RE: (ot) JavaScript detecting foreign scripts
Please don't do it off-list, several of us could be interested. In case anyone is interested, as Claude recommended, It was relatively easy to check for the foreign script injection by myturfads.com. There is a test page with the code located at http://www.uxb.net/adtest/ that will look to see if your client is seeing the Google ad being replaced by the myturfads.com In case you are wondering what I am talking about. Some ISP's are using a proxy technology that in real time intercepts the Google Ad JavaScript code and replaces it with their own advertising from a company (MyTurf - www.myturfads.com) that specializes in injecting local advertising into existing ad spaces for Local ISP's.They replace the google or double click JS code with their own and can add/inject pop-up and video ads into sites that only use text or image advertising from Google. Very Annoying! Based on the testing I have done with one of my more trafficked sites that have ads on them (hce.halomaps.org) there are at least two ISP's that are using the ad-replacement proxy technology in three different regions: Brewster NY, Denver CO. and Boise ID. NY and CO were Comcast and ID was CenturyLink. I am seeing multiple IPS from each area, mostly in the same B and C blocks. The way the test page works is that after loading it looks for any script called from myturfads.com on the page and then lists the scripts and warns if one was found. If one was found it performs an AJAX call and sends me an email with the client IP. I have contacted and opened a case with Google about this and they were very interested, but of course I only get to deal with the front line support person so I have no idea what they intend. I also contacted a copyright law firm and they were interested but because it is Google's Code and not mine that is being replaced an infringement case would be tough. Not only that but apparently there is no case law that says the ISP cannot replace or inject scripts. To proceed further it would require I cover legal research costs to see if there was a case to be had.It gets all muddy, especially now with the FCC's new Net Neutrality regulations still not fully defined and already under legal attack. I find this behavior on the part of the ISP's abhorrent and dangerous. Right now they are replacing advertising and stealing revenue from the advertiser and Web Publisher. But they could just as easily replace articles or any real content on the fly as well. And the worst of it is that there is apparently no legal precedent to the contrary. Thanks for listening.

RE: (ot) JavaScript detecting foreign scripts
Just throwing ideas out there. :) All my pontificating aside for this particular purpose I am just trying to detect if the string adx.myturfads.com exists anywhere on the DOM. For my sister, I've already stopped it from loading by editing the hosts file on the PC to disallow that domain. Including the reasons you stated trying to stop it with a purely technical solution is just an arms race. This requires legal action. I am trying to find a way to collect data to support that. They may have stepped over a line here because they are not just adding but removing and replacing content. Dennis Powers UXB Internet - A website Design and Hosting Company P.O.

I agree with you that Comcast should die in a fire, So I'm not crazy then. I have to wonder some times. I like Jochem's solution, of which I was unaware, but still recommend you use HTTPS. Actually I can also prevent it by switching to a different/newer ad type with a different script but that wasn't the goal for this request. The goal was to collect data on where (the IP) the script was being injected. Stopping it with a technical solution is an arms race.

RE: (ot) JavaScript detecting foreign scripts
I developped a client side javascript error trackink tool and it helped me a lot to debug my scripts, but I get many errors happening in foreign JS scripts. I fixed my program to detect 5 or 6 of them and now the system is almost perfect. Should have known it was you smile. What is happening is that Comcast has engaged the company MyTurfads.com that on the fly replaces Google and other ads with their own. They intercept the call to the script and return JS of their own that inserts a script from their domain (adx.myturfads.com) into the DOM. That script then calls others to handle the ads. I have proven this using a test page http://www.uxb.net/adtest/ that only has a single Google ad and no other scripts. The content of the single script on that page gets replaced at my sisters in NY (Comcast) but not in CT (Comcast) . I want to find out how wide spread this is because 3 data points do not make an argument. I only found out about it because my sister complained about getting pop-up and self-running modal video ads on one of my websites and that should not occur. What I want to do is write a script that can detect if the domain myturfads.com is located anywhere in the DOM. I intend to place it on the simple test page so that once detected I can initiate an Ajax call and record the user IP on my server. I can hack at JS code with enough examples but sadly need a little help on this one. Dennis Powers UXB Internet - A website Design and Hosting Company P.O.

