"Mike" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 01/22/2002 10:56:12 AM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: well-baked cookies I'm trying to push cfcookie's usage to the limit, by storing and readin g lots of user information on it. Can someone share some thoughts on the following? 1. is it possible to store complexed variables (i.e - arrays and/or structure) into a cookie? is that adviseable? 2. is it possible to store XML or WDDX packets into Cookie? 3. is it possible to store encrypted values in a cfcookie, i.e: <cfcookie name="foo" value="#Encrypt(foo,"123")#"> and then re-use the ordinary within a cfquery SELECT from ..... WHERE userpassword='#Decrypt(Cookie.foo ,"123")#' does this takes noticable time and process usage? I mean - much more th en NOT encrypting? -M. ______________________________________________________________________ Get Your Own Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusionb FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
