I'm trying to send a cfhttp request with a body content to a NodeJS server, but it's being sent empty.
ColdFusion:
<cfset data = {
test: "abc",
id: 5
} />
<cfhttp result="test" method="GET" url="http://myNodeJSServer.com/test">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type" value="application/json" />
<cfhttpparam type="body" value="#serializeJSON(data)#" />
</cfhttp>
<cfdump var="#test#" />
In the NodeJS I check the body:
exports.test = async (req, res, next) => {
console.log(req.body);
}
This log is empty even though I am sending body data in the CF request. Am I using the cfhttp wrong?
Thanks

So I'm trying to setup the API call to Twilio Flow using CFHTTP but am having no luck. Keeps returning CFHTTP doesn't exist when I try to view the response.
I've already tried adjusting from formfields to body, setting the charset to utf-8, etc. I was successfully able to send an SMS using the Programmable SMS portion but am having no luck hitting the Flow.
<cfset twilioUsername = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" />
<cfset twilioFlowSid = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" />
<cfset twilioPassword = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" />
<cfset twilioFrom = "+1XXXXXXXXXX" />
<cfset twilioTo = "+1XXXXXXXXXX" />
<cfset bodyFields = {
"name" : "Tester",
"cases" : "This Case this Time"
} />
<cfset twilioFlowResource = (
"https://studio.twilio.com/v1/Flows/#twilioFlowSid#/Executions.json"
) />
<cfhttp result="POST" method="POST" charset="utf-8" url="#twilioFlowResource#" username="#twilioUsername#" password="#twilioPassword#">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="From" value="twilioFrom" />
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="To" value="twilioTo" />
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="Parameters" value="#serializeJSON(bodyFields)#" />
</cfhttp>
All I keep receiving is variable CFHTTP doesn't exist when I try to view the contents of cfhttp.filecontent.
It is because you used cfhttp's "result" attribute which ".. lets you specify an alternate variable in which to receive a result". Meaning CF won't populate the default variable named cfhttp. So in your example, you should be dumping the variable named #POST#. (Though to avoid further confusion, I'd recommend using something else, like "response".)
<cfhttp result="response"
method="POST"
charset="utf-8"
url="#twilioFlowResource#"
username="#twilioUsername#"
password="#twilioPassword#">
... parameters ...
</cfhttp>
<cfdump var="#response#">
Also, perhaps it's just a typo, but ... if that's the actual code you're using, it's missing pound signs around the variables in the <cfhttpparam> declarations. So the code is actually sending the literal string "twilioFrom" instead of the variable value: +1XXXXXXXXXX. These lines:
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="From" value="twilioFrom" />
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="To" value="twilioTo" />
... should be changed to this:
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="From" value="#twilioFrom#" />
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="To" value="#twilioTo#" />
I'll keep this short. I have OAuth working with the Google Photos API. I am able to return albums and media items but not album specific media items.
Below I've done three requests. The first two work while the third does not.
Note: In the third request I've taken the albumID from the results returned in the first request.
<!--- This works --->
<cfhttp method="GET" charset="utf-8" url="https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/albums" result="res">
<cfhttpparam name="Authorization" type="header" value="OAuth #application.oauth2.GetAccess_token()#" />
</cfhttp>
<cfdump var="#deserializeJSON(res.filecontent)#">
<!--- This works --->
<cfhttp method="GET" charset="utf-8" url="https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/mediaItems" result="res">
<cfhttpparam name="Authorization" type="header" value="OAuth #application.oauth2.GetAccess_token()#" />
</cfhttp>
<cfdump var="#deserializeJSON(res.filecontent)#">
<!--- This doesn't. I get a 404 for this --->
<cfhttp method="POST" charset="utf-8" url="https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/mediaItems:search" result="res">
<cfhttpparam name="Authorization" type="header" value="OAuth #application.oauth2.GetAccess_token()#" />
<cfhttpparam name="albumId" type="formfield" value="AHeArAbj3EfLJqs23FHD9SWuReCaaPA0VBZxw6HNwL752bJr5X882_ZJnitk7kjZJwtzXvrw6hp2" />
</cfhttp>
<cfdump var="#res#">
This is the result I get for the last request;
What is wrong with the last request I am making? I am trying to use this API call: https://developers.google.com/photos/library/reference/rest/v1/mediaItems/search
I have a cfc that makes a call to a remote service using cfhttp. The service is returning a failure code, which means that my call to the remote service is not formatted properly. Is there any way to capture the content of a cfhttp post I'm sending? I want to capture the raw post data so I can see where my formatting problem is. Here is a sample of what my code looks like:
<cfhttp url="https://www.webservice.com" method="POST" result="httpResponse">
<cfhttpparam type="formField" name="method" value="doSomething">
<cfhttpparam type="formField" name="user" value="myUserName">
<cfhttpparam type="formField" name="password" value="myPassword">
</cfhttp>
I'd like to do something like this:
<cfset result = structNew() />
<cfset result["response"] = httpResponse />
<cfset result["sentContent"] = cfhttp.sentContent />
Is it possible to get the content of a sent cfhttp without looking at the server logs. My server is offsite and getting the logs will be a PITA.