(ot) JavaScript detecting foreign scripts
I apologize for this off topic post. A while back someone posted a thread where they were working on a script that would enumerate the DOM and detect foreign JS scripts running or loaded. I am looking to consult with that person off-list because I have a case where I need to do the same. It appears as if in some locations Comcast's proxies are intercepting advertising scripts (google/doubleclick) and replacing them with their own JS that substitutes their own contracted ads. I am looking for a way to detect this on a test page to determine how wide spread the practice is. I would be greatly appreciative if that person would contact me directly either by email or phone.

RE: CFML restart ACF 10 app server service
explains the problems with CF on shared hosting: http://www.michaels.me.uk/post.cfm/why-coldfusion-railo-are-not- suited-to-shared-hosting Interesting article and a nice refresher for anyone running a shared hosting environment. It goes to show how the technology has changed over the years. In 1998 when I started in this business the best solution for a shared environment was CF because ASP and PHP were not very stable and the web servers of the time forced them to run in context with the single web server process. Therefore a failed ASP or PHP page could easily lock the entire web server whereas with CF running out of context as a service if bad code caused CF to lock HTML pages would still be served.

RE: Forms not passing data?
The issue mainly is that it's not always happening all the time. So it's not repeatable as far as I can tell. If you have verified the code then check to see if the user in question is running an internet security program of some kind. Many of the firewalls they install prevent form submissions of enctype=multipart/form-data to prevent uploading data. We have run into this many times where the submitted data in forms of this type is Null until they disable their internet security software.

I doubt anyone's going to care to mess with it This assumption all depends on the average age of the visitors to the website and the possible gain there is in messing with it. In my experience the lower the age of the visitors the less actual gain is needed to inspire them to mess with it. We run several video game based websites where the average age of visitors is 14-18 years of age and they will mess with anything and everything for no apparent reason. I have even placed dummy ajax pages online that actually do nothing to the site data and they will spend hours, days and sometimes weeks submitting data to them just to see what they will do.

RE: Move CF website to non CF host
I would like to move that site to be hosted without CF (or MS SQL). The short answer is no you need a CF server to process CF pages (*.cfm). However, you can capture your website in pure HTML regardless of what CF is doing under the hood. You just need to be aware of some gotcha's when deciding to move it to pure HTML. 1) Is there anything dynamic on the pages such as automatically generated dates maybe in the footer or copyright statement? These dates will now become static when you move to HTML 2) Are there any commutations performed based on user input? Example doing any math (excluding JavaScript) like a mortgage calculation or making selections or logic based on user input. There may be only 1 physical page but it could be presenting multiple pages of different information. 3) Do you have an email form in the website? If so the underlying code to actually send the email will no longer work and need to be replaced with another technology. If the answer is no to all of the above then there should be no problem. Yes to any of them means you may need to look more closely, for example if the dynamic date is the year in a copyright notice then you will now just have to change it manually. I believe you said the site is just 7 pages so a simple copy from the browser source to notepad will work OK as long as you also copy the images, CSS files, JavaScript, and Flash files or any external file like video or sound files. If you have mouse over image effects also remember to copy the active and passive versions. However if the site were larger then you can use a tool like HTTrack website copier http://www.httrack.com/ it is free released under the GPL license and works perfectly to copy websites to your local disk. It can even be programmed to change the extension to HTML. Good luck Dennis Powers UXB Internet - A Website Design Hosting Company P.O.

RE: CFML broadcasting app
This is much bigger than a CFML issue... I could, and for the unfortunate bystanders, have talked for hours about the problem of email. We are a website design and Hosting company and yet my biggest expenditure in time and resources goes to email and email issues. - oops I started pontificating again. The real trick is to have granular control of your sending email server. We have a SMTP server specifically for the sending process. Our main POP/SMTP email server like most today can easily handle more than 512 simultaneous SMTP threads however the sending server, the one used to send out notifications and newsletters, is set to 32 outbound threads and 512 inbound threads. This allows CF and our listserver to send email to the sending relay as fast as it can but throttles the actual outbound delivery to a manageable level so as not to overwhelm other services like AOL, which grey-list automatically, yahoo or Gmail. It takes longer to deliver but it does get delivered and we stay off block lists. You just have to remember to be polite, which sometimes the fast technology forgets to do.

