Getting Basic Authentication to work with ColdFusion
I am trying to send an authenticated POST request using ColdFusion, but for some reason, the server is rejecting the request as unauthorized. I have verified that the credentials are correct.
<cfhttp url="https://api.juspay.in/order/create" method="POST"
username="320EABE1225D45E6B13DF5D3D2BBDB80" password="">
<cfhttpparam name="amount" type="formField" value="10">
<cfhttpparam name="order_id" type="formField" value="cfhttp_test_order_001">
<cfhttpparam name="customer_id" type="formField" value="10">
<cfhttpparam name="customer_email" type="formField" value="user@mail.com">
<cfhttpparam name="customer_phone" type="formField" value="1122112211">
<cfhttpparam name="description" type="formField" value="test">
</cfhttp>
Same thing works in curl. For instance
curl https://api.juspay.in/order/create
-u 320EABE1225D45E6B13DF5D3D2BBDB80:
-d "amount=10"
-d "order_id=curl_test_order_001"
-d "customer_id=10"
-d "customer_email=user@mail.com"
-d "customer_phone=1122112211"
-d "description=test"
The above curl command return HTTP 200 which is what I am trying to achieve. I am unable to figure out what I am missing in the ColdFusion code.
The following actually worked. Please consider this answered:
<cfhttp method="post" url="https://api.juspay.in/order/create" result="result">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization" value="Basic #ToBase64("320EABE1225D45E6B13DF5D3D2BBDB80:")#" />
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="amount" value="10" />
</cfhttp>
