Barry, The problem is that the http agent being used is not being authorized by the firewall. No traffic will pass through the firewall on any port unless it has valid login. I've tried to get http to work before through the firewall with no luck.
Firewall is Microsoft ISA server Brian -----Original Message----- From: Beattie, Barry Sent: Friday, 31 October 2003 7:32 AM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] CFHTTP and firewalls (was screen scraping) Rod, that's a good question. What can I tell you? Now I know CFHTTP works fine internally (to scrape an intranet site) but try to access an external site and I get "connection refused". Sadly, I'm not privvy to much info on how our network is set up so anything I need to know, I have to "reverse engineer". is this normal? that CFHTTP can get blocked by proxies or firewalls? I thought the request would be on port 80 so it won't matter. But it could also explain why I can't consume external RSS feeds from within the internal network. thanx barry.b -----Original Message----- From: Rod Higgins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 30 October 2003 5:20 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: screen scraping > no, the CFHTTP answers were correct (thought so!). the trouble I was having > was getting past the firewall. try it with an intranet site and it works.
