http - Getting Basic Authentication to work with ColdFusion

Question

I am trying to send an authenticated POST request using ColdFusion, but for some reason, the server is rejecting the request as unauthorized. I have verified that the credentials are correct.

<cfhttp url="https://api.juspay.in/order/create" method="POST"  
    username="320EABE1225D45E6B13DF5D3D2BBDB80" password="">
    <cfhttpparam name="amount" type="formField" value="10">
    <cfhttpparam name="order_id" type="formField" value="cfhttp_test_order_001">
    <cfhttpparam name="customer_id" type="formField" value="10">
    <cfhttpparam name="customer_email" type="formField" value="[email protected]">
    <cfhttpparam name="customer_phone" type="formField" value="1122112211">
    <cfhttpparam name="description" type="formField" value="test">
</cfhttp>

Same thing works in curl. For instance

curl https://api.juspay.in/order/create 
    -u 320EABE1225D45E6B13DF5D3D2BBDB80: 
    -d "amount=10" 
    -d "order_id=curl_test_order_001" 
    -d "customer_id=10" 
    -d "[email protected]" 
    -d "customer_phone=1122112211" 
    -d "description=test" 

The above curl command return HTTP 200 which is what I am trying to achieve. I am unable to figure out what I am missing in the ColdFusion code.

The following actually worked. Please consider this answered:

<cfhttp method="post" url="https://api.juspay.in/order/create" result="result">
    <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Authorization" value="Basic #ToBase64("320EABE1225D45E6B13DF5D3D2BBDB80:")#" />
    <cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="amount" value="10" />
</cfhttp>
