You would have to ask THAT question, eh? Fortunately, unless you're uploading binary data the payload/body of the http message is basically just standard url encoded data.

But it can be a challenge to do it by hand. (3.x has some mime + s/mime handling routines to take care of care of the bulk of this. It has to to be able to handle s/mime.) --min ~~ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com. The place for dependable ColdFusion Hosting.

Part of the reason it's 3.5MB download is that it includes the *complete* source code to the project. You'll have to visit pkzip.com to get a copy of pkzip25.exe to run the batch files that zips up everything (leaving out all the compiler temp files) though.

If not, the obj.socket, obj.thread and obj.remote may help resolve the issue. obj.remote tells you the ip of the remote that it connected to, if it connected at all.

Don't forget to close it afterward though: (HTTP will remotely close a connection after it sends any data -- annoying for sat connections but that's the way it is -- but the Close also does some garbage handling on the local client end that you really shouldn't rely on the object going out of scope to handle because the tag was originally designed to be persistent across pages.).

UDPClient COM object
Been awhile... Anyway, there's a new COM object at http://www.intrafoundation.com/udpclient.html. It allows one to send and receive UDP packets from CF, ASP, etc. What good is that you ask? Not much granted, unless you into gaming, want to directly interface with ICQ to chat with udp-based routers. There are couple working CF scripts that list game stats and players (frags, ping, name, etc) for quake 2/3, etc. I literally wrote the thing late last night so none of the documents are correct and it's still an alpha, but if anyone would like to check it out and look for obvious bugs that would be nice. /-) --min ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

The current design of most HTTP servers that seperates it from a database makes this inefficient.

You're grabbing raw binary data here (the contents of the jpeg), not text. Try using notepad to open an image on your local machine. You'll probably see the same thing. You could try saving the variable as a file to your hard drive. That might work. Probably not though. I haven't tried that in ages but as I recall CF had issues with the NULLs (the 0's) in such variables and wouldn't properly address the entire contents. That may have been fixed in cf4.5. Not sure as I generally use a COM I wrote called TCPClient to do all my CFHTTP-like work.

If you're using c/c++ there's (crusty, uncompleted, embarassing) source code with the secPOSTService in the IHTK.

It won't win me any friends at Allaire, but sometimes... just sometimes I really wonder about their programmers. :) Perhaps then this means it is sending proper headers, but 98% of the web servers on the planet are looking for the (mandatory) crlf delimiters and aren't seeing them.

I don't use cf much anymore but it seems like a lot of the complaints about it I've seen over the last few months involve exactly what you're talking about it. The host http server is a multi-homed ip and CFHTTP isn't sending the appropriate "host: x" message.

The proper (soft) closing of a socket generally involves initiating a shutdown sequence where the connection lingers around for a while to make sure everything that was meant to be sent actually gets there. A lot of people (myself included) have a tendacy to do an immediate hard closure of the socket though. Less hassle.

Once upon a time I started to make a dynaimc wddx-base cf portal. You could probably implement something similiar here That is, anyone who has answered a frequently-asked-question can place them in an xml or wddx file on their own site. Along with a wddx file acting as a simple directory of these single faqs. You write code on your site that allows anyone to add the url to their directory wddx to your database. Your code then routinely grabs their directory and promptly updates your faq. Within further interaction from you... beyond initial approving any directory urls. In other words a distributed faq.

I was working on a solution to that issue for some folks last night/today (among other things, meant to get to it last weekend). Basically I've built an NT service that acts like a http server as far as http posts go. You can specify a byte cutoff limit for file uploads. When that's exceeded it simply breaks tcp connection after sending some http headers explaining what just happened. A bit rude but... :) It operates on a seperate port. When done it does a 304 location to the standard port of the url you just used. Ie, you post to http://www.allaire.com:90/test/mypost.cfm and you end up at http://www.allaire.com/test/mypost.cfm. There's a seperate cfx tag to retrieve the posted data as raw, fields and/or files. (It files the posts by cftoken/cfid, etc to keep it all seperate.) That's about the only bloody way to overcome this issue that I know of. (If I have the time I may eventually add a version of this to ihtk. As well as some other fun stuff that's collecting dust.) --min ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

SpawnL is a cfx I wrote ages ago. It simply allows you to spawn off a process (an exe or a bat) and run it like you would at the command prompt. Sort of like CFEXECUTE. Also, ages ago, I wrote a script called cf_autoaddcfx which show how to add or delete cfx tags on any machine that have CFREGISTRY turned on. They're both at http://www.intrafoundation.com/freeware.html. I assume anyone that downloaded cfx_spawnl also knows all about cf_autoaddcfx. These are all things that are... well... forces for good in the right hands, but in others they're stepping stones useful to hack a machine if you know what you're doing. My guess is is someone uploaded these files to a web-reachable part of the site, and used them to ultimately make your machines zombie slaves. --min ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

UIDL is actually a very old optional command that has been around since (I believe) before the internet was opened up to commerical business. Many, many years. Without UIDL when you open a pop3 session to read some email it locks the account and simply numbers all the mail 1 through whatever. If you log out of the pop3 account and back in the numbers will always refer to different pieces of mail if you've deleted (DELE) any. UIDL assigns each mail a unique sequence of alphanumerics (such as: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) that never changes. Usually I'd bitch about CFPOP and how it doesn't work :) but in this one case UIDL, optional though it may technically still be, is so widely used I tend to blame your mail server more. Adding UIDL wouldn't be THAT much harder to do afterall, even if it isn't required. --min ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

It's an "optional" pop3 command to get unique id numbers for all the messages currently on the mail server (to make it easier to keep track of what's what). At least, last I heard it was still optional. Your mail server apparently doesn't support it, but the latest version of cfpop is using it. You'll either have to upgrade your pop3/smtp software to something that does, or use a workaround cfpop tag. (As far as intermittant -- depending on how CFPOP is written I'd guess it may not show it's head unless there's more than one message in the user's queue.

