https connection issues using cfhttp
Hi Guys, I've been wrestling with a problem calling a SOAP Web Service using cfhttp. The endpoint is an https URL to a server IP, not a host name. We are running MX7. Initially when I tried connecting I got the usual error response from an untrusted authority source: ErrorDetail: I/O Exception: peer not authenticated Usually when this happens we download the certificate (DER format saved as a .cer file) from the site using a browser and add it to the Java SDK truststore using the keytool -import command in the jrun/jre/lib folder. This all went ok and I can see the certificate when I list them using the keytool - list... command. This changed the error response to: ErrorDetail: I/O Exception: Name in certificate `hub' does not match host name `187.141.14.122' My first issue is very common and usually easy to resolve, but the latter has caused a lot of head banging. What I can tell is that it seems to be self signed certificate and feel this might be part of the problem. Any ideas?

re: https connection issues using cfhttp
You are going to have to edit your hosts file and create a pointer for hub that directs it to 187.141.14.122. Then when you call the webservice, you'll use https://hub/...; to access it. I've been through this before as well and this should do it after you've imported the certificate from the site. -- Jeff Original Message From: Ian Chapman ian.chap...@melodimedia.co.uk Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2013 8:13 AM To: cf-talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Subject: https connection issues using cfhttp Hi Guys, I've been wrestling with a problem calling a SOAP Web Service using cfhttp.

RE: https connection issues using cfhttp
Hi Russ, When saving the file from Firefox it gets saved by default as HUB.cer. And that's what I imported into the keystore. I did as a test tried saving as 187.141.14.122.cer but the filename is obviously arbitrary so didn't help. When I look at the certificate in Windows it says issued to HUB and issued by HUB. But I'm not sure how you'd create a certificate issued from 187.141.14.122. This is the end point so you can see the certificate in question if it helps. https://187.141.14.122:443/asg/services/SubscribeProductService Regards, Ian. -Original Message- From: Russ Michaels [mailto:r...@michaels.me.uk] Sent: 17 January 2013 15:30 To: cf-talk Subject: Re: https connection issues using cfhttp Is the ssl cert actually for the ip address, the error says it is for hub Regards Russ Michaels www.michaels.me.uk www.cfmldeveloper.com - Free CFML hosting for developers www.cfsearch.com - CF search engine On Jan 17, 2013 3:12 PM, Ian Chapman ian.chap...@melodimedia.co.uk wrote: Hi Guys, I've been wrestling with a problem calling a SOAP Web Service using cfhttp.

Re: https connection issues using cfhttp
that is your problem then, the cert does not match the hostname. so here are the options 1. create a hosts entry as others have said 2. get the person running the web service to assign a domain or sub-domain to it and create a cert for that domain.

Re: WEBDAV Put using CFHTTP
Hi Charles, I just ran into the same problem as you described but in my case the webdav server is tied to the port 8086. Meaning, I am getting the Status code issue. Did you get to solve the issue? I am using CFMX 9.0 Thank you, Thanks, I was using the CFHTTPPARAM to put a file which is on the local file system to the WEBDAV host. This right now is not a web form just a simple cfm page. Thanks, - Charles I seem to be getting closer. I'm now getting a 409 Conflict. I really dont know much about the WEBDAV protocol. Does anyone know what a 409 Conflict is. It means that there's some reason why WebDAV can't accept the file. Maybe it's older than the one already there. Maybe you're providing incorrect parameters. Is there a reason why the name attribute of your CFHTTPPARAM contains the value base.xml? Typically, this contains the name of the formfield that contains the file the server's expecting to receive.

Re: using cfhttp
If you are checking for the site to be up, you may as well check that everything is working ok also.. What I do is use cfhttp to get my home page - but I add a special url parameter which tells my page to add an entire record from my user's database at the bottom of the page. (I use my own record so I know if I made any recent changes). I then compare that page to a copy I store in the database. (I mark changeable sections like my banner ad so I do not count that part of the page).. if it is different, I save the page into the database and send a text alert to my cellphone which tells me a change has been made.. along with a link to a page on my website which shows me the code view of the old version as well as the new version so I can see what has changed. This allows me to: 1. Know if the page is working 2. Know if the page has changed (as in the recent ftp hacks) 3. Know if the database was hacked 4.

