Re: [KCFusion] CFHTTP hopeless with proxy?
Keith, Is this a http connection or https? If https then you may need addtional steps - such as security policy set up etc. In general, firewall issues can be complex - in some cases you must work with the ISP, and they are typically reluctant to divulge any information that may breach security. If you can divulge the URL, I may be able to do some remote tests myself. Girish __ The KCFusion.org list and website is hosted by Humankind Systems, Inc.

RE: [KCFusion] CFHTTP hopeless with proxy?
It's an HTTP connection, and I'm the administering the firewall, so I've got a lot of control. I've done more testing using HTTPConnection.setProxyServer, as recommended in the docs. But CF server doesn't like that, and tells me it can't determine the value of the parameter. A little bizarre, since it correctly processed the CFOBJECT and then went on to correctly process the httpConn.init insided CFSCRIPT. Like I said, I know nothing about Java, so it's likely I'm making a basic mistake.

Before I give up on CFHTTP, I'll offer this description of my problem and hope for a solution. We run CF5 on NT4 SP6a. It's a private server hosting our intranet. I built a simple template that would use CFHTTP to go out through our proxy server and test one of our public sites to make sure it was up and running. If not, it notifies me. Then I scheduled the template to run once an hour in the CF Admin. The template works fine if I use my browser to access it.

The process only fails when the Scheduler tries to call the template, and CFHTTP tries to get past the proxy. There are a number of related threads on this in the Allaire forums.

I approached someone in the forum who had written their own solution, but they didn't want to send me a copy. Just as frustrating, I can't find any record of these failures in the proxy log!

RE: [KCFusion] CFHTTP hopeless with proxy?
I'll check that out, and let you know. Thanks!

I once got a Java http client working from within CF. Here's what I did to get it working: 1. Download the HTTPClient class files (.zip) from http://www.innovation.ch/java/HTTPClient/ 2. Extract to C:\jdk1.3\jre\lib\HTTPClient 3. Add C:\jdk1.3\jre\lib\ as Class Path in CF Admin 4. Run following CF code: cfobject action = Create type = Java class = HTTPClient.HTTPConnection name = httpConn cfscript httpConn.init(www.windsorcs.com); response=httpConn.Get(/); content=response.getText(); /cfscript cfoutput #content# /cfoutput Voila! (I wonder why the method is called Get(), instead of get()...) - Original Message - From: Keith Purtell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: KCFusion (E-mail) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 9:31 AM Subject: [KCFusion] CFHTTP hopeless with proxy? Before I give up on CFHTTP, I'll offer this description of my problem and hope for a solution. We run CF5 on NT4 SP6a. It's a private server hosting our intranet. I built a simple template that would use CFHTTP to go out through our proxy server and test one of our public sites to make sure it was up and running. If not, it notifies me. Then I scheduled the template to run once an hour in the CF Admin. The template works fine if I use my browser to access it. However, called my the Scheduler, this template always fails to get past the proxy server, and instead returns 407 Proxy Authentication Required. I have established a user account on the proxy server and made sure to use the same username and password as I put in the tag. I have also checked the username/password used inside the Scheduler, and the username/password used by CF. The process only fails when the Scheduler tries to call the template, and CFHTTP tries to get past the proxy. There are a number of related threads on this in the Allaire forums. But the only solutions people have found were to either write their own CFX, or purchase the $150 Mabry HTTP/X and a related $50 custom tag. I can't do either right now. I approached someone in the forum who had written their own solution, but they didn't want to send me a copy. Just as frustrating, I can't find any record of these failures in the proxy log!
