I've never gotten CFHTTP to work with our proxy. I finally got the sysadmins to put a rule in to allow the webserver passage without the proxy (actually required a hole in the firewall for request traffic from the server). I think that the issue is that CFHTTP doesn't authenticate against the proxy. Username and Password are, I believe, for basic authentication against a website, not the proxy. If your proxy doesn't require authentication then it might work. If anyone has other insights into this I'd love to hear them as well!
The other option you might want to look into if you are running on a Windows platform, is the XML.HTTPRequest object. It's part of the Microsoft XML package in version 3.0 and greater. It has better methods for navigating proxies and firewalls and functions similarly to CFHTTP. Although it won't resolve URLs in the page. You'll have to write a regex to add in the FQDN to each relative link. There is significant setup to get it working with proxy servers and HTTPS connections, but you might have better luck with it? Good Luck!

We plan to make it relevant to the user's location. It will be small and non-intrusive, and a motivator for employees to make the Intranet their browser Home. Company stock quote is also planned for displaying the company stock price thru-out the day. I still can't get CFHTTP using proxyserver to get a page outside our firewall. Anyone have experience getting that situation to work? I need help.