RE: UBBCode img tag exploit
DP_ParseBBML) has this flaw, I just tested it. I looked at all the open source CF based forums I could find and they all had the same flaw. Many used the DP_ParseBBML module or some variation on it. Basically, I think if you prevent conversion of images with quotes, this goes away. That was my thinking as well. Or more precisely what I knew would stop the existing attack. What I did was modify the [IMG] conversion routine to disallow both standard and single quotes either base or encoded. I also disallowed semi-colon ; because that can be used to chain script commands. But I am sure this is not a proper sanitization of the input. src = replaceNoCase(src, #chr(34)#, , ALL); src = replaceNoCase(src, #chr(39)#, , ALL); src = replaceNoCase(src, %22, , ALL); src = replaceNoCase(src, ;, , ALL); src = replaceNoCase(src, %3B, , ALL); I still feel this is a stop-gap or just a response based approach and does not fully sanitize the input. I was hoping someone had existing code that did, because as I said it was a freebie. There is nothing like the panic of 13-16 year olds who get to see gay porn because a redirect was imbedded in the [IMG} tag of their favorite video game web forum. If anyone has better ideas to prevent this type of abuse please share them. Teenagers intent on doing mischief can be very clever and I am starting to slow down a bit.

RE: Output newest one item from each category
I was actually thinking about this and like yourself have not found a way to
do it in one query. I have a crude solution. This assumes you only have
the one table. In either case you need to get a unique list of the
categories then loop over it to create a dynamic query.
cfquery name=category
Select Distinct catg as 'thecategory'
From newsletters
Order by catg
/cfquery
cfquery
cfloop query=category
Select top 1 nldate, catg, nltitle
From newsletter
Where catg = '#thecategory#'
Order by nldate desc
UNION
/cfloop
Select top 1 nldate, catg nltitle
From newsletter
Where 0=1
Order by {column number}
/cfquery
It may be crude but this approach at least puts all your date into one query
object.

UBBCode img tag exploit
I am wondering if anyone has a UBBCode to Html conversion for the [IMG} tag that will sanitize the input to prevent XSS vulnerabilities such as adding script to the img tag. I am trying to prevent XSS like below and worse. I have a CF based forum I inherited and the UBB HTML conversion for the [img] tag is simplistic and needs replacing. I would rather not reinvent the wheel if I don't have to especially since this is a favor for someone. Any help is appreciated.

RE: (ot) Mail servers
Curious about current experiences with e-mail server software before I start looking around for better licensing terms. Thanks! We've been using Visnetic Mail Server (windows) which is essentially a re-packaged Merak or IceWarp Mail server and have had very good luck with it. It has a full feature set, filtering, ant-spam, anti-virus, web/pop/IMAP/Groupware/IM ... etc and it is blazingly fast and stable. However the upgrade path is now to IceWarp directly and they seem to have gotten delusions of grandeur, bordering on the psychotic, in their pricing. I have looked at Mailenable which seems to have all the features but at a fraction of the price. Dennis Powers UXB Internet - A Website Design Hosting Company P.O.

A little massaging of the search string to make it a wildcard matching

Windows SQL 200X Full Text search query quandry
I on a project we are using the SQL 200X internal Full Text catalog to search the database and it is finding the correct data just fine. However, the client would like me to pull a summary of the data that matched the text search out of the database. Just the summary of the section of the data that matched. I am unsure if I can do this. There are two ntext fields that that may contain upwards of 8K in text data that we are searching. My question is how do I construct a search query to get a 256bte section of the ntext field that contains the matching criteria? The existing Query consists of several joined queries with different weights each excluding the data set from the previous query. To keep it simple, Here is a sample of one section of several joined queries. SELECT (KEY_TBL.RANK * 1) AS RANK, ID ,URL, URLName, URLTitle, URLRating, URLImage, CAST(URLDescription As nvarchar(256)) AS URLDEsc, CAST( URLKeywords As nvarchar(256)) AS Keywords FROM URLs AS URLTable INNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE (URLs, URLdescription ,'#Searchstring#', 20 ) AS KEY_TBL ON URLTable.ID = KEY_TBL.[KEY] How would I pull just the 256 byte section of the ntext field URLdescription that matches the searchstring?

