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: Submit ASP form using CFHTTP
Dump out the responseHeader to see if any cookies are being set. cfdump var=#cfhttp.responseHeader# You can see the cookie(s) using this: cfoutput #cfhttp.responseHeader[Set-Cookie]# /cfoutput On Mon, Aug 11, 2008 at 3:38 PM, Billy Cox [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I want to submit a zipcode to a form on another website and then manipulate the results using cfhttp.filecontent.