Well, this really depends on how the site was written, I think. If you're writing something with CF, and someone makes an HTTP HEAD request, it's up to you to abort processing to prevent the execution of the page after generation of HTTP response headers. It's possible that the web server truncates the request anyway, and that behavior may be dependent on the specific web server for all I know, but you're typically more concerned (as the publisher) with reducing the amount of time needed to respond to the request.

I don't have time to test this myself, unfortunately, so I'll just give you the advice that I'd use to solve the problem myself. Visit the site in a browser, and use a sniffer to see exactly what gets sent and received. I use Wireshark for this sort of thing, but there are many (easier-to-use) alternatives. Then, within your CF code, emulate everything the browser is doing. Use your sniffer again to see exactly what's being sent, then change your code accordingly.

In this case, one should at least request the form page first. As mentioned previously, the form will have to be fetched anyway because it's an ASP.NET application that uses VIEWSTATE. So, the action page is going to need to read whatever value was set in the script that generated the form. But in any case, this would work the same way whether you're using a browser or not, so again, CFHTTP can access anything a browser on the same machine can access.

Issues using CFHTTP
Hi everyone, My websites has different types of profiles that our end users log into that follows a simply hierarchy that goes as follows. Administrator - Super Users - End Users Where all Super Users are managed by the Administrator and each Super User manages a subset of all End Users. Each profile is locked by a username and password from a login page. For debugging, auditing or support purposes sometimes it becomes very useful for the Administrator to log into the profile of one of his Super Users or for a Super User to log into one of his End Users profiles since each profile contains different landing pages and content. I'm trying to achieve this functionality without the need to look up that persons password (for obvious security reasons) so I've been toying around with different methods. My first thought was to use CFHTTP but I've had no luck with it. I thought I could simply do cfhttp url=mylogincheck method=post redirect=true cfhttpparam type=formfield name=username value=#username# cfhttpparam type=formfield name=password value=#password# /cfhttp and it would redirect me much like a cflocation does except with form data being posted, but I could get that desired behavior. I've gave up on this and did the following. cfoutput form action=mylogincheck method=post name=login input type=hidden name=username value=#username# input type=hidden name=password value=#password# script language=JavaScript document.login.submit(); /script /form /cfoutput Which works but I'm concerned this is a not the correct way and could possibly pose security issues since I'm technically creating an HTML page with someones password even though the page redirects instantly. Would anyone care to tell me what I'm doing wrong with CFHTTP or if alternatively, my concerns are unfounded and my solution is in fact secure.

Re: Issues using CFHTTP
You're approaching this in the wrong way, I think. Ideally what you'd do is take your existing security mechanism (whatever it is) and add the ability to spoof another user. So any Administrator could hit the I want to spoof page where they'd see a list of Super Users to pick from. When they pick you, manipulate your authentication store (probably in session variables) to indicate that the person is really still Administrator X, but the site should consider them to be Super User Y. The same mechanism would hold for the Super User - End User pairing. Here's a really simple example. I'm going to assume you have something like this currently: session.isAuthenticated (a boolean), session.userId (the identifier of the user who is authenticated), and session.userType (one of administrator, superUser, or endUser). When someone logs in, you do your checks, and set those three variables. Then the site reads those three variables in order to make decisions about what to render and how. In that case, you want to add session.baseUserId, and session.baseUserType that are initialized to the same as userId and userType on login, and which the site never read. Then somewhere add code like this: cfif listFind(administrator,superuser, session.baseUserType) GT 0 cfif session.userId EQ session.baseUserId !--- they can spoof, but they aren't currently --- a href=start_spoofing.cfmstart spoofing/a cfelse a href=stop_spoofing.cfmstop spoofing/a /cfif /cfif Those two pages (start_spoofing.cfm and stop_spoofing.cfm) should take care of setting/clearing session.userId and session.userType to allow the user to spoof someone else, without touching their real session state, which is stored in baseUserId and baseUserType. Obviously that's a really generic description, but hopefully it'll get you started down the right path. It overcomes a couple really important shortcomings with what you proposed as well. Namely, you don't have to render an arbitrary user's password out to other users (which is REALLY bad), and you don't even have to have the passwords in a readable format (which you really should never do). It also keeps your users with some connection to their real user context, even when they're emulating another user, so they can back out and return to normal without logging out and having to log back in as their normal user. cheers, barneyb On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 3:56 PM, Asaf Peleg a...@locusenergy.com wrote: Hi everyone, My websites has different types of profiles that our end users log into that follows a simply hierarchy that goes as follows.

