Coldfusion 7 CFHTTP and SSL v3.0

[drybagel]

We are consuming a UPS OnLine web service in order to get shipping rates.
Coldfusion 7 is being used on our end and the <cfhttp...> tag with method="post" is how we get to their service.

UPS is upgrading their online tools to use SSL v3.0.
They have an area where you can test and see if their upgraded version will work when they go live. Our test failed with a Connection Failure message!

Is this problem related to using Coldfusion 7? Is there a solution?

Thank you.

I am having the exact same problem, but it actually happened on our live site. Where on the ups.com site can you test to see if their upgraded version will work? If I find an solution, I will definitely let you know.

It turns out that this was a firewall problem and not the problem that I described in the post. Sorry about this.

Once a firewall rule was changed, it all worked fine.

To ddschwint... I received a "UPS Tech Alert" back in November 2008. In the email was a line that said, "To find out if your system supports SSL Version 3.0, please go to Online Tools Support for detailed instructions."
