If you OnRequestEnd.cfm the you get the same CGI variables and if you are using hub-n-spoke technique the tracking capabilities are innocuous and powerful. The HTTP exchange can be quite verbose so I try to "minimize" it.
You could put tcpdump with ethereal or some other packet sniffer to track the conversation. a lurker -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Karen Harker Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 2:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Response time and CFLOCATION We have been using a link hit counter to track which links our users are selecting. This involves passing a linkID number to a "linkUsage.cfm" template, that does these things: 1) Finds the right table (1/month) and creates a new one, if needed (i.e. the beginning of the month) 2) Inserts a row in this table 3) Finds the URL based on the linkID 4) Uses CFLOCATION to send the user on this URL. Response time for such an application is getting too long (upwards of 10 seconds). I've tested the system up to the point of the CFLOCATION tag and the response times have averaged about 260 milliseconds (0.260 sec?), which seems reasonable. So that leaves the CFLOCATION tag as the potential reason for the slow response. Does anybody else have info about CFLOCATION and its potential slowness? Does anybody else have a better solution?
