Won't work... They can continue to use Windows Authentication, they just
have to also enable basic authentication (IIS gives you the option to use
both at the same time). The entire session is encrypted by SSL so there is
no disadvantage to using basic authentication as well.... If they absolutely
will not enable basic auth, you'll have to look into using the
MSXML.HTTPRequest object that is part of Microsoft's XML parser (I think
you'll need the 3.0 version...)
<CFSCRIPT>
objXMLReq = CreateObject("COM", "MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0");
objXMLReq.open("GET","http://www.google.com",false);
objXMLReq.send();
strResponse = objXMLReq.responseText;
</CFSCRIPT>
While this snippet doesn't include the username/password or HTTPS
attributes, it will handle both and can authenticate using Windows Auth.
There are some really nasty hoops to jump through to get it going, but it
will work... I'll dig around and see if I can find my scripts for this...

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!
