Re: CFHTTP Raw Request
Hi Steve, Thanks for the suggestion. I've never used Fiddler before. Are there any special configurations to watch a cfhttp request? Thanks, Donnie Carvajal If you are doing this on a developer machine, install fiddler. Then you can watch everything the request and response and look at the raw outputs. It has saved me multiple times from pulling my hair out.

RE: CFHTTP Raw Request
It's just a program that when run will sit between the browser and the world outside the computer (internet, intranet, etc). It displays what is going in and out. It's an easy install and adds piece to IE/Chrome/Firefox as well as installing the App. You just run it and use your web browser. If you are working with HTTPS/SSL/TLS then there is a way to set it up to track that data as well (Technically a man in the middle, but you are doing it to yourself so it's ok).

Re: Writing an Apache 404 Handler in CF
Hi Jon, thanks for the reply!
I'm far from an expert on Apache; in my httpd.conf, I don't seem to have any
rewrite rules at all. Where would I put these? Inside the virtualHost section
for my redirect app?
If it helps any, we're running Railo 4.2.1 on Tomcat 7, not sure if that
affects the Apache config.
Thanks a bunch!
Rob
Youve likely got a rewrite rule passes everything that is not a
document to CF for handling. Im guessing you have a friendly URL
setup that routes everything through index.cfm, which is why the
redirect is taking place. Something like this is probably the
culprit:
#These are handled by Apache and not by CF
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.
(bmp|gif|jpe?g|png|css|js|txt|xls|ico|swf)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [NC,L]
#Everything else is handled by Coldfusion
RewriteRule ^$ index.cfm [QSA,NS]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.cfm/%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L,NS]
If you change the rule for static files to include .aspx, then Apache
will handle that 404 as usual:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.
(aspx|bmp|gif|jpe?g|png|css|js|txt|xls|ico|swf)$
HTH,
Jon

I've written a custom 404 handler for Apache. The handler looks at
the
incoming URL (cgi.request_url), queries a database table, and
responds by
redirecting the visitor to the new URL. What should happen:
www.mysite.co.uk gets redirected to www.mysite.com
That much works fine. But when we get to more complex urls:
www.mysite.co.uk/contact.aspx should go to www.mysite.com/contact/
Something (Apache?) is stripping out the contact.aspx portion of it
so I
can't tell where to send the user. In fact, what's happening instead
is
contact.aspx is replaced with index.cfm (the name of the 404
handler). No
other variables returned in the CGI scope contain the contact.aspx
part of
the url.
Of course, we have the domain to be redirected pointed at this
server via
DNS, and configured in Apache, since the simple versions of the URL
work
fine.
Is there a configuration setting or something to get it to stop
stripping
out the rest of the url? Thanks!

RE: CFHTTP Raw Request
Donnie, you will need a sniffer on the server to see any HTTP request from CF. If you are doing local development (where cf is installed on your laptop or desktop) then that's where your proxy/sniffer needs to live. CFHTTP is technically not a browser request - just a straight HTTP request using tcp. I use wireshark for this - fiddler is more of a browser plugin - or at least, it proxys it's data to a browser. I suspect it could work for cfhttp request -just not positive as I've never tried it. Steve's suggestion is a good one and fiddler (or Charles) is a great addition to your toolkit but it may not work in this specific instance.

I prefer Fiddler to Wireshark for this because it's purely focused on HTTP/HTTPS and a lot easier to read. However, you have to configure clients to use it as a proxy.

RE: CFHTTP Raw Request
Ah... so you would have to use the proxy/port attributes of the cfhttp tag. I see how that would work. On the plugin install it sets that up for you with the browser.

XMLRPC Request with CFHTTP
I'm having an issue with a XMLRPC webservice using CFHTTP. I am getting text/html responses instead of xml. A successful non-CFHTTP request's raw header are sends as POST /XMLRPC HTTP/1.0.

Re: XMLRPC Request with CFHTTP
Hi John, Thanks for the quick response. I don't believe this is helpful. I have the correct XML to send and it has been confirmed. The issue is with the web service interpreting my request and processing the XML. I believe the issue is in the header that CFHTTP creates.
