•
header: specifies an HTTP header. ColdFusion does not
URL encode the header.
•
CGI: specifies an HTTP header. ColdFusion URL
encodes the header by default.
•
body: specifies the body of the HTTP request.
ColdFusion does not automatically set a content-type
header or URL encode the body contents. To specify
the content-type, use a separate
cfhttp
tag with
type=header
.
•
XML: identifies the request as having a content-type of
text/xml. Specifies that the
value
attribute contains the
body of the HTTP request. Used to send XML to the
destination URL. ColdFusion does not URL encode the
XML data.
•
file: tells ColdFusion to send the contents of the
specified file. ColdFusion does not URL encode the file
contents.
•
URL: specifies a URL query string name-value pair to
append to the
cfhttp
url
attribute. ColdFusion URL
encodes the query string.
•
formField: specifies a form field to send. ColdFusion
URL encodes the Form field by default.
•
cookie: specifies a cookie to send as an HTTP header.
ColdFusion URL encodes the cookie.

send in the request.

Optional (and
ignored) for File

Applies to File type; invalid for all other types. Specifies the
MIME media type of the file contents. The content type
can include an identifier for the character encoding of the

that the file is HTML text in the ISO Latin-1 character
encoding.