Serving Files via cfcontent - how much processing is required
Greetings, I am hoping to pick some of your brains. I find myself in a quandary. If you will indulge me I will explain the situation as briefly as I can. We current have a website, several really, that are fairly heavily trafficked about 12 - 18 million pages per month primarily used to obtain video game maps and assets for the games. The website is not the issue since we store the actual files for download on remote servers and link people to them for download via FTP. For the past 3 years this has been working fairly well. We average over 15,000GB / Month in file traffic and serve an average of 350,000 Files /month using this method. We have recently upgraded our remote servers to Athlon 64 X2 3400+, DualCore 64 Bit, 2x 1.8 GHz, 4 GB DDR2-RAM Win2008 X64 Web IIS7 with substantially more bandwidth availability. Since it is a newer OS I was unable to use the old CF5 installation on the remote server and since only needing minimal functionality installed Tomcat and Open BlueDragon for the CFML engine. This seems to work as before since we only use cf on the remote servers to check if the file exists before sending them to the ftp. In other applications I routinely use cfcontent to serve protected files on extranet applications however the traffic ( 10-20 files/day) is nowhere near as rigorous as will be required here with 12,000 per day of 40Meg average per file. I am considering serving the files now through cfcontent via HTTP instead of FTP for a couple of reasons. 1) because most Internet Security programs block FTP and we have to help people (mostly kids) open the port and 2) to prevent direct linking to the files because this endeavor is funded by ads on the website (and my wallet). I know the most efficient way to serve this quantity and size of files is via ftp but what I don't know is what is required by the various CF engines AdobeCF, OpenBD, Bluedragon, Ralio to serve up the same via HTTP. Will our new server hardware handle that kind of HTTP file traffic (I suspect so), will OpenBD/Tomcat be up to the task or will I need a different CFML engine? Essentially what I need to know is what it would take to routinely serve that many/size files through the CF engine. I don't want to go down this road and find that people are having problems downloading because the CF engine / Web server can't keep up. Has anyone had experience with this and can you offer some advice? Dennis Powers UXB Internet - A Website Design Hosting Company P.O.

RE: Serving Files via cfcontent - how much processing is required
My advice for you would be to avoid using CFCONTENT for this, as it's really not designed for this. That was my feeling as well. I have always tried to stay away from much file manipulation with the CF engine since, as you say, it wasn't designed for it. The alternative I'd recommend would be the use of temporary symlinks. This was another thought as well but the issue there is moving those files back and forth programmatically with CF. I thought that it would use as much processor/threads as actually serving it up. I see PHP sites do it but I am not sure if they have other ways to handle the actual transfer of the file via the web server with a re-direct utility or something. After I sent the email I remembered that the CoolFusion guys had an authenticator ISAPI filter for IIS which essentially runs a CF script before allowing access to the file through the web server. I just don't know if it will work on 64bit IIS7 and am waiting for their reply via email. I am looking for any and all ideas and opinions on this subject since I have yet to find a full solution.

RE: imageRead plus imagepaste plus imageGetBlob issue
You are right though, I am most likely headed to a solution that involves watermarking the images permanently. If the images are never going to be used on the site without a watermark then you will save substantial processing time by doing so. We have a website that allows people to upload a picture which we mark, then they can caption them aka lolcats.com style. So a particular image could have many different captions marked on it. When I first designed it all watermarks were on the fly but after a few days of testing I found I was bogging the server down with extensive processing even though as you say there was a satisfaction of the magic behind it. Now instead we mark the images once and save copies and reference them. It takes up more space but hard drive space was a lot cheaper than more processing power.

RE: CF Domain Redirects
I'd like to have domain.com automatically redirect to www.domain.com. Assuming you own both domains then this should be done in the DNS not the web server or CF. The A record of both domains should point to the same IP number which is one website. Should I be doing this type of redirect in IIS 6 instead of CF? If you don't care what is displayed in the browser address field, domain1.com or domain2.com, then you can set the website to have multiple identities in the IP address field advanced Tab so the website responds to either domain. If you actually want someone who types domain1.com into their browser address field to then have their browser change to domain2.com then you will need to do a redirect and the best way is to set it up in IIS not in CF because then the web server will perform the redirect before a page is processed. Are the any search engine related penalties to doing any of these redirects? YES. Search engines do not like redirects and as someone else said they are bait and switch behavior. Each search engine will handle 301 or 302 redirects differently with different penalties based on that particular search engine. Dennis Powers UXB Internet - A Website Design Hosting Company P.O.

