client that worked great in CF5, but is not working in CF MX.
In CF5 (Win2000/IIS5), we created a profile in IIS where we could
force .zip files to be parsed by ColdFusion. Doesn't matter why -
trust me, it was important. If necessary, I'm happy to provide
details.
In CFMX (in Win2003/IIS6), in order to duplicate the same behavior, we
had to add the .zip extension to Properties/Home
Directory/Configuration (like before). But we also had to add add the
.zip extension to the web.xml config file for CFMX.
The problem is that now all .zip files for all IIS profiles/web sites
get parsed by CFMX.
I've figured out the problem is due to the "Wildcard application maps"
setting, because if I remove it, the .zip files work as expected. But
none of the CF files work.
So my questions are:
- Why is the wildcard application map necessary when we already have
the .cfm extension configured with the CFMX ISPAI jrun_iis6.dll?
- Is there a simple way to fix my problem? I want the spoofed .zip
files to be parsed by CFMX for only one web site, but for all other
web sites, I do not want .zip files parsed? The only solution I can
think of is to create yet another web site profile in IIS and turn off
CFMX (by removing the wildcard application map) and put all the .zip
files there. This has an extremely high Pain In The Ass factor cost -
due to moving files from lots of web sites and updating tons of links.
Surely, there must be an easier way.
Thanks for any advice you wise people can provide.