But... short term (ie, the next year) I'd say it's pretty much business as usual. No significant changes. Don't panic. A year or so out though things get interesting I'm not saying the New Macromedia is bad thing. I mainly pointed out Flash is semi-doomed medium-term as more advanced browser technology becomes available. If the New Macromedia integrates Flash too tightly with CF (which will be a temptation) we may have a problem down the road. As long as it can be ignored, no real problem. Speaking of problems, the real one with Alliare is they can't seem to concentrate on the product at hand. First Spectra drains off resources. Then their new Java-based CF. How about focusing on the CF we're all using NOW? :) Not to denigrate Allaire's programmers, I'm sure they work hard, but HELL... I don't consider my a great programmer by any means, but most of the "bugs" and other issues that have been plaguing CF for years (especially the tcp/ip related ones) are things I could probably take care of myself over a long sleepless weekend with access to the source code. You have to wonder what their focus is at times. That's what's killing them them. Mismanagement of resources and priorities. (Though it does nicely bring about a decent crop of third-party suppliers of work-arounds. Although it may not be obvious at first, this does help to further the market base of a product as all these middleman will also push CF because it's in thier economic interest to do so.) > Watch competitive tools.

PHP probably will take the place of Perl in most geek hearts though. Worth a weekend to become "familiar" with. You'll probably have to deal with it occasionally. ASP & ASP.NET. Going to be there and relevant as long as MS says it will be. You should be able to read ASP+ even if you never use it.

RE: Macromedia and Allaire to Merge
As much as I dislike Java, in a year or two the new Java-based CF will propel programmers to create an infusion of new Java-based applet's. And all that entails. Then of course there is the multi-platform SVG spec that is beginning to be integrated into modern browsers. The new SVG/XML/DOM/CSS browsers coming online can do very powerful things. These are all powerful, free multi-platform technologies. I can't see how flash will really be able to compete with them in the long run So I have major issues with Cold Fusion being saddled with these old, fat, dying technologies. --min ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Web Based SQL Manager
So as to clarify this little ot a bit more... The internet runs several network protocols including: tcp, udp, icmp, etc (which sit on the very low-level ip protocol). The higher-level application protocols such as http, ftp, pop3, smtp, gopher, etc sit on top of them. There are a few though, like SSL, which actually lives inbetween the two (on top of tcp, below http). tcp is probably the most used of all network protocols because it allows you to open up a data stream that has build in error correction. The others, including udp, generally are only used behind the scenes at the low network and router levels. --min > Well, TCP/IP is the protocol for how one computer can find > another computer > by 'hopping' off of all the computers in between. > >Web protocols (http, for example) are built on top of TCP/IP, > so the web is > based off of the Internet, yes. > >But, the web and the internet are not the same thing.

Well, the tcpclient2 com object should be able to be used to write a cf_pop custom tag that overcomes all these problems. If you were trying to do a cf_smtp there would be performance issues since it wouldn't do an automatic cache/retry, but as far as POP3, there's not much different. If you ever get a fully functionally, bug-free cf_pop3 tag working I could probably even be convinced to rework it into a COM or a CFX for speed -- but I think it best to keep it a custom tag.

There are technically five ip classes, though only three are of any relevance: A, B and C. By using only the first two octets (that's what each of those four number groups are actually called), you're cutting off the id of the small class c's. That could get very confusing as class's are very popular even among largish isp's.

RE: Can only send 2046 characters through CFMAIL?
It *sounds* to me like like somewhere along the line there's a "char line[2048]" or "char line[2048+1]". That is, someone is assuming lines won't be more than about 2048 characters long (remember the crlf and the null). Which isn't a bad assumpttoin, considering I believe the official RFC's dicate that lines above 1024 characters are not allowed and SHOULD be truncated. Or something to that effect. Try breaking up the text into more lines. I'm fairly certain your problem is your smtp server is simply following the RFC guidelines. :) --min ~ Paid Sponsorship ~ Get Your Own Dedicated Win2K Server!

To my knowledge there is no built-in capability to do so in CF. Which is why I wrote both versions of the tcpclient (the CFX and the COM). --min ~ Paid Sponsorship ~ Get Your Own Dedicated Win2K Server!

But if he doesn't care about the content -- it don't matter. :) Oh, btw, if all he wants is the headers, do a HEAD instead. It's the same as a GET but doesn't return any content body. Usually mostly for spidering. ie, "HEAD / HTTP/1.0". That'd be (much) faster. --min ~ Paid Sponsorship ~ Get Your Own Dedicated Win2K Server!

Well, I do have a UDP version, but it's never been released. Internal suff. No docs, etc. Only for the brave. :) I suppose I could clean it up and put her up as well. --min ~ Paid Sponsorship ~ Get Your Own Dedicated Win2K Server!

RE: [RE: SNMP Tag?]

Of course, a fairly good > working knowledge of SNMP would still be required. That is pretty much the entire point of the tag. :) That is, to allow someone to write custom tags that interface with tcp/ip services. ie, Allaire's CFPOP3 or CFSMTP being a pain in the ass as usual? Roll your own. The only thing tcpclient2 can't handle at the moment is SSL. One of these days when I have the time I'll add in that in though as well... munitions export laws not-withstanding. I can pretty much side-step the entire wierd CFHTTP issue with it, aside from https. If you do write a CFCISCO or CFSNMP tag though, feel free to share. :) --min ~ Paid Sponsorship ~ Get Your Own Dedicated Win2K Server!
