Has anyone been able to use authorize.net's ARB api successfully?  If so, was
there anything special you had to do?

I was able to post to their testing URL, and receive a well formed XML
response, but once I switched over to their production URL I receive and http
authentication error.  Nothing changed with my posting code, aside from the URL
i am posting to.  After doing some research and finding mention of occasional
problems regarding CFHTTP and certain SSL certificates, I manually imported the
SSL certificate as well, but the error continues....

Anyhow, if anyone has done this successfully, or has some feedback let me
know.  i can post my code as well as my error...

thanks.

There are 2 custom headers you have to pass when using CFHTTP via SSL.  I'll see if I can dig them up

If you have already added their certificate to your java cert store on your
server, try adding the following to your cfhttp call:

<cfhttpparam type="Header" name="Accept-Encoding" value="deflate;q=0">
<cfhttpparam type="Header" name="TE" value="deflate;q=0">

thanks for the suggestion.  

still no luck though.  i added the headers to my post, and the error persists.


maybe it's something really stupid that i'm missing.  i've messed around with
the code enough at this point i would not be shocked.  fresh eyes never hurt.  
with that in mind, here is my code and error (see below):
-----------
<cfoutput>
<CFXML VARIABLE="myXml">
<ARBCreateSubscriptionRequest xmlns="AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd">
  <merchantAuthentication>
    <name>myusername</name>
    <transactionKey>mytrankey</transactionKey>
  </merchantAuthentication>
  <refId>testing123</refId>
  <subscription>
    <name>Sample subscription</name>
    <paymentSchedule>
      <interval>
        <length>1</length>
        <unit>months</unit>
      </interval>
      <startDate>2007-05-25</startDate>
      <totalOccurrences>12</totalOccurrences>
      <trialOccurrences>1</trialOccurrences>
    </paymentSchedule>
    <amount>10.29</amount>
    <trialAmount>0.00</trialAmount>
    <payment>
      <creditCard>
        <cardNumber>4111111111111111</cardNumber>
        <expirationDate>2008-08</expirationDate>
      </creditCard>
    </payment>
    <billTo>
      <firstName>test</firstName>
      <lastName>test</lastName>
    </billTo>
  </subscription>
</ARBCreateSubscriptionRequest>
</CFXML>
</cfoutput>

<cfhttp method="POST" url="https://api.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api"  >
  <cfhttpparam type="Header" name="Accept-Encoding" value="deflate;q=0">
  <cfhttpparam type="Header" name="TE" value="deflate;q=0">
  <cfhttpparam name="body" type="xml" value="#ToString(myXml)#"  />
</cfhttp>
---------
And here's the result of cfdump on the cfhttp result:
-------
Charset      [empty string]
ErrorDetail     I/O Exception: peer not authenticated
Filecontent     Connection Failure
Header     [undefined struct element]
Mimetype     Unable to determine MIME type of file.
Responseheader     struct [empty]
Statuscode     Connection Failure. Status code unavailable.
Text     YES

Was this ever resolved?  I am having a problem getting this API working as well.

My problem was with the response.  Look out for the BOM that may be
included from authnet.  Replace(Trim(cfhttp.fileContent),chr(65279),'')
