I've got a weird one today. If I run the following code in Coldfusion 2021 on my server, I get a broken image. If I run the same code on CF2018, it displays the image as expected. If I run this code in cffiddle (trycf doesn't support cfcdocument) on CF2021, it works fine. If I switch out the image url for a different one (), it works fine on my server. If I download the original image, and put it at a different URL, it also works fine. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to debug this problem?

My hunch would be https related. Can you try it on ACF2021 using http?

looks like i can't. If I go there in a browser, I get redirected to https. If I put http in cffiddle, it doesn't show the image. Same thing locally.

I would try CFHTTP to retrieve the image and see what the resultant headers say... Maybe certificate related.

oh, that's a good idea.

Just throwing it in here: something to do with TLS 1.2 / 1.3 settings in server arguments? Just a thought

Pete's blog is my goto reading when I've had SSL issues - this may help https://www.petefreitag.com/item/852.cfm

the recommendation for the handshake exception is just to upgrade java. But I'm running Java 11.0.13. And since it works on 2018 with Java 11.0.13, and does not work on 2021 with Java 11.0.13, there must be a Coldfusion setting somewhere that's causing this.

Tim, did you end up sorting this out? If not, the fact that it fails on some cf2021's (yours) but not that on cffiddle (nor for me) suggests this is something on your end. There are other clues you've shared that we could dig into, but before doing that, is this even still an issue for you?

it is still an issue. And i agree that it's probably something on my end. But I don't know how to track down what. I've out for the next hour and a half, but I can tackle this again after that.
