Issue with Comodo SSL

Question

We use Comodo for our SSL for years now without any issues.
Recently Comodo switched their SSL certificates and after we
renewed our SSL our ColdFusion application can no longer connect to
our remote server in secure mode with the new SSL.

I found this article on Comodos website that seemed relevant.
https://support.comodo.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=593

I was also able to bypass this using this method.
1 - Browse to https://www.domainname.com, click the lock,
view certificate, goto details tab, and copy to file. Save as
c:\domain.cer or something.

2 - Open a command prompt to the
{cfusion}/runtime/jre/lib/security folder and run ...

{cfusion}/runtime/jre/bin/keytool -import -trustcacerts
-keystore cacerts -storepass changeit -noprompt -file c:\domain.cer

3 - Restart Coldfusion Application service.

This worked for several sites running ColdFusion 6 and below
but I am having some trouble with CFMX 7.

Anyone have any suggestions?

We've found this article to be very helpful with problem's we've had with ColdFusion and SSL Certs:

We're using CFMX 7 and it seems to work fine for us. When you say you are having problems connecting to your remote server, are you using CFHTTP or consuming a web service? We've had some problems using ColdFusion to consume a web service on an SSL server (has to do with HTTP compression). Not sure if that was your problem, but thought I'd through it out there.

If it is a problem with HTTP compression, you can get around it by passing some custom headers in CFHTTP:
