To decipher Coldfusion, I am telling it to submit a multi-part form encoded in UTF-8. I know most of you don't know Coldfusion, but you can see my variables below...do I even have the correct variables here?

I haven't used Cold Fusion but the following content type looks incorrect:

<cfhttpparam type="header" name="content-type" value="text/plain">

The HTTP request header should be "mutipart/form-data" instead of "text/plain".

To spot check your entire request, you should inspect the HTTP request headers and body that is constructed. You can dump this yourself or send it to a service like RequestBin ( https://requestb.in/).

Your HTTP request should look something like the example in the Developer Guide:

http://ringcentral-api-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/messages_faxes/

1 |3000
