Just setup a dedicated VM running Windows Server 2012 with CF11 (up-to-date with hf19) to run a few legacy scripts that are not able to be refactored due to a need for a 32-bit ODBC connection. All of the scripts pull the data from a local ODBC and then push the data to our production server via

cfhttp

over an https protocol. What I can't seem to wrap my head around is that when I run these scripts in the browser using the resolved URL (not

localhost

, but that also works fine), all is right in the world. But when the scheduler runs them:

"Error","DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-1","03/07/23","13:55:27",,"Connection Failure: Status code unavailable "
coldfusion.tagext.net.HttpTag$HttpConnectionFailureException: Connection Failure: Status code unavailable
	at coldfusion.tagext.net.HttpTag.connHelper(HttpTag.java:1311)
	at coldfusion.tagext.net.HttpTag.runCall(HttpTag.java:1413)
	at coldfusion.scheduling.CronTask.execute(CronTask.java:121)
	at org.quartz.core.JobRunShell.run(JobRunShell.java:207)
	at org.quartz.simpl.SimpleThreadPool$WorkerThread.run(SimpleThreadPool.java:560)

I already imported the production server's cert into the

castore

. Also the Root CA has been added to the

castore

@Sean Callahan Often times that error is related to a low-level SSL error which Adobe does a terrible job at reporting.

The file running on this VM is something along the lines of this:

<!--- file contents of getTaxCodes.cfm --->
<cfquery name="getTaxCodes" datasource="#request.dsn#">
	SELECT taxCode,
		   taxRate
	  FROM taxTable
	 WHERE taxClass = 'TX'
</cfquery>
<cfset taxCodeData = "">
<cfoutput query="getTaxCodes">
	<cfset taxCodeData &= trim(getTaxCodes.taxCode)>
	<cfset taxCodeData = ListAppend(taxCodeData, val(getTaxCodes.taxRate))>
	<cfset taxCodeData &= "|">
</cfoutput>
<cfhttp method="post" url="<https://www.productionServer.com/processTaxCodes.cfm>" timeout="6000">
	<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="taxCodeData" value="#taxCodeData#">
</cfhttp>

This code was working just fine on our development server, but I'm porting all of these older scripts to this new VM so that I can update the development environment and production environment since the only thing that was holding them back was the need for this 32-bit connection. Basically when I run the URL of

<https://cf11Server.com/getTaxCodes.cfm>

in a browser, all works just fine. But when the CRON tries to run the scheduled job of that same URL, that's when I receive the error.

To be clear, is the CFHTTP call INSIDE of

getTaxCodes.cfm

what is failing, or is the initial CRON connection to

getTaxCodes.cfm

what fails?

The ColdFusion task scheduler. The error in the original post is from the

exceptions.log

file.

Can you comment the CFHTTP out that's inside the scheduled task for testing and see if everything else runs?

I'm going to make a dummy file really quick that doesn't even do anything, pop it into the scheduler, and make sure it fires without error.

Because this stack trace

"Error","DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-1","03/07/23","13:55:27",,"Connection Failure: Status code unavailable "
coldfusion.tagext.net.HttpTag$HttpConnectionFailureException: Connection Failure: Status code unavailable

	at org.quartz.simpl.SimpleThreadPool$WorkerThread.run(SimpleThreadPool.java:560)

makes me think you're never even calling the original URL

Yeah, I was just looking at that too, which makes me wonder if the scheduler itself has an issue.
