CFHTTP / HTTPS

[bubblocity]

Hi,

I wanted to use CFHTTP to retrieve content from a page on another server. The
only thing is, I should be calling the other page by https://

If I use CFHTTP with port 443, is that the equivalent of calling the other
page by [url]https://?[/url]

If not, does anyone know if there another way to accomplish the same thing?

Thanks.

I had a heck of a time finding this out...but finally got it to work. To use
HTTPS with the cfhttp tag, you might need to manually import the certificate
for each web server into the keystore for the JRE that ColdFusion uses. This
procedure should not be necessary if the certificate is signed (issued) by an
authority that the JSSE (Java Secure Sockets Extension) recognizes (for
example, Verisign); that is, if the signing authority is in the cacerts
already. However, you might need to use the procedure if you are issuing SSL
(secure sockets layer) certificates yourself. To manually import a
certificate: Go to a page on the SSL server in question. Double-click the lock
icon. Click the Details tab. Click Copy To File. Select the base64 option
and save the file. Copy the CER file into
C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\jre\lib\security (or whichever JRE ColdFusion is using).
Run the following command in the same directory (keytool.exe is located in
C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\jre\bin): keytool -import -keystore cacerts -alias
giveUniqueName -file filename.cer I got this from this page....

by the way... to really answer your question to call a ssl page... FIRST IMPORT THE Certificate then...

<cfhttp URL='https://www.mysslsite.com'method='get'>

So you dont need to give it a port=443
