Using CFHHTP to submit XML

Using CFHHTP to submit XML

by  GUJUm0deL  Posted    (Edited  )
We take the XML content and enclose them inside of a <cfsavecontent> tag. Doing so just encapsulates the entire XML data as one big string.
Code: 
[color red]
<cfsavecontent variable="submission">
<?xml version='1.0'?><Lead 
type='TITLE'><DATA1><option1>#text#</option1><option2>#text2
#</option2></DATA1><DATA2><fname>#FirstName#</fname><lname>#
LastName#</lname><addr>#Address#</addr><city>#City#</city><s
tate>#State#</state><zip>#Zip#</zip></DATA2><DATA3><filetype
/><leadinshowmuch/></DATA3></TITLE>
</cfsavecontent>
[/color]

Then we use the <cfhttp> tag to submit the data. Using the POST method, and one CFHTTPPARAM to submit the data in.
Code: 
[color green]
  <cfhttp method="post" url="http://www.somesite.com/page1.aspx" throwonerror="no">
    <cfhttpparam name="vSending" type="xml" value="#submission#">
  </cfhttp>
[/color]

This technique worked like a charm.
