Unable to make a local CFHTTP request using CF9 + IIS7 + Vista

Hi CFers

Screenshot attached.

Just wondering if anyone else has had issues with CF not dealing with local CFHTTP requests to IIS on Vista.

So far it seems that CFHTTP makes a call to IIS, it shows up in the IIS logs as a 200, but CF returns a Connection Timeout (note it doesn't matter if you make it a ridiculous timeout, its a real simple page). Also if you make the request in the URL it in browser it's fine.

CFHTTP works fine for anything not local. It's not HTTPS and not using compression. Both CF and IIS are using the same user account. Running CF9 Dev Edition, IIS7 and Vista Business.

I'm stumped, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    G'day Dave

    Hey, what happens if you give it a different useragent value?  It's a long shot, but something easy to try.

    When you're browsing to the URL and it works, you're browsing from the desktop of the server itself, yes?

    And if you use the inbuilt JWS web server instead of IIS, it works fine?
