I suggest that you post the code you are using and describe how the code is intended to be used.

Here is the code..........

  <cfhttp method="Post"

   urlhttps://xyz.asp"

    <cfhttpparam type="Formfield"

      value="#Token1#"

      name="Token1">

    <cfhttpparam type="Formfield"

      value="#Token2#"

      name="Token2">

    <cfhttpparam type="Formfield"

      value="#RequestType#"

      name="RequestType">

    

    <cfhttpparam type="Formfield"

      value="YES"

      name="UpdateAccountList">

    <cfhttpparam type="Formfield"

      value="#AccountList#"

      name="AccountList">

    <cfhttpparam type="Formfield"

      value="YES"

      name="UpdateProfile">

    <cfhttpparam type="Formfield"

      value="#fname#"

      name="Fname">

    <cfhttpparam type="Formfield"

It's that simple, generally.

There can be a bit of trickiness, if you have to import the SSL certificate to the Java Key Store so that ColdFusion can properly encrypt the post to the https url.

But if your problem is the other system getting multiple posts, then that would not be your issue.  For this case, you would need to show or describe what is the logic around this code that could be running the cfhttp tag repeatedly.

ColdFusion will not make multiple requests form a single tag.
