oddity with cfmx
ok, I bring my cf5 server up to speed, put cfmx on it, and now, some weird stuffbut here is just the first onemore to come!! www.navtrak.net/uploads/ is a directory on our webserver that has files that we let clients download. anything, any file, doesn't matter the type, nothing cf special about it, really, just links to files, but if the user clicks on a file that is an exe file, when they are prompted to save it, they arent given the extension any longer, and ie thinks its some off type of fileanywayenough confusion it used to be that with cf5 running on the server, there was no issue, they would click on the file, the save dialog box would come up, filename + extension, no thought required from clients.now, they just get the file name, no extension, therefore they save an exe file as some other type of extension, and you can imagine my tech supprt guys flipping out . truthfully, I really have a hard time stomaching that this is an mx problem, but nothing besides this has changed on the server. help??!!??!!? ..tony Tony Weeg Senior Web Developer Information System Design Navtrak, Inc.

RE: oddity with cfmx
That is an odd one. It's definitely an IIS setting -- I would check to make sure Scripts only is checked in IIS Home Directory Configuration for one, though I'm not sure that's the cause. By the way, I was able to access your presumably-sensitive data by using test/test to login -- I see developers inadvertently do this all too often. :) --D ### David Notik Digital202, LLC Imagination gone digital.
