It's very easy to get the variables into the URL: <cfset merch_id = "2600490000003"> <cfset trans_id = "142124"> <cfhttp url="https://merch.server.com/webapp/ServerSide/Receipt/Verification?Merch_I d=#merch_id#&Trans_Id=#trans_id#&Request_Type=RECEIPT"></cfhttp> The "HTTP/1.0" header information will automatically be sent. I don't think that CFHTTP automatically sends a Host header, though. Typically, to send additional headers, you'd use CFHTTPPARAM to set the appropriate CGI variables. However, this requires sending a POST request rather than a GET request (one of the very silly limitations of CFHTTP, if I recall correctly). You might not actually need the Host header, though - servers handling HTTPS can't use host headers to differentiate between incoming requests, I don't think - at least, you can't do that in IIS. As for the Content-type header, the value you've got there is what you use to send typical form data to the server. You shouldn't need that header at all for a GET request, since there's no request body for which to specify a MIME type.
