Coldfusion 9 webservice error - web-services

I am trying to run a webservice using coldfusion. I can run the wsdl in the browser fine. When I try to run it via coldfusion I get:
Unable to parse WSDL as an XML document.
Parsing error: Fatal Error: URI=null Line=-1: Premature end of file.
It is recommended that you use a web browser to retrieve and examine the requested WSDL document to ensure it is correct.
I have tried multiple methods:
wsargs.login='******';
wsargs.password='******';
ws = CreateObject("webservice", "https://correcturl.com/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/biws?WSDL=1&cuid-******", wsargs);
req = getSOAPRequest(ws);
</cfscript>
<cfdump var="#req#">
<cfset wsargs = structNew()>
<cfset wsargs["login"]="******">
<cfset wsargs["password"]="******">
<cfinvoke webservice="https://correcturl.com/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/biws?WSDL=1&cuid=******"
method="runQueryAsAService"
returnvariable="results"
argumentCollection="#wsargs#">
</cfinvoke>
<cfinvoke webservice="https://correcturl.com/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/biws?WSDL=1&cuid=******"
method="runQueryAsAService"
returnvariable="results">
<cfinvokeargument name="login" value="******"/>
<cfinvokeargument name="password" value="******"/>
</cfinvoke>
But all give me this error. I have see other related errors and have tried the solutions in them, such as clearing out the Application.cfc/cfm and adding refreshwsdl='true' to the cfinvoke, none of which have done anything. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.

I guess I didnt have a full understanding of how this works. The url I was trying to use was to what I guess was the wsdl definition. I ran url an via wizdler ran the method. That then gave me a soap request that I then saved in a cfcsave content tag. My final code that worked looks like:
<cfset strURL = "https://correcturl.com/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/biws?WSDL=1&cuid=******">
<cfsavecontent variable="strXML">
<Envelope xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<Header>
<QaaWSHeader xmlns="VendorInfo">
<sessionID>[string?]</sessionID>
<serializedSession>[string?]</serializedSession>
<ClientType>[string?]</ClientType>
<AuditingObjectID>[string?]</AuditingObjectID>
<AuditingObjectName>[string?]</AuditingObjectName>
</QaaWSHeader>
</Header>
<Body>
<runQueryAsAService xmlns="VendorInfoLR">
<login>******</login>
<password>******</password>
</runQueryAsAService>
</Body>
</Envelope>
</cfsavecontent>
<cfhttp url="#strURL#" method="post" useragent="#CGI.http_user_agent#" result="objGet">
<cfhttpparam type="XML" value="#strXML.Trim()#" />
</cfhttp>

This soap stuff is new to me, and I have more research to do to fully understand it. :)

<cfhttp> to download a remote .csv file in ColdFusion

I'm trying to download a .csv file on a remote server location using ColdFusion (version 2016). I used the cfhttp tag to perform this operation but I keep getting the following error:
401 UNAUTHORIZED
I checked with the server admin of the remote server to verify that I have the right domain name, userid and password and the admin confirmed it. I couldn't find anything similar on SO, hence posting this question. Hoping someone can help me out.
PS: I don't have access to the ColdFusion Administrator since it is hosted by a separate team.
Below is my code (actual values replaced with dummy data for security):
<cfhttp url="https://xxx.yyy.com/abcd/xyz/myfolder/myFile.csv">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization"
value="Basic #ToBase64("MydomainName\Myuserid:Mypassword")#" />
</cfhttp>
<cfdump var="#cfhttp.filecontent#" label="CSV file content">
<cfabort>
It might be that your auth string is wrong. To avoid confusion and while debugging, I would suggest something like this:
<cfset myDomainName = "MydomainName" />
<cfset myUserId = "Myuserid" />
<cfset myPassword = "Mypassword" />
<cfset authString = "Basic " & ToBase64('#myDomainName#' & '\' & '#myUserId#' & ':' & '#myPassword#') />
<cfhttp url="https://xxx.yyy.com/abcd/xyz/myfolder/myFile.csv">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization"
value="#authString#" />
</cfhttp>
<cfdump var="#cfhttp.filecontent#" label="CSV file content">
<cfabort>
I hope this helps.

Error 400: Bad request while fetching json data from instagram api via coldfusion

Afraid to ask this question as I'm not able to create a jsfiddle for it, but hope someone will be able help.
I'm trying to create a cfc in ColdFusion for an instagram login. That part is done. I'm using postman (google app) and by my credentials I can see the user's data in json, but when I'm converting this into ColdFusion it's giving an error. I tried to change the data-type, header and a lot of lines but am still getting the same error again and again.
My code (replaced ids with xxx for security)
<cftry>
<cfhttp url="https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token" method="post" resolveurl="yes">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type" value="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" />

I'm following this code from this answer. For more info check this . You can see that I'm getting data by using the same login details, but when doing the same via a cfc I'm getting error.
Error which I'm getting after running the url :
I've read a lot of articles and blogs, but still haven't been able to resolve the error. Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong? If you have any other suggestions, please do let me know.
If any additional information is required, just let me know.
Finally i got the answer of my question after days.. Thanx Miguel-F and Mark A Kruger however Mark your link wasn't good for me as that was out of my issue so..
What i did is to update my SSL certificate. I tried before but was not having much information like Organization unit etc but then i followed the steps given in this Link, provided by Miguel and tested then i got expiration code error.
After that i tried to refresh with ?reinit=1 as i made changes in my cfc but forget to reinitialize after updating the certificate, and then i got the result :)
SO final answer is Update your SSL certificate with proper authorization and cfc can fetch data from Instagram..
Link useful for me One, CFC demo. In cfc demo you can download the cfc for instagram which is also useful (even in case you don't have to update the SSL certificate).
If anyone having issue with Instagram cfc then do let me know.. I spent days on this and can help you.. :)