You could create a template to which you would POST to. That template could return the result of GetHttpRequestData() function.
Ive been given a class file from another group of SFDC developers that work in a separate instance that generates a SOAP based WSDL. I have imported that class file and generated the WSDL in our instance. The webservice is very basic, it just returns a set of values (in XML of course) and doesn't require any arguments to retrieve those values.
Just to test that the WSDL is working Ive downloaded the WSDL from our instance to my local PC and put it into SOAPUI and successfully returned the set of values.
NOW ONTO THE ISSUE - CONSUMING VIA THE URL
Im using Coldfusion's CFHTTP, so I have two CFHTTP calls, the first is to the login of our instance which returns a valid session ID. This session ID is used in my second call which is below:
<!--- token from from first cfhttp --->
<cfset variables.access_token_node = xmlSearch(XMLContent, "//*[name()='sessionId']") />
<cfset variables.access_token = variables.access_token_node[1].xmlText>
<cfset variables.wsdl_url2 = "https://cs12.salesforce.com/services/wsdl/class/WS_FAKE_WSDL">
<cfset packet = CreateObject("java", "java.lang.StringBuffer") />
<cfset packet.append('<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ws="http://soap.sforce.com/schemas/class/WS_FAKE_WSDL">') />
<cfset packet.append('<soapenv:Header>') />
<cfset packet.append('<ws:SessionHeader>') />
<cfset packet.append('<ws:sessionId>#variables.access_token#</ws:sessionId>') />
<cfset packet.append('</ws:SessionHeader>') />
<cfset packet.append('</soapenv:Header>') />
<cfset packet.append('<soapenv:Body>') />
<cfset packet.append('<ws:DescribesObjectFields/>') />
<cfset packet.append('</soapenv:Body>') />
<cfset packet.append('</soapenv:Envelope>') />
<cfhttp method="post" url="#variables.wsdl_url2#" result="findResponse2">
<cfhttpparam type="HEADER" name="Accept" value="application/soap+xml, application/xml, multipart/related, text/*">
<cfhttpparam type="HEADER" name="ACCEPT-ENCODING" value="application/soap+xml">
<cfhttpparam type="HEADER" name="CONNECTION" value="Keep-Alive">
<cfhttpparam type="HEADER" name="SOAPAction" value="dummy">
<cfhttpparam type="HEADER" name="Content-Type" value="text/xml; charset=utf-8">
<cfhttpparam type="HEADER" name="Must-Understand" value="1">
<cfhttpparam type="Header" name="Content-Length" value="#len(trim(packet.ToString()))#">
<cfhttpparam type="body" value="#packet.ToString()#" encoded="yes">
</cfhttp>
Below is what I am receiving from the WSDL..that code just takes me back to the login screen. With a Session ID I would assume I wouldn't need to log back in, correct?
All advice is appreciated.
You appear to be sending your APi call to the URL of the WSDL file, this is not the correct URL, you should be sending it to the service address that's detailed within the WSDL file, see the soap:address element in the service element at the bottom of the WSDL.
I'm having troubles with building correct PUT request to the Wufoo.