Using CFHTTP to grab a Google News RSS feed
Hi, I have a function that has loon worked just fine and recently stopped. It hangs when it tries to access news.google.com using CFHTTP. Does anyone know if something changed at google to cause this problem.

Re: WEBDAV Put using CFHTTP
You are most likely not doing anything wrong. cfhttp request to https are a real pain!!! Coldfusion is most likely not reading your SSL cert correctly and the error sucks! Well, technically, it doesn't have to do with CF not reading the cert correctly. For a certificate to be accepted, from CF or from a browser, there has to be a corresponding trusted root certificate. Each browser comes installed with a relatively large set of public trusted root certificates from Verisign, Thawte and other vendors. CF does not come with a large set of trusted root certificates, since it's not a browser, and you have to install the appropriate trusted root certificate yourself.

RE: Submit ASP form using CFHTTP
They might be setting some cookies initially and also a session id of sorts. What you may need to do is hit their 'form' page once and capture the cookies (just dump the cfhttp scope after an initial hit and you can find them there - I think http-cookie scope, not sure). Then you will need to include those when you make the call to the form processor page. It will take some finagling, but you should be able to do it.

Re: Submit ASP form using CFHTTP
You can't pass these values directly... think of it as a series of steps. Request the page, parse out the necessary information (viewstate, event validation), pass them into the next request. Get a fiddler trace of an actual request that you make in a browser, and use the event target, event argument values from that trace to pass in your second request.

RE: Extract text from webpage content using cfhttp
If you are creating the templates that are generating the HTML then you can make it very easy on yourself by wrapping the text blocks in some kind of marker that you can find in the cfhttp.filecontent later. Maybe wrap it in something like !- [BEGIN TEXT TO GRAB] -- This is the text you want indexed !-- [END TEXT TO GRAB] -- Then in cffile.filecontent, search for blocks of text between the two comment blocks. -Original Message- From: Anthony Webb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2008 1:04 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Extract text from webpage content using cfhttp I need to index web page contents for doing verity (or similar) searching.

Re: Extract text from webpage content using cfhttp
I wrote a website 'ripper' that I'll release someday... it's nice. But it sounds like you're not doing anything as complex as what I was doing, you may just use... hmm... I can't find it right now, but there's a java class that does a pretty good job of converting HTML to plain text. If that's your only requirement, (although how would you highlight and whatnot if you didn't have the rest? It would look funky, I mean) there are several ways to transform- oh, an XSL or something! That's really easy too. Assuming the content is sorta basically well-formed, which would make an ass outta me for doing, were I to do so.

Re: Error using CFHTTP
Does this mean that the return value is ;URL Interface? No, but apparently you are using CFHTTP to create a query, and the first line on the file contains the column names. The problem is that URL Interface is not a valid name for CF, because of the space it contains. Use the attribute COLUMNS to overwrite those in line on, and use valid names. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

RE: Using CFHTTP to login
No, you must check with the original login form on the .NET application. Here is how I check with the original login form on the .Net app. 1. Delete all cookies 2. Go to login form in .Net. 3. View cookie: There is a cookie ASP.NET_SessionId=4mnaix453yw12h55ox3myn45 4. DELETE that cookie 5. Click Submit 6. View Cookie: Two cookies: ASP.NET_SessionId=n4dg3azlmh4ga1mm2wnmmq55 (note: different value) and .ASPXAUTH=314508822A3EDF0... 7. Log off then view cookie: There is only ASP.NET_SessionId=n4dg3azlmh4ga1mm2wnmmq55 but .ASPXAUTH=314508822A3EDF0... does not exist. The thing that is weird is that, with cookies disabled, the login action will fail. The question then is how does the login action know that cookies are disabled? I thought that this is the key but I don't have the answer. :( I am 100% sure but I think that the thing which you asked me to disable cookie and try to login using login form is a very important which gave us the reason why login with cfhttp failed. You told me that the login fails when cookies are disabled, but what if they are enabled, but Javascript is disabled ? The login action is working well with JS disabled and cookie is enabled. Finally, is there an address (and some code + password) I could use to test the real application by myself? I would be more than happy to give you one when I get a new testing account.

