Consuming web services that ColdFusion does not generate - coldfusion

Question

I'm a newbie to web services. I'm using ColdFusion 2016 and want to make a call to this service url: https://apitest.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api. This service is written in C#. How can I call a service, from ColdFusion, which is written in other language?
One more thing, I want pass the below xml data as input. How can I do this?
<createTransactionRequest xmlns="AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd">
<merchantAuthentication>
