Re: File Upload - Changing MIME Types
This might be slightly off topic, but I am hoping that someone can steer me in the right direction. I have an upload form that should accept CSV files and nothing else. So I set the following MIME types as permitted: text/csv,text/comma-separated-values,application/csv,application/x-csv I have tested files on multiple machines using multiple OS and browser combinations. The exact same files work perfectly in some instances, yet fail in others. Even more strange is the fact that the failures have shown up as different MIME types. For example, I have seen text/plain and application/vnd.ms-excel and application/octet-stream. This whole thing leads me to two questions: 1) How can the exact same file be sent as a different MIME type depending upon the OS/browser combination? MIME types aren't set in stone, and browsers can send whatever they want. Because of this, filtering by MIME type is not an adequate security measure by itself - I could upload any sort of file and say it's, say, application/pdf (which frankly is a fairly insecure file type anyway, but let's not go into that). 2) Is it truly the security risk that it seems to be if I were to allow application/octet-stream, which as I understand is essentially a binary format? (The upload form and processor is behind a login, and the directory is outside of the web root, so that much is safe.) No, it's not. The security risk is to allow uploads of untrusted files of any type to any web-accessible directory, or even any directory that allows execution of files (although the latter is a much smaller risk generally). The MIME type application/octet-stream isn't the only binary format, either - it's just the one that gets applied when you have a binary file for which you don't know a better MIME type. Since executable binaries don't have a MIME type of their own, that's what gets applied.

Looking for the right SMTP server
Hi, I run several sites specialized for associations. They send thousand of mails to their members. Presently I'm using Mail-enable, but I'm looking for a better tool to help me manage all these mails. What I'd like is to be able to assign an Id to each mail and be able to trace it through all steps involved in the process. The way ME stores activities in flat log files makes it a PITA to do the job. What I'd like is to be able to: - have logs registered in a database so I can search for them and get reports easily from CF. - have simple logs like message delivered at such time or delivery failed for such reason. - logs include fields for Subject, From: and To: addresses Does any one know such a gem? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337603 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: File Upload - Changing MIME Types
From what I understand, the browser can send whatever mime type it wants. And yes, there are security concerns here. In my experience, dealing with mime types is a pain in the because browsers don't always seem to follow a standard when processing files. I think I found a java library that did a good job at identifying files (after the upload). I know that you can't trust the mime type that is sent from the browser, because it varies depending on the user agent, as you found.

Apache Worker MPM w/ JRun
I've been all around mod_jrun22 in the last couple days, and I know way more than I want to. However, I can't get it to work quite right. Environment: Debian Lenny 5.0.6 Apache 2.2.9, Worker MPM (ideally) JRun4 build 108673 CF 8.0.1 Enterprise in multiserver config I've compiled the connector with apxs2. Debian's default MPM is the worker (threaded) MPM. Under load I received a bunch of messages in the apache error log, along the lines of startSync - detected broken mutex!... In digging through the code, it appears unless APACHE_APR_THREAD is defined when the connector is compiled, the mutex library call is never made. (At least for linux... Windows connectors have other means) I find this interesting because wsconfig doesn't define that flag either, and I can't find it anywhere in /usr/include/... So, I define the flag and recompile. All the errors go away and the connector works great. Except that a couple requests go out to lunch. Under heavy load, mod_jrun will drop random connections with the following message: JRun will not accept request. Check JRun web server configuration and JRun mappings on JRun server. Which responds to the client with an ugly 500 error. I understand the error when you send a file extension like .html to JRun and there's no mapping in the web.xml... However, this is for a cfm page, whether it's a index.cfm found via DirectoryIndex or some other cfm page on the server. 99%+ of the requests go through fine, it's just this one request every couple hours that won't behave that's driving me crazy. So it can't be a config issue. Turning on tracing would likely write so much information to the log as to be unusable with the load required to reproduce this issue. Switching to the perfork MPM removes the problem entirely. It does, however, significantly increase CPU load on the server. I've used JMeter to send tens of thousands of requests against the connector without any issues. It's very hard to create artificial load to reproduce the problem... but real load makes it happen several times a day. Which brings me to my question... Is anyone out there successfully using mod_jrun22 in an Apache 2.2 environment with the worker MPM? CF8.0.1/CF9/CF9.0.1? Success stories? I've considered upgrading JRun/CF to more recent versions, but a quick scan of the JRun connector code in CF9 and 9.0.1 yields only minor changes... Looks like mod_deflate fixes finally made it into 9.0.1 and 9.0 mostly pertained to Winsock2 upgrades. Any information would be helpful! Thanks.

