Hey all, got a bit of a weird one here.
Running the following, CF8 on Win2K Server with IIS.
Creating a new dir with a period/full stop and an index.cfm file causes a
403 when accessing the file.
Running the following will highlight this:
!--- works ---
!--- cfset folderName = testcom ---
It seems .com won't work but .co.uk will... So, the next question is, how can I
get IIS to not freak at .com?
And apparently the anwser is I can't on IIS5!
This leads to an MS KB article. If anyone knows any different please let me
know.
This is a known issue with IIS on Win (as opposed to IIS anywhere else. :-)
Basically, .com is an executable extension in Win/DOS. The system
therefore looks for the .com file, instead of a directory.
I'd suggest using _com instead. Not a perfect solution, but