In all my attempts I see the same error:
404 A WebHook must contain a url parameter.
Here is the version with JSON data type:
<cfset local.action = "forms/#local.formHash#/webhooks.json" />
<cfset local.request = {"url" : local.webHookURL, "handshakeKey" : local.webHookKey} />
<cfset local.request["handshakeKey"] = local.webHookKey />
<cfhttp url="#local.baseURL##local.action#" method="put" username="#local.apiKey#" password="#local.apiPass#">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type" value="application/json; charset=UTF-8" />
<cfhttpparam type="body" value="#SerializeJSON(local.request)#" />
</cfhttp>
Same failure when using file:
<cfset local.action = "forms/#local.formHash#/webhooks.json" />
<cfset local.request = {"url" : local.webHookURL, "handshakeKey" : local.webHookKey} />
<cffile action="write" file="#GetTempDirectory()#webhook.json" output="#SerializeJSON(local.request)#">
<cfhttp url="#local.baseURL##local.action#" method="put" username="#local.apiKey#" password="#local.apiPass#">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type" value="application/json; charset=UTF-8" />
<cfhttpparam type="file" mimetype="application/json" name="json" file="#GetTempDirectory()#webhook.json" />
</cfhttp>
UPDATE:
To make the code working in ACF (my code works in Railo only) use this syntax for request:
<cfset local.request = {} />
<cfset local.request["url"] = local.webHookURL />
<cfset local.request["handshakeKey"] = local.webHookKey />
Both methods should produce same JSON with case-sensitive keys.
Also I've tried the XML data type:
<cfset local.action = "forms/#local.formHash#/webhooks.xml" />
<cfsavecontent variable="putXML">
<cfoutput>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<WebHookPutRequest>
<url>#XMLFormat(local.webHookURL)#</url>
<handshakeKey>#XMLFormat(local.webHookKey)#</handshakeKey>
</WebHookPutRequest>
</cfoutput>
</cfsavecontent>
<cffile action="write" file="#GetTempDirectory()#webhook.xml" output="#Trim(putXML)#">
<cfhttp url="#local.baseURL##local.action#" method="put" username="#local.apiKey#" password="#local.apiPass#">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type" value="application/xml; charset=UTF-8" />
<cfhttpparam type="body" value="#putXML#" />
</cfhttp>
Here I'm not sure if my XML is correct, though for JSON everything should be fine.
Any ideas what's wrong with my code?
Thanks in advance.
Wufoo asks for the parameters to be "be passed as post parameters to the Web Hook API". Try using the application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoding for the body of the request. In ColdFusion, you can do this with <cfhttpparam type="FormField" />.
<cfhttpparam type="FormField" name="url" value="#local.webHookURL#" />
<cfhttpparam type="FormField" name="handshakeKey" value="#local.webHookKey#" />
However, ColdFusion rejects this technique with PUT methods. You can encode the body yourself using:
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type" value="application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8" />
<cfhttpparam type="body" value="url=#UrlEncode(local.webHookURL)#&handshakeKey=#UrlEncode(local.webHookKey)#" />
In ColdFusion, generally, variable names are case-insensitive and uppercase.
<cfset local.request = {
url = local.webHookURL,
handshakeKey = local.webHookKey
} />
This gives you a struct with keys URL and HANDSHAKEKEY.
On the Web, presumably including with the Wufoo REST API, keys are case-sensitive. In this case, Wufoo accepts keys url, handshakeKey, and metadata - in that casing.
In ColdFusion, associative-array notation with struct puts (assignments) lets you keep the precise casing you want.
<cfset local.request = { } />
<cfset local.request["url"] = local.webHookURL />
<cfset local.request["handshakeKey"] = local.webHookKey />
This gives you a struct with keys url and handshakeKey.
Not familiar with this api but should the url, handshakekey, etc be form post params?
The following parameters must be
passed as post parameters to the Web
Hook API
url - this required parameter
represents the URL on your server that
the Web Hook will call when a new
entry is submitted. We do validate the
URL and reject malformed URLs.
handshakeKey - this optional parameter
is described in the Web Hook
integration getting started
documentation.
metadata=true - this optional value
parameter the Web Hook to send along
form/field
The way I read that, it looks like they are asking
for each of the params.
The error is suggesting it can't find the URL param, maybe that is it.
