SSL with CFHTTP on MX

Are there any known issues using SSL with CFHTTP on CFMX?  If I try to call a URL starting with https, I get a connection failure.  If I then copy that address to a browser window, I get the expected return with no problems. I'm using Win2k. Anyone have any experience with this?

it may be a problem with the cert.  ive had that problem with certain certs...i think the one that I had issues was a rather new cert company, and they hadnt gone through all the loops and hoops to become accepted as a trusted cert provider...maybe instantssl or something like that? not sure of the exact name.... tony weeg uncertified advanced cold fusion developer tony at navtrak dot net www.navtrak.net office 410.548.2337 fax 410.860.2337 Are there any known issues using SSL with CFHTTP on CFMX?  If I try to call a URL starting with https, I get a connection failure.  If I then copy that address to a browser window, I get the expected return with no problems.

Could be this... http://mxc.blogspot.com/2002_12_15_mxc_archive.html I could swear at one time I read that cfhttp required a 1.4 JRE for SSL, but I haven't seen that piece of info in a while...so take that with a grain of salt. MM may have done the legwork to get JSSE working on 1.3 as well. -- jon mailto:jonhall@ozline.net Tuesday, July 1, 2003, 11:50:31 AM, you wrote: M> Are there any known issues using SSL with CFHTTP on CFMX?  If I try to call M> a URL starting with https, I get a connection failure.  If I then copy that M> address to a browser window, I get the expected return with no problems.

I configured MX for the 1.4 JRE, and it worked with no problems.  Just an update for anyone else who needs to make this work at some point in the future :-) Matt Could be this... http://mxc.blogspot.com/2002_12_15_mxc_archive.html I could swear at one time I read that cfhttp required a 1.4 JRE for SSL, but I haven't seen that piece of info in a while...so take that with a grain of salt.

I can't verify how accurate this is considering it was discovered more from trial and error...but many of our CF customers had issues with CFHTTP and SSL until they upgraded to 1.4.x Could be that the newer jvm supports more cert types...not sure.