RE: CF Domain Redirects
Dennis, I decided to use an IIS redirect. I'm curious to know what penalty a redirect would be in say Google's eyes. As I indicated each spider handles 30X redirects differently. Justin pointed you to Google's rules which bears repeating: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/02/specify-your-canonical.ht ml The rule of thumb I use is if the spider has to do anything extra to get the data then try not to do it. Or the corollary is the spider should only ever get a 200 OK response when visiting. We have a number of clients that have multiple domain names pointing to the same website and the only times we issue a redirect is if the client insists that the browser address bar show the new domain name or if there is a technical issue such as an SSL certificate or domain cookies used in a shopping cart.

I pressed send to quickly: Also this is good reference for Google: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/search?q=301+redirects Quote: Enable crawling and use 301 (permanent) redirects where possible Where possible, the most important step is often to use appropriate 301 redirects. These redirects send visitors and search engine crawlers to your preferred domain and make it very clear which URL should be indexed. This is generally the preferred method as it gives clear guidance to everyone who accesses the content. Keep in mind that in order for search engine crawlers to discover these redirects, none of the URLs in the redirect chain can be disallowed via a robots.txt file.

Query Results sent from search engines CGI variable?
I have a client who wants to make their site more user friendly when someone is sent to them from a search engine. What they want is when someone comes from a search engine link that we obtain the original search query (if sent) and in addition to showing the requested page present a list of other items from their site matching an internal search result using that criteria. I know that many search engines send the original search query over to the website I am assuming in the header because I can obtain that information from the web-server log reports.

OT - Anyone know of a WEB spider that stores data in MSSQL Database
Good day, We have a client that has a requirement for indexing about 2-3 million pages of web pages (industry specific sites) to make them searchable within their existing website. The requirement is for this data to co-exist with existing data in their existing MSSQL server to make it searchable using MSSQL's free-text search functionality alongside existing searches. I am hoping that someone might have run across a windows based web spider that has this functionality. They are willing to purchase something if reasonable. I have looked at a couple of web spiders like Innerprise and some shareware items but all seem to either no longer be supported or don't interfacing with MSSQL. The open source spiders/search packages I have looked at all have their own indexing/searching engine or use MySQL as a data source. So can anyone direct me to a web spider that stores data into a MSSQL database. To make this (almost) on topic we are using CF for the existing site and new features :) Thanks.

The abuse is so great that legitimate email is often incorrectly identified as spam/junk. Since there are so many types of spam filters you may never get the correct setting to get it through for every user. All You can do is ask that they add your address to their safe sender list.

RE: File upload suddenly stops working
no longer able to upload files to their website via HTML forms. The code was written 6 (?) years ago on CF5/IIS/Win2000 using CFFILE. We had a case a while ago where a client using a similar cffile upload script/HTML form suddenly couldn't upload files through their admin page. The problem was that their anti-virus/internet security program on the client PC was blocking the upload and would not send the data in the form. I couldn't replicate it until I went to their location and saw the issue in person. Temporarily disabling the firewall allowed the upload. They eventually called Symantec tech support and was given instructions on how to allow the post to go through. I see this type of thing a lot on another website that uses FTP for download. The Internet Security programs close off port 21 by default and most all but the basic HTTP, SMTP POP3 ports. Now they are blocking all traffic not going through their own proxies and need exceptions for just about any outbound traffic. -Dennis ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:322295 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
serving images with cfcontent to firefox browser with deletefile=yes
I am hoping someone can shine some light on a problem I am having with
serving an image through cfcontent on a web page. I am using a CF5 server
(all hotfixes applied) and doing some image manipulation (adding text) to an
image. The back end image manipulation works fine (using Juka Manor's
CFX_image) and I am serving the image through CFcontent within the img
tag on the page.
IMG SRC=image.cfm?img=#PreviewImage# border=2
The image.cfm file at its basic is:
cfsetting enablecfoutputonly=Yes showdebugoutput=Yes
CFHEADER NAME=Pragma VALUE=no-cache
CFCONTENT TYPE=image/jpeg DELETEFILE=Yes
FILE=#Expandpath('#ImageTemppath##img#')#
cfsetting enablecfoutputonly=No showdebugoutput=Yes
This all works perfectly with and IE browser. However when I use a Firefox
browser it works once then when submitted again (user makes changes) the
resultant page is pure text display of the HTML code. It also does not
delete the temp image on the server. If I refresh the page it works again
(creating a new temp image - then deleting it) but a new submission and it
shows the HTML code in text again. This is 100% repeatable. However if I
set the DELETEFILE attribute of the cfcontent tag to NO it works in
firefox as it does in IE every time.
What am I doing wrong? How can I serve the temp image to firefox and delete
it? Is it me or am I going crazy?

