Question
cfhttp GET cookie issue
I want to cfhttp get a file from a yahoo groups site that I
belong to. I am trying to use cfhttp GET to do this. You wouldn't
think it'd be rocket science... but maybe it is. Here's the code,
stripped for privacy:
{cfhttp
method = "Get"
url=" http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stargate/message/1.html"
path="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Domains\ [etc matching my hard drive] "
userAgent = "Cold Fusion"
resolveURL = "no"
throwOnError = "no"
file="1.html"}
{cfhttpparam name="G" type="Cookie" value="long-ol-string-entered-as-cookie-in-myfilezilla-cookies-area"}
{/cfhttp}
With or without adding in the username/pw params, no matter what I do, it gets the first part, writes the file which tells me in the html content:
{div class="ygrp-contentblock"}

{a href=" http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stargate/message/1.html"}Try Again{/a}
{/div}
I am guessing that CF's idea to "encrypt" cookies is somehow related to this, that yahoo is not recognizing the cookie that I am providing. Surely this has got to be a very common need of people! -- to get a page which requires a cookie to be passed -- and I can't believe there is so little decent documentation on it on the livedocs area.
Does anybody know of a solution to this? Is there any way to get CF *not* to encrypt the cookie? Or some other work around??
