NAME="TaOrderURL" VALUE="http://www.yahoo.com";> <CFHTTPPARAM TYPE="FORMFIELD" NAME="PayBy" VALUE="Cheque"> <CFHTTPPARAM TYPE="FORMFIELD" NAME="TaOrderID" VALUE="906"> <CFHTTPPARAM TYPE="FORMFIELD" NAME="TaCustomerLink" VALUE="DW-00631-C"> <CFHTTPPARAM TYPE="FORMFIELD" NAME="TaEditLinks" VALUE="yada.nada.nu"> <CFHTTPPARAM TYPE="FORMFIELD" NAME="TaComments" VALUE="#ParagraphFormat(HTMLEditFormat('blogger'))#"> <CFHTTPPARAM TYPE="FORMFIELD" NAME="AccountDetails" VALUE="#Bork#"> </CFHTTP> <CFOUTPUT>#CFHTTP.FileContent#</CFOUTPUT> <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="#LocationOfTestPost2#" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"> <CFOUTPUT> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="FuseAction" VALUE="addHostingTecTask"> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="TaOrderURL" VALUE="http://www.yahoo.com";> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="PayBy" VALUE="Cheque"> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="TaOrderID" VALUE="906"> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="TaCustomerLink" VALUE="#HTMLEditFormat('DW-00631-C')#"> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="TaEditLinks" VALUE="#HTMLEditFormat('yada.nada.nu')#"> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="TaComments" VALUE="#HTMLEditFormat(ParagraphFormat(HTMLEditFormat('blogger')))#"> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="AccountDetails" VALUE="#HTMLEditFormat(Bork)#"> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="SUBMIT" VALUE="SUBMIT"> </CFOUTPUT> </FORM> </body> </html> == testPOST2.cfm ============================================================================ ================ <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled</title> </head> <body> <CFSETTING SHOWDEBUGOUTPUT="Yes"> <CFOUTPUT>#FORM.FieldNames#</CFOUTPUT> <HR> <CFOUTPUT>#FORM.AccountDetails#</CFOUTPUT> <HR> </body> </html> ---------- James Sleeman Innovative Media Ltd Phone: (03) 377 6262 http://www.websolutions.co.nz/ CAUTION: The information contained in this email message is confidential and may be legally privileged.