Re: File Upload - Changing MIME Types
As I understand it, the files are not actually sent in any MIME type, per se, but the receiving browser interprets MIME type based on its coding, which, as you found out, is determined by both OS and browser settings. No, I don't think this is correct. When downloading a file from a web server, the web server does generally specify the MIME type. The browser may ignore that and treat the file as if it were a different MIME type, but the server does specify a MIME type for static files automatically. When uploading a file to a web server (which is the basis for the original question) the browser builds a multipart MIME request, which specifies the MIME type for each uploaded file.

Actually I disagree with what is best to go with based on your OS. It is all going to boil down to your requirements, for us we needed to know what changes had been made at the ticket level. And as we already had Jira installed it was a no brainer to use Subversion to do this. What this means is that I can look up a ticket at any time, and actually see what files had changed and when. But that is not for everyone either, so I would be sitting down and working out what your long term plan is. If you are also always in house, and have centralised developers then a centralised repository is just as good as any decentralised one, if not better.

No you do not need to declare an array in this case. It is not actually an array; it is just called array notation because it is the same syntax you would use on an array.

CFDOCUMENT OpenOffice Problem

Re: What version-/source control are you using (if any)?
The Big 3 out there right now are Subversion, Mercurial, and Git. I personally use Subversion and Git, and they're both good. Whatever you do, stay away from Vault/Fortress from Sourcegear. That's what we're forced to use at work. It's labeled as a VSS replacement, and while it is a little bit better than VSS, it's still pretty pathetic and a waste of money. Within 3 days of switching to it, we were already having discussions about getting rid of it.

Drivers for Access databases under CF 9
Hi, There are two drivers for Access database in CF9 : - Microsoft Access - Microsoft Access with unicode If I choose the first one, the query below works and yield the same results as when run in Access itself. However, If I use the driver with Unicode, the LEFT JOIN returns no data. The table succes is actually a view, not a table. I suspect the first driver is ODBC, the second is JDBC. There must be some problem in the JDBC driver.

any solution to cfmailparam attachment as alternate filename
so we're sending out a set of contracts and whatnots to vendors as PDF attachment on an email. we would LIKE to have the attachment named VendorContract.pdfHowever, we've run into a concurrency issue with naming the file and cfmailing. as i understand it the cfmail tag only writes the spool file. the spool server then at a later time, reads the spool folder for files and actually attaches the file data when it sends out the email. so cflocking within the code wouldn't do anything. is there a realistic alternative? if cfmailparam could attach as another filename attribute, it'd be awesome...

Multi-selects Related with CFAjaxProxy
I'm looking at Brian Rinaldi's article,
http://coldfusion.dzone.com/articles/multi-selects-related-cfajaxpr and I'm
wondering about this JS:
function callFill(thisSelect,target) {
formItemToFill = target;
selectBoxes = new SelectBoxes();
selectBoxes.setCallbackHandler(fill);
selectBoxes.getFillQuery(thisSelect.options[thisSelect.selectedIndex].value);
}
function fill(r) {
var i = 0;
var foo2 = document.forms['myForm'].foo2;
foo2.options.length = 0;
for (i in r.DATA) {
foo2.options[i] = new Option(r.DATA[i][0],r.DATA[i][1]);
}
}
...and I have a question: function fill has hardcoded references to foo2 and
seems to ignore target passed in to callFill. I suspect there's an easy fix
but I'm currently blanking on it. Can you help?

