ColdFusion 2021 CFHTTP returning 404
December 31, 2020
In ColdFusion 2021 I encountered a new wrinkle when using CFHTTP. The url attribute must contain no leading or trailing spaces:
<cfhttp url="#trim(someurlvariable)#">
In my case the value of someurlvariable was coming from a database.

Weird. IsValid("url") and isValid("email") allow leading or trailing carriage returns, new lines, tabs or spaces. (They shouldn't. Most regex rules don't trim strings before testing them.) I tested using TryCF.com and invalid spaces appear to be used with CFHTTP using 2021,0,0,323925.

@James I noticed that TryCF.com appears to be running on a Linux platform. This problem occurred in a Windows environment. Perhaps it's an issue with the JVM or even the OS.