reset=true is always a good parameter to have when doing this kind of work. I agree but Reset=yes is the default and I have tried yes and no and even removed everything from the image.cfm file but the cfcontent tag and still there is something that Firefox refuses to render if the deletefile=yes. If it is set to no I can run and have run 20-30 repeated submissions without an error. But set to yes and it works once then each submission after that the browser renders the page as plain text.

The advantages are that iMS will do a single connection to a mail server and send all messages for that mail server on a single connection. This is important when combined with its ability to set tokens in an email which will be replaced with unique values (such as a recipient's id). If I was to do the same with CF, it would generate 3,000 unique emails per cf-talk post. This does not have the single connection efficiency that iMS does. So here's the question.

SQL Question multiple OR's or IN () with Access
Hi, I could use some sage advice. We have a project that needs to be in access (do not ask or tell as to why) and have a condition where we need to construct a dynamic query. What I am looking for is not necessarily the best SQL construct but the one that is less intensive and therefore troublesome to the Access ODBC connector. Remember I am looking for the less troublesome query for the access ODBC connector (and yes it MUST be access sigh). The variable Nodelist will always return a list of 1 or more comma delimited numbers Here is some stripped down code: cf_childnodes parentitemid=#Level# Datasource=#App_db# !--- returns comma delimited numeric list in variable 'nodelist' --- Use this query? cfquery Name=qry1 SELECT Item_ID,, Product_Name FROM ProductSeries WHERE ( cfloop index=lvl list=#nodeList# delimiters=, (ItemID=#lvl#) OR /cfloop (1=0)) ORDER BY Product_Name /cfquery Or this query? cfquery Name=qry2 SELECT Item_ID,, Product_Name FROM ProductSeries WHERE (ItemID IN (#nodelist#)) ORDER BY Product_Name /cfquery Any and all recommendations are greatly appreciated (other than go with SQL). I am trying to make this project scale to the limits of what Access can handle (with all reads never a write) by constructing the queries that will give the best performance and less trouble with CF and access's odbc connector.

RE: SSL on form submission
Chad, In a previous thread in a different mailing list Lynn Taylor concisely described the SLL process as it relates to IP and IP-less domains. It so accurately described the process I saved it for posterity. [From a discussion with Lynn W. Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED]]= Certificates are bound to domain names, no question. SSL connections are negotiated by IP address, before the domain name is passed. So, the TCP SYN packet comes in, the SYN+ACK goes back, the ACK comes in, and then SSL encryption starts. After the encryption is started, it checks the domain name on the certificate. So it stands to reason that you can put a certificate on any IP, and you can change the IP -- you just can't have more than one certificate on a single IP address+Port number. Note that this is true on any OS and any web server. ==[ end discussion ]== So in your example (http://www/form.cfm) the data passed from the server to the browser is NOT encrypted since you did not negotiate for a secure connection and the browser will not indicate that it is secure. If there is nothing in the data used to display the form that needs to be secure then it is technically OK, however, the user cannot tell if the data he is entering will be sent back via a secure connection unless he looks at the form code.

RE: ColdFusion Server 5.0 trial download?
Todd, We are a small firm and place a high value on functional stability. We are purposely not on the bleeding edge of the technological curve. For our market this wait and see attitude has served us very well. We waited for 4.5 to see heavy use and it never seemed to be as stable as 4.0. So we were waiting for masses to test 5.0 for us and now CF5.0 seems to be a stable product. Due to unexpected external circumstances we did not purchase the CF5.0 upgrade before the MX release. The introduction of MX looks interesting but hasn't seen mass use yet so we'll wait a while. Besides, MX does not support our web server Deerfield Website (formerly O'Reilly website pro). We can't use it right now without switching web servers, and I cannot afford the time such a task would entail, to say nothing of the cost. And No we will never use IIS, I would go out of business before switching to IIS, as irrational a statement as that may sound. I have queried Macromedia via email on acquiring a CF5.0 upgrade and I awaiting their response. If I don't hear from them by Monday I guess I'll have to start calling Software supply houses to see if someone has a copy or two on the shelf I can purchase.

