Strange, you're right about emailing the dump. I like the email though. I guess when you write the full info to disk you can email yourself that an error occurred and the basic message with a link to your log or something.
I still email the dump, but I think I may just do what you mentioned. I like it emailing though so I can get notified on my BlackBerry when there is an error. Warning to anyone that wants to try emailing your Cell/PDA: Don't do it if your server generates many errors. I've had a few times when someone tried to take down a server by looping over a URL with invalid numerical values for an ID var. They put it in a loop for if I remember correctly a thousand iterations at 3AM!

Slurp throwing CFerrors What Mark is talking about is Slurp putting in its own url vars, if I read him correctly. I've seen the same thing. When I first saw it I thought it was someone hacking. Heck, it still might be. Amen to using errors to detect site flaws. Reminds you of stuff like the need to handle, for example, a form submission page that gets hit with a GET instead of a POST. I personally no longer email errors. They get stored to disk on the server. Don't like cfdumping entire scopes like I do and then emailing them in the clear. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
