>>In Claude's original question, it doesn't appear he's using CFCONTENT:
Yes I am.
Here is a summary of the code in application.cfm:
You can see that the requested file is never executed nor intended to.
The only purpose of the .cfm extension is to force the execution of the
application.cfm
Here, the code in application.cfm is only used to count the nb of times each
document was requested.
The advantages of the method are 1. simplicity, 2. it is compatible with
previous documents uploaded with true .pdf and .doc extension prior we
implemented this counting scheme.
The only problem which we didn't figure out at the time is that the template is
compiled BEFORE application.cfm is called.
It could have been AFTER as well and CF would still work the same.
In pure logic, there is no use to compile a template before it is certain it
will be executed.
There are other cases templates are compiled for nothing, ie:
application.cfm verifies a user is logged, if not, it <CFLOCATIONs the user
toward the loggin script, then the template he called is never executed.
CF could have very well been designed so that templates are compiled only if
executed.
Now I know it is not the case.