Re: Drivers for Access databases under CF 9
It sounds as though you are just expecting CF to somehow automatically pickup windows ODBC data sources. This wont happen. It only worked when you upgraded form CF5 because you were upgrading ColdFusion, so it knew about the data sources in the cfadmin and migrated. You need to add the datasources via the coldfusion administrator, this creates an ODBC DSN and then creates a JDBC bridge to connect to it. Sorry if I misunderstood, if you have done this already then read on. If you look in C:\ColdFusion9\lib\neo-datasource.xml you will find all the DSN's defined in here. Check all the connection properties of the working DSN's and compare them to the non working DSN's and see if there is anything different. If you then look in C:\ColdFusion9\db\slserver54\cfg\swandm.ini You will find all the dsn's defined in here as well for the jdbc connector each dsn is defined like this [DataSource_5] Type=6 DataSourceLogonMethod=OSIntegrated DataSourceProviderTypesFile=C:\ColdFusion9\db\slserver54\bin\swsoc.ini ServiceName=ColdFusion 9 ODBC Server DataSourceName=mydsn DataSourceSOCODBCConnStr=dsn=mydsn DataSourceFetchTimeStampAsString=0 make sure they are defined here, comparing the working ones against broken ones and see if there is any glaring difference. trol pane If all is good, then you should check that the actual ODBC DSN is working, you can do this from administrative tools/Data Sources ODBC find the DSN and then simply test it to make sure it works. If not, then its a windows ODBC problem. Try re-creating the ODBC DSN directly in windows instead of with CF and see if that helps.

Re: Trying to set cfform focus in an Ajax window
It might be that the form hasn't been added to the dom, though that's usually not the case since the js comes after the form code. However if you'll remember a few days ago I suggested: 1.

Re: Drivers for Access databases under CF 9
I get the impression that he's trying to create new Access datasources from the CF Administrator without having existing ODBC datasources pointing to those Access databases. That should work fine. Exactly. First, CF 9 installation does not import automatically CF 5 databases. I had to redefined all of them. The only thing is that when one gives the name of the Datasource, the ODBC connection is recognized and the correct path for the database file is automatically set. I just tried to define the new database first in CF 5, then in CF 9. It recognize the ODBC connection like for all others, but still gives the same error. Under CF5, the DSN works fine. The only thing special about this database is that it has views defined, but I don't thing this matters, the driver cannot even connect to it. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337663 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Looking for the right SMTP server
Smartertools used to be great, but the bigger they got the more arrogant they got and the higher their prices got and the worse the customer service got, you wouldn't believe how rude they are. I think smartermail was the best solution on a budget for a long while, not sure if that is still the case now though, although it is not as expensive as some. We put hundreds of thousands of emails through MDaemon every day, on a not especially powerful server. So if your prepared to pay for a mail solution, this is the best one we have used so far, support is pretty good too. We also use Merak Mail which has done us well for many years, however it is far too expensive now and their support is the most diabolical you could imagine. You cannot trust any advice they give you as it could totally screw up your server and cause email to be lost, that is if they even reply, not unusual for them to take weeks or even months to reply to tickets.

Re: Trying to set cfform focus in an Ajax window
By callback I mean the function that you've defined for execution when the ajax call receives a successful response.

I personally don't ever use CF's brand of ajax functionality (of cfform for that matter) so I can't say for sure why it would be happening. I generally either write my own and lately have started using JQuery a lot more. (Anyone who knows me knows that this is a big step for me to use something pre-written, but that's a different story.)

Re: Drivers for Access databases under CF 9
Can you create a new data source using an existing Access file? Actually no. I already have 25 datasources, all with the same driver, all created with the same Access version, all work fine, but no new datasource is recognized. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337678 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Drivers for Access databases under CF 9
... I even tried this: - delete an old datasource which worked. - redefine it, no problem, still works. - made a copy of the same file in another directory, create a new datasource on it... doesn't work :-( ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337679 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: What version-/source control are you using (if any)?
What I like about git is the ability to work offline and still commit changes, the lightweight branches and generally easier merging. I also like that you have a copy of the entire repository, if you use hosting it makes it very easy to change hosts. Currently though I am using the hosted Jira Studio (which is quite awesome if you are a small group, as the pricing is very reasonable for the quality of tools you get) and it only includes SVN hosting so that's what I use. It's generally pretty good although you really want to avoid having to reconcile multiple changes to a file as it's a real pain to do in my experience. --- Mary Jo ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337680 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
