Scott,

That looks like what I'm looking for, I'll try it and see.

Thanks

Hi Bryan,

Sorry, your bit of Witango code didn't show up in my Mail Client for some reason, but I saw it in Ben's reply.
Like Ben said, use of the POSTARGS attribute specifies HTTP POST (not
shown in your CF debugging), but if CF wants a specific "Content-Type"
specified (which is an optional HTTP spec with Requests), then do this
little trick:
<@URL location="http://www.mydomain.com/post_to_me.cfm";
postargs="state=FL" USERAGENT="Witango <@VERSION><@CRLF>Content-Type:
application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
Notice the <@CRLF> in USERAGENT? This inserts a carriage-return/line- feed, which is all that separates HTTP header properties. Doing this, you can add any number of extra HTTP properties.

Hope this is what you're looking for. Cheers....

You need to use the POSTARGS or POSTARGARRAY attribute of @URL

Excerpt from @URL Docs

"When the POSTARGS or POSTARGARRAY attribute is present, the type of

HTTP request issued by the <@URL> meta tag changes to POST from

GET"

Subject: Witango-Talk: @URL problems
I'm trying to post information to a ColdFusion .cfm page using the @URL tag but for some reason the ColdFusion is not recognizing the HTTP content as POST arguments.

I created a simple ColdFusion page to to display the HTTP headers, HTTP content, and value of a form/post argument.
------ post_to_me.cfm ------
<cfparam name="form.state" default="">
<cfoutput>
<cfdump var="#GetHTTPRequestData().headers#">
----- -----<br>
#GetHTTPRequestData().content#<br>
----- -----<br>
state = #form.state#<br>
----------------------------------
I tried three different methods of posting once just with a form in a
web page, then with CURL, and finally with the @URL tag in Witango.
These are the responses I received for each post type:
Safari web page through html form.

@URL doesn't pass as much header information, especially no the
Content-Type header.
Is there a way to set extra header parameters besides from, and useragent? Or does anyone have any other ideas why @URL is not working?