Re: Using CFHTTP to login
The reason is the html form (login1.cfm) is working well and I try to simulate the login process exactly as we login as that html form. Yes, but you are doing it from your browser. If the login procedure uses tricks to detect if the form really comes from a browser, or from a server, they may use some other characteristics you didn't think of. remember you asked me to try to disable cookie and submit the form that works? I got the same screen as I do with cfhttp which is login form WITHOUT any error message. I would suggest that the problem might be is the asp.net think that the cookie is disabled and the login process does not happen. I think this is it indeed. There must be something not perfect in the way you return the cookies to the .Net application. I would concentrate my efforts on this. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

Re: Using CFHTTP to login
Yes, but you are doing it from your browser. Another try: When you call the login action from your CF login form, the request is actually sent by your browser. Then, if may have some cookie in it set previously by the server, it will recognize it and the login is accepted. When calling from CFHTTP, you don't have these cookies, and the login fails. Now, can you try again your CF login form just after having erased all your cookies. If some check cookie was set initially by the normal login form, your CF form should fail now.

Now, can you try again your CF login form just after having erased all your cookies. If some check cookie was set initially by the normal login form, your CF form should fail now. Then you know what you have to look for. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

Re: Using CFHTTP to login
2- Go to http://localhost/SingleLogin/login.cfm (which is the login form) 3- View Cookies: There is a cookie has been written by CF with CFID, No, you must check with the original login form on the .NET application. The CF template you've made does not set any cookie (except the one set by CF). The idea is the check if the ORIGINAL login form in the .NET application sets a cookie, because this is the one you must fake when you simulate the login form by CFHTTP. The thing that is weird is that, with cookies disabled, the login action will fail. The question then is how does the login action know that cookies are disabled? The only way I have in mind is that the action will verify the presence of a cookie set by the form. There is also a Javascript property cookieEnabled that the system can also check. You told me that the login fails when cookies are disabled, but what if they are enabled, but Javascript is disabled ? Finally, is there an address (and some code + password) I could use to test the real application by myself? -- ___ REUSE CODE!

Re: Using CFHTTP to login
You know in the amount if time it is taking to debug a your single sign in, and you haven't even touched the SP side of things yet. You would have been better of looking at ADS (Active Directory Services) or apaches equivalant. Or even look at a 3rd part solution where they deal in this all the time. All your headache so far is one way. Of course I am assuming that the asp.net application is yours to login into, if it isn;t then you better check with the onwer of the website to make sure you are not breaking any of their conditions to the website.

Re: Using CFHTTP to login
Adrian, *LOL* *LOL* I think the dude knows that. Michael, your problem lies with the fact you are connecting to the form page. That is not what you need to do. What you nned to do is connect to the processing page that the form is connecting to, and using cfhttp the way you are pass the username and password but not the submit button. So, if the asp.net page as you have the form page is connecting (submitting) to the /abc.asp then that is where your cfhttp needs to point too, with the same fields as the username and password field that is being inouted on the asp.net form.

I'm not sure if there's a way to maintain a login using the CFHTTP client. - Original Message - From: Michael Nguyen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 10:37 AM Subject: Using CFHTTP to login Hi everyone, I am still struggling with using cfhttp to log in into an ASP.NET app. The weird thing is when I used the normal html form (see bellow) then I could log in successfully: form method=post action=http://www.mycompany.com/Login.aspx; name=form1 input name=CompanyCode type=hidden maxlength=12 value= ccode / input name=UserEmail type=hidden maxlength=60 value= [EMAIL PROTECTED] / input name=UserPassword type=password maxlength=50 value= password/ input type=submit name=SigninBtn value=Login / /form However, when I use cfhttp (bellow) to login then I could not log in: cfhttp url=http://www.mycompany.com/Login.aspx; method=post resolveurl=yes port=80 redirect=yes useragent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv: 1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7 cfhttpparam type=formfield name=CompanyCode value=ccode/ cfhttpparam type=formfield name=UserEmail value=[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ cfhttpparam type=formfield name=UserPassword value=password/ cfhttpparam type=formfield name=SigninBtn value=Login/ /cfhttp Can anyone tell me how differently the asp.Net treats to these above two approaches and why I couldn't login when using cfhttp? Any help is appreciated.
