ColdFusion - CFHTTP (https) sending request over port 80

I am using CFHTTP to connect to a server and post some parameters. I have successfully imported the certificate. 

<cfhttp url="https://xml.proveid.experian.com/IDSearch.cfc" method="post" result="response" port="443">
    <cfhttpparam type="Header" name="Accept-Encoding" value="*"> 
    <cfhttpparam type="header" name="content-length" value="#len(arguments.xml)#"  />   
    <cfhttpparam type="xml" value="#trim(arguments.xml)#" />
</cfhttp>

As you can see the request is for port 443 but the error I got back is:

struct Charset [empty string]
ErrorDetail Connect Exception: Connect to xml.proveid.experian.com:80
[xml.proveid.experian.com/194.60.180.108]
failed: Connection timed out: connect
Filecontent Connection Failure Header [empty string]
Mimetype Unable to determine MIME type of file.
Responseheader struct [empty]
Statuscode Connection Failure. Status code unavailable.
Text YES Connection Failure. Status code unavailable.

Can anyone explain why the request is made on port 80?

https://xml.proveid.experian.com/IDSearch.cfc (port 443) is immediately redirecting to http://xml.proveid.experian.com:80/CFIDE/componentutils/cfcexplorer.cfc?method=getcfcinhtml&name=oneninetwo.corpwsdl2.IDSearch&path=/IDSearch.cfc (port 80)

It's that second page that is timing out.

It seems that the specific web service doesn't play well with CFHTTP. So this approach solved the problem.

<cfset args.xml = 'xml value'>

<cfinvoke 
                webservice="https://xml.proveid.experian.com/IDSearch.cfc?wsdl"
                method="search"
                returnvariable="aTemp"
                argumentCollection="#args#"> 

</cfinvoke>
