XML Integration - ASP equivalent in CF

[redherring917]

Hi there -

I need to integrate a CF application with a payment processing service via XML and process the returned XML response accordingly. Seems simple enough, yet I CONTINUE to stumble.

Without yet dealing with the response, (because I can't even seem to get that far yet), here's the gist of what I need to do to submit the order (this ASP code was provided by the payment processing service as an integration example):

Dim xmlhttp,queryString
Set xmlhttp = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
xmlhttp.Open "POST", "

https://secure.internetsecure.com/process.cgi",

false
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type","application/x-

http://www-form-urlencoded"

queryString = "xxxRequestMode=X&xxxRequestData="&Server.URLEncode(xmlStr)
xmlhttp.Send queryString

And this is my shot at a CF "equivalent" that has not met with much success:

<cfhttp url="

https://secure.internetsecure.com/process.cgi"

method="post">
<cfhttpparam name="xxxRequestData" type="xml" value="<cfoutput>#xmlStr#</cfoutput>">
</cfhttp>

I know that I need to send the name / value pair "xxxRequestMode=X", but am not sure how to do that, as in, add another cfhttpparam variable perhaps? Anything else stand out as being dramatically different between this working ASP and non-working CF?

Thanks so much in advance!

I know you aren't using PayPal, but there is a good tutorial on using PP that shows how to do the whole cfhttp request and reply stuff. Not sure if it will work with the one you are doing or not but it is good reading.

Thanks.

FYI - this was my final solution. Not entirely sure where I initially missed the boat, but 2 formfields and including the xml version tag within the cfhttpparam name / value pair explicity vs. as part of the xml string seemed to do it.

<cfhttp url="

https://secure.internetsecure.com/process.cgi"

method="post">
<cfhttpparam name="xxxRequestMode" type="formfield" value="X">
<cfhttpparam name="xxxRequestData" type="formfield" value="<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>#orderdetails#">
</cfhttp>
