Cfhttp is getting Re-redirected

I am trying to use CFhttp and redirect to a page, but it puts me back to the login area of my wordpress blog.

I get different responses when I try to go two different urls.

URL 1: the admin area of wordpress
URL 2: the login area of wordpress

When I try to use CFhttp to go the admin area... it just shows (redirects to) the login. I want it to cfhttp to the admin area! I am already logged in, so that is not the issue. I also don't think that this is a wordpress issue per se, but it's what I'm working with.

Below are the two different header responses from the two pages:

URL 1: (This does not go where I want it to - it re-redirects to the login page)

This is definitely a cookie and cfhttp problem.

I need to figure out how to get the cookie information and pass it through. When i try it now, it returns this info:

Cookie Name= wordpress_test_cookie
Cookie Value= WP+Cookie+check

These are not real cookie names and values...

that first link i posted explains in great detail how to extract returned cookie info and use it in subsequent cfhttp requests.

It's a bit in depth for me at my expertise level, so it will probably take me a while to figure it out.

Ben's explanation just looks overwhelming - once you start working through the code it is actually pretty straight-forward.
his code samples are always top-notch, and you will probably pick up a few good code habits from there (i know i did!).

just shout if you get stuck or need any help!
