Well some developers like hard coding paths like he has done below, which means the code has to be changed if it is ever moved to a new host. Whereas your more experienced developers tend to use ExpandPath() to dynamically calucate paths so that the code works anywhere without being changed.

I set up IIS and I get one web site. Fine. I also write code that has, within /Application.cfm, something like this: <cfscript> if ((not CompareNoCase(cgi.Server_Name,"localhost"))) { request.SSLHRef="http://localhost/foohbar/";; request.BareHRef="http://localhost/foohbar/";; request.FilePath="c:/inetpub/wwwroot/foohbar/"; } else { request.SSLHRef="https://secure.foohbar,com/";; request.BareHRef="http://foohbar.com/";; request.FilePath="z:/somewhere/else/"; } </cfscript> I almost never use cookie-scope vars, but for those who do suppose I can see why you might want to be able to examine a 'clean' cookie not affected by stuff from another project. But as they go this has always given me seamless operation between dev and live web servers. Given that, this utility seems to be a solution looking for a problem. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:228312 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
