I'll just add that if one is using cfdocument pointing with HTML within it (such as img src, script src, etc) that points to local files, be sure to use the localurl="true" attribute on cfdocument. Otherwise it creates the equivalent of a cfhttp to each such file, which it really doesn't need to. Can make a huge difference in some instances.
BTW, Kier, when you said it was slow for PNGs, I'm curious if this may have helped. (cfdocument doesn't really "process" pngs in any way differently than other formats, that I know of.) Also, and perhaps related, there were some image-processing bugs fixed in one of the hotfixes for CF 8/8.01. While they were primarily related to cfimage, perhaps they could be related in some indirect way to some underlying processing of cfdocument (to Kier's observation). Hope that's helpful. /charlie > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of Kier Simmons > Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2011 2:33 PM > To: '[email protected]' > Subject: RE: [Possible SPAM] [houcfug] Brainstorming time.. > > Storing the image as a blob in the database itself then calling the > image directly using cfimage would probably do it.
