Title: RE: CFHTTP

David,

 

The issue here (from the original post) was trying to determine why the CFHTTP command was not working properly.  Those of us who were attempting to help the original poster, are not getting 404 errors.  Please try to remember that this is a ColdFusion list and people who post here are trying to get answers as to why their ColdFusion code is not working.

 

There historically have been some problems with CFHTTP.  As an example, if the server you are trying to access has challenge-response turned on, CFHTTP will not work.

 

What is the version of CF being run?  If it is prior to CF 4.5 SP2, you may indeed be dealing with a problem server.

The browser has nothing to do with it.  I took the URL in question and placed it in a script I wrote using the Microsoft.XMLHTTP component and it retrieves the correct data.  There are other components out there that can do this (ASPHTTP for example, and it does not require ASP to be used - only COM compliant clients) but they are not equal.  What happens is certain urls in the Response Text are not resolved properly in the Inet feed from the site

(in this case, http://expatonline.community.everyone.net/community/scripts/director ) and the resultant text becomes a 404 error or something else just as cryptic.  Perhaps you should look into using anoth method to make your HTTP feeds? (like Microsoft.XMLHTTP or some other Inet server)

I tried that and it still did not work for me.

 

Just out of curiosity, what browser are you using?

Take out resolveurl="yes"  it will work then.
