I'm getting a "connection failure" error (IE, FF) trying to connection to
authorize.net through a coldfusion test page on godaddy host account. I was
told to use their proxy server. I have the following but still no connection..

<cfhttp
method="post"
url="https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll"
proxyServer="http://proxy.shr.secureserver.net"
proxyPort="3128"
>
<cfhttpparam name="x_login" type="formfield" value="xxxxxxx">
<cfhttpparam name="x_tran_key" type="formfield" value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx">
</cfhttp>

<cfset api_response=cfhttp.fileContent>
<cfoutput>#api_response#</cfoutput>

I was also told in another forum that..

..you may need to (have godaddy ssl cert team) manually import the certificate
of authorize.net

Anyone out there have any more insight into this problem? How can I verify
that they've manually imported the certificate of authorize.net?

godaddy might be blocking traffic to that port. my hosting company
only allows 80 and 443 traffic.

Billing Orchard hooks into the authorize.net nicely (including ARB;
recurring billing if you need it). It has an easy API (port 443) and
also something called Checkout Pages which you can use so you don't
have to worry about PCI compliance.
