Posting to PayPal

[Mike Gillespie]

PayPal is telling me that they are not getting my post data.  Any suggestion on what I am doing wrong here?  Do I actually need to put the JSON data in a cfhttpparam tag?

<cfhttp method="post" url="#variables.apiURL##theQuote.auth_id#/capture" result="ppcapt">
   <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content_Type" value="application/json" >
   <cfhttpparam type="header" name="PayPal-Request-Id" value="#theQuote.pp_request_id#" >
   <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization" value="Basic #ToBase64(variables.apiClientID & ":" & variables.apiSecret)#">
   {"amount":{"currency":"USD","total":"#replace(decimalformat(totalCost),',','','all')#"},"is_final_capture":true,invoice_id:"#invoiceData.invoice#","note_to_payer":"Invoice #invoiceData.invoice# has been generated, paid and closed for Service #arguments.quotenumber#."}
</cfhttp>

That would be one of my initial thoughts, yes.

In the body though, not the header.  On phone, just initial reactions from memory.

Try putting that content not between the cfhttp tags but in a cfhttpparam with type="body".

unbelievable.  In over 20 years of doing CF I have never used type=body for a cfhttpparam - never had to and didn't even consider that it existed or was needed.  I am embarrassed that I did not RTFM for this one.

Thanks y'all

Just doin’ my job, sir. They don’t call me “the CF librarian” for nuthin’. :-)  And even I “still ain’t seen it all” after nearly 25 years. There’s just a lot to it, and the great community behind it has helped us all so very much over the years.

Was nice “hearin’ a peep” out of this group after such a long while. Until again.
