Its a compatibility issue, CF5 only supports 56 bit SSL and our new https server uses 128. I found the following doing a search at the Macromedia/CF knowledge base, so does anyone know of a patch to fix CF5?
>From Macromedia KB: ColdFusion 4.5 and 5: The cfhttp tag supports 56-Bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption Due to United States export limitations that were in effect when Macromedia ColdFusion Server 4.5.x and 5 were released, the cfhttp tag only supports 56-bit encryption. If you try to use 128-bit encryption you will get a communication failure error. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol developed by Netscape for secure message transmission over the Internet. The encryption is performed by a number of different cipher algorithms. When an SSL enabled client (browser) and SSL enabled Server communicate for the first time, they pick a cipher algorithm that they both support. Commonly used cipher algorithms include Export RC 2/RC4 40 and 128-bit encryption. You can use the cfhttp tag on a Secure Sockets Layer for negotiating secured transactions. Please note that currently the highest level of encryption supported is 56-bit. --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