XMLParse Coldfusion 9 - Content Not Allowed In Prolog

I am trying to parse some data from Australia Post using Coldfusion, the code works perfectly when i'm using CF10 locally but the problem is that the servers i'm using are using CF9 and i'd rather keep them with 9.
When i try the code in CF9 i get "Content not allowed in prolog" no matter what i try, i managed to do a ReReplace when then threw the error of "Premature end of file" so i'm not sure what else to try also on the server it's using IIS6 i don't know if that's contributing to the issue
I've also connected the SSL certificate through the keystore as i read that could be an issue as well

grabbing JSON data using coldfusion

I have a URL which when run in the browser, displays JSON data, since I am new to coldfusion, I am wondering, what would be a good way to
grab the data from the web browser? Later on I will be storing the individial JSON data into MySQL database, but I need to figure out step 1
which is grabbing the data.
Please advise.
Thanks
You'll want to do a cfhttp request to load the external content.
Then you can use deserializeJSON to convert the JSON object into the appropriate cfml struct.
See the example Adobe gives in the deserializeJSON documentation.
Here is quick example:
<!--- Set the URL address. --->
<cfset urlAddress="http://ip.jsontest.com/">
<!--- Generate http request from cf --->
<cfhttp url="#urlAddress#" method="GET" resolveurl="Yes" throwOnError="Yes"/>
<!--- handle the response from the server --->
<cfoutput>
This is just a string:<br />
#CFHTTP.FileContent#<br />
</cfoutput>
<cfset cfData=DeserializeJSON(CFHTTP.FileContent)>
This is object:<br />
<cfdump var="#cfData#">
Now you can do something like this:<br />
<cfoutput>#cfData.ip#</cfoutput>

how to check if a file exists on Amazon S3 using Coldfusion fileExist?

I'm running Coldfusion8 and am uploading files to Amazon S3.
When displaying images, I want to check whether an image is available from S3 and if not show a fallback image. My problem is, don't know how to check for existing images.
If I list the link to an image, it's something like this:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket/l_138a.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=_key_&Expires=_exp_&Signature=_signature_
I'm trying to check for existing files like this:
<cfif fileExists("http://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket/s_" & items.filename)>
<cfdump output="e:\website\test\dump.txt" label="catch" var="found!!!">
</cfif>
Question:
Do I always have to provide accesskey, expires and signature when checking for an image? If I enter the image path without credentials in the browser, the image is loaded, so I don't understand why my fileExist is not working. Any idea?
You could use cfhttp if you have a site-wide page not found message set up.
<cfhttp url="http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2012/0813/nfl_u_flynn1x_203.jpg" method="head">
<cfdump var="#cfhttp.filecontent#">
returns object of java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream
<cfhttp url="http://a.espncdn.com/photo/20notanimage3.jpg" method="head">
<cfdump var="#cfhttp.filecontent#">
returns <html> <body> <h1>Error Processing Request</h1> </body> </html>
Can also check the statuscode returned by the server
<cfhttp url="http://a.file.exists.gif" method="head">
<cfdump var="#val(cfhttp.statuscode)#">
200 is ok, 404 is not found, etc
I've used the getObjectInfo method in the S3.cfc to see if an object exists:
<cffunction name="getObjectInfo" access="public" output="false" returntype="string"
description="Creates a bucket.">
<cfargument name="bucketName" type="string" required="yes">
<cfargument name="filekey" type="string" required="true" hint="" />
<cfset var data = "">
<cfset var content = "">
<cfset var contents = "">
<cfset var thisContent = "">
<cfset var allContents = "">
<cfset var dateTimeString = GetHTTPTimeString(Now())>
<!--- Create a canonical string to send --->
<cfset var cs = "HEAD\n\n\n#dateTimeString#\n/#arguments.bucketName#/#Arguments.filekey#">
<!--- Create a proper signature --->
<cfset var signature = createSignature(cs)>
<!--- get the bucket via REST --->
<cfhttp method="HEAD" url="http://s3.amazonaws.com/#arguments.bucketName#/#Arguments.filekey#">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Date" value="#dateTimeString#">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization" value="AWS #variables.accessKeyId#:#signature#">
</cfhttp>
<cfreturn cfhttp.StatusCode />
</cffunction>
If I get a 200 status back, then I know the object exists.
I haven't used Coldfusion for a long time, but I did a quick lookup and the fileExists method seems to be for filesystem lookups, not remote URLs.
There are other Coldfusion methods for requesting URLs. One forum discussion on the subject I just quickly found is here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/765614
But, assuming you're generating HTML to be consumed by a web browser I would suggest doing an image check / fallback in HTML/CSS/JS rather than server side. You could do this with CSS background-image tricks, or directly load and check images with JS. One question dealing with this that I found is here (there are probably a bunch of similar questions on this stuff): Inputting a default image in case the src attribute of an html <img> is not valid?
