That's the issue....they refuse to disable Windows authentication...the
connection worked perfectly when they did....the quote from my client:

"Windows NT Challenge/Response--in simplistic terms is the user id/password
that must be authenticated.  We cannot turn this off, as that is what
controls your authentication (entering your user id/password) to get to the
machine......This authentication must be in place, and your application must
be able to find a way to make it work"


Here's the CFHTTP statement I'm using:
<CFHTTP URL="https://theirserver.com/theirscript.asp"; METHOD="post"
THROWONERROR="Yes" TIMEOUT="30" COLUMNS="#get.columnlist#" PORT="443"
USERNAME="username" PASSWORD="password">

Ideas??

HTTPS is no problem for CFHTTP.  Just make sure to include the correct port
number (443).  As for the authentication, make sure that they are only using
Basic Authentication.  ColdFusion cannot authenticate using Digest or
Windows authentication.  Perhaps you could show us your CFHTTP statement?

Subject: CFHTTP POST - authentication issue


I am trying to post a form to a client's server (WIN2K,IIS) using CFHTTP.
The process works great - until they enable the login/password on their
server.

Is there any other method to do this transfer automatically utilizing CF? or
JS? (Must use SSL and authenticate via login/password to their server.)

TIA!
