Hi all, we're having problems trying to cfhttp a page which is https:// and
also is the IP address rather than domain name. (Since this is the old version
of a website we can't use the domain name). I'm just getting 'Connection
Failure' for the code below.

Any advice much appreciated,
Thanks!

<cfhttp method="post" url="https://999.999.999.99/folder/page.cfm" port="443"
timeout="15">

Read your log files...
Most likely your server (where the above code resides) does not have
access to the IP address that you specify...

The page I'm trying to cfhttp does display when browsed normally, but a popup
is displaying about the secure certificate ('the name on the security
certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site').

I'm now wondering if this is causing the connection failure, any thoughts?
Thanks.
