Hey guys, I'm trying to interact with the IBM Watson API from Lucee 4 and am running into a problem with <cfhttp>.

Here is the code:

<cfhttp
 url="https://stream.watsonplatform.net/text-to-speech/api/v1/synthesize?text=hello%20world"
 method="get">

 <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization" value="Basic #ToBase64("myusername:mypassword")#">

</cfhttp>


<cfdump var="#cfhttp#"><cfabort>

I can get a response via curl and via the browser (after I authenticate) Any thoughts on how to best troubleshoot this?

Thanks,

Brian

What JRE version are you using? If Java 7 then try upgrading to 8.

Thanks Julian,

I am using the Lucee4 docker image and was able to get this resolved thanks to the help of Joe Gooch and Geoff Bowers. I don't know how to explain it particularly well, but basically it turned out the cacerts in Lucee needed to be updated with the cacerts from the Java runtime on the host operating system, as the Lucee cacerts are a bit out of date (or something).

For future users of the Lucee Docker images, the good news is that it looks like Joe and Geoff are working together to get this patch into the base Lucee Docker images so future users (at least those using the Docker images) won't run into it.
