I have a password system that requires a two second delay after a failed password attempt, to foil brute force automated cracking attempts. There's two tags in the developers exchange - CFX_Sleep and CF_aSleep.
CFX_Sleep is free, but I don't really want to go to the bother of getting a CFX installed on shared hosting. CF_aSleep is $5, and claims: "Will delay execution of the current template for specified number of seconds by TRUE BLOCKING of the current reguest, as opposed to looping, or doing some useless job. Tag WILL CONSUME MINIMAL SYSTEM RESOURCES while sleeping." Has anyone used this tag? I don't mind forking out the $5 (actually $10 in Australian pesos) but does it really work? Does anyone have a better way of delaying the user for a certain amount of time? Thanks, Kay. ______________________________________________________ Kay Smoljak - ColdFusion Developer - PerthWeb Pty Ltd Level 9/105 St George's Terrace - Perth - Western Australia Ph: (08) 9226 1366 Fax: (08) 9226 1375 www.perthweb.com.au http://developer.perthweb.com.au - Tools for Developers cfx_pwcamtech | cfx_pwimageproc | cfx_pwcardcyrpt ______________________________________________________________________ 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/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