CF5 MX Locking cflock
Hello, At the risk of being charged with equine abuse, I just want to be sure that I understand the locking issue. Especially since every time I think I understand some one says something to change my worldview. We are still using CF 4.0.1 so I assume that locking to prevent memory corruption is required. In the attached message, Mr. Camden implies that at some version level, and I assume it is CF5 and CFMX, locking session, application and server variables to prevent memory corruption is _not_ required. However running code within an application in two browser windows, simultaneously, using the same session (same CFID/CFTOKEN) can cause unpredictable results when manipulating memory variables in the session and application scope. To further illustrate what I think he was inferring, assume that I had a page that took an input, did a query, and then added the query count to a session variable. I open two browser windows and supply different inputs to the same template in each window. Window 1: Session.x = 1 Input = a Query time = 5ms returns a value=5 Session.x=session.x + querycount Run separately he session.x value should be 6 Window 2: Session.x = 1 Input = e Query time = 15ms returns avalue=5000 Session.x=session.x + querycount Run separately the session.x value should be 5001 However if I run the template in the two browser windows simultaneously, where cfid/cftoken is the same, I _could_ get a result of session.x = 5006 in window 2 since window 1 finished first. Is this correct? It appears as if I have never _really_ understood the reasons behind the locking issue and only just the safety guidelines, so any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Coldfusion MX And Website
Sheese, I am still at 4.0.1 and was just about to upgrade to 5 (it wasn't broken!). Now I don't even have a viable upgrade path since MX does not support Deerfield Website (Formally O'Reilly Website Pro). Bob Denny, creator of Website, is looking for some to assistance in determining how to get MX to work with Website. If anyone is willing to assist his efforts I am sure it would be appreciated. His email address is in the message header. -Original Message- From: Bob Denny [[EMAIL PROTECTED]],[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 9:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: CF MX Hi All -- I'm trying to determine how to hook MX into WebSite, and I've run into a glitch. The product looks extremely complex, and the installer doesn't recognize any webserver on my system (expected). I do not want to install IIS onto this system as it is my clean development system. I can't find/recognize the bits that would be used to hook CFMX into IIS or Apache/NT or iPlanet/NT. Can someone who is using the MX preview with IIS tell me how it is hooked in? I'm hoping that it is a simple ISAPI hookup. I'm afraid it involves ISAPI filters for the transformation of /servlet URLs for JRun. When Paul Colton and I worked together on the original JRun we came up with a much more elegant scheme for this just using WebSite's mapper, and that continues to work with various Java engines. It's just possible that this could be effectively substituted for the ISAPI filter, or we may have to write a WSAPI preprocessor for it. That is technically possible but I would prefer to avoid it. I'd be happy to get filled in by phone, much more efficient than email... I am going to make this an ongoing project so that at least WebSite users can -USE- MX, and hopefully we can jam this down Macromedia's throat as WebSite sales continue to grow. The product is huge, and I am not so sure what the advantage of running it behind another web server is, other than political or to get username/password security in common with other non-CFMX apps hosted on the same server. -- Bob Best regards, Dennis Powers UXB Internet - A Web Design and Hosting Company tel: (203)879-2844 fax: (203)879-6254 http://www.uxbinternet.com/ http://dennis.uxb.net/ __ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists

Subject: Advanced CFCATCH Exception Types
I would like to trap a CFFILE error using CFTRY/CFCATCH if the user submits
a bad file type. I only want to allow them to upload .gif files.
I can use the CFCATCH TYPE=Any to trap it, but I was hoping that I could
trap specifically for a bad file type.
I noticed that there are a whole slew of advanced exception types starting
with COM.* listed in the documentation, but I can't find one for a bad file
type.
Can one of those advanced types or a regular type be used other than Any?
Thanks,
