[thelist] ColdFusion CFHTTP and Surepay.com

[Seth Bienek]

Hi Chris,

I ran the example they listed through CF's URLDecode() function, cleaned it
up a little, and this is what it came back with:

<!DOCTYPE pp.request PUBLIC " //IMALL//DTD PUREPAYMENTS 1.0//EN"
"http://www.purepayments.com/dtd/purepayments.dtd">
<pp.request merchant="1001" password="password">
	<pp.auth ordernumber="123" shippingcost="5.00USD" taxamount="1.00USD"
ipaddress="255.255.255.255"
ponumber="123"¢0verbalauthdate="20000524180056000">
		<pp.creditcard number="4111111111111111" expiration="12/02">
			<pp.address type="billing" fullname="Suzy Snowflake" address1="233 Jack
Frost Blvd" address2="Suite 820" city="Santa Monica" state="CA" zip="90401"
country="US" eveningphone="3103094100" email="null at imall.com" />
		</pp.creditcard>
		<pp.address type="shipping" fullname="Jack Frost" address1="25314 North
250 West" address2="Suite 110" city="Provo" state="UT" zip="84604"
country="US" eveningphone="8012265007" email="null at imall.com" />
		<pp.lineitem sku="P-1" description="Description-1" quantity="1"
taxrate="0" unitprice="10.00USD">
		</pp.lineitem>
	</pp.auth>
</pp.request>

As you can see, it's just an XML packet that validates to their DTD.  I'd
look at the DTD to make absolutely sure the fields in this packet map to
what you expect.

You can send this easily using cfcontent; make sure you use "text/xml" as
the content-type.

It would make a handy custom tag as well. :)

Regards,

Seth
