> * can't set cookies and use CFLOCATION at the same time
Erm, if you use the ASP version of CFLocation, then you can't set cookies
either - it's down to the way that the browser handles it... you want to
rant at something over this, moan at the HTTP standard
> * can't remove/delete cookies that are mixed case (sometimes set by other
> programs on your website)
I didn't know this, as I've managed to remove cookies quite happily before
whether they are upper or lower case, never tried it with mixed case...
> * can't talk to COM objects that expect the ASP object model
Erm, neither can anything but ASP... rather like saying "I can't play my CDs
in my tape player"... if you want to use specific ASP COM objects then
you're gonna have to use ASP (obv)
> * can't provide unbuffered output
CF5+
> * can't easily extend the CFFORM functionality
Yes you can, but you have to re-work the base JS functions and Form tags -
then again, when was the last time in ASP you typed something as easy as a
CFForm tag and got all of the JS validation built-in? Never to my
knowledge... Same with Perl, PHP, etc.
CFForm is great for it's limited use - as soon as you want to go further you
have to re-write, then again, it gives you a damn good starting place
You want to rant about things, we could start an ASP rant;
* Limited built in functionality, you have to buy or download bits which CF
has built in such as email
* Too many security holes as hackers target M$ applicatons
* M$ one only runs on II$ which has too many security issues (see above
problem)
* Code can take ages to code - one line of CF code requires 5-6 lines of ASP
code
I could go on, but you get the idea...
If you want the best tool, it can sometimes take longer to find the exact
one than to get the whole job done
If you want to do this, then you'll end up with some code in CF, some in
ASP, some in PHP, some in CGI... how easy is that going to be to update?
