[cfaussie] Determine Server

Hi, I'm setting up cloud servers via a load balancer I want to test the rotation of servers through the round robin allocation of requests over the multiple app servers. Im just trying something simple by dumping HTTP_HOST But that dumps the host of the balancer and not the

[cfaussie] Session Sharing on Cloud Cluster

So RackSpace and Amazon dont support sticky sessions on https, im guessing because the data is encrypted and they cant see it. I was toying with the idea of doing something like this, which would effectivally do the same thing Lets say I have 4 endpoints ap00 (balancer) ap01

[cfaussie] Image functions with transparent png images

I am having this issue which i am sure people have had in the past so i am hoping for some advice as to how to get around it. I am uploading a transparent png image file with the following process :- 1. Upload file 2. Read file 3. Store file in memory as binary 4.

Re: [cfaussie] Session Sharing on Cloud Cluster

Dale The other way to tackle this would be to run your own dedicated load-balancer on your ap00 instance. Your SSL certs would live on ap00 which could then handle the SSL connections and manage the sticky sessions to your actual application servers. This would remove the need for CF to

Re: [cfaussie] Session Sharing on Cloud Cluster

I'd be surprised if you can't install a SSL cirt on the load balancer. This article seams to indicate it is possible at Amazon: http://awsdocs.s3.amazonaws.com/ElasticLoadBalancing/latest/elb-dg.pdf Paul. On Mon, Dec 19, 2011 at 11:13 PM, Dale Fraser d...@fraser.id.au wrote: So RackSpace and

Re: [cfaussie] Determine Server

Hi Dale, If you run into trouble with stuff like that, I know we have implemented something similar here for some of our bigger clients, like dpt of defence or ato. In our case the session itself was spread across multiple app servers and a single DB server (I wasn't involved with that project,

[cfaussie] Re: Session Sharing on Cloud Cluster

You're really thinking of trusting a 3rd party with the SSL certificates of your sites? I'd second Phil's recommendation of rolling your own balancer setup. Terminate the SSL on STunnel (http://http://www.stunnel.org/) then forward that through HAProxy (http://haproxy.1wt.eu/) Both are very

RE: [cfaussie] Session Sharing on Cloud Cluster

Yes, I found that afterwards with Amazon, most don't support it. I'd be happy with IP based server allocation. Regards Dale Fraser http://dale.fraser.id.au http://cfmldocs.com http://learncf.com http://flexcf.com From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com

Re: [cfaussie] Session Sharing on Cloud Cluster

What about turning on JSessionIDs, and use a distributed cache to store session information in. CF sets up the unique IDs for you, and you just use that value to store data in your distributed cache. Then it doesn't matter what server you are on. Amazon has ElastiCache - should be easy enough

Yeah i have and once i write it, the transparency is fine, even the tmp file cf creates when it uses the cfimageservlet works fine. I don’t want to write it though. There are other processes that i need to run before i fully commit it to the file system which is why i am wanting to do this

Re: [cfaussie] Image functions with transparent png images

Steve, My guess would be that the cfcontent is using the internal image handling, which does seem kinda strange, but as we all know the internal image handling in CF will not handle aRGB images. It looks like your best option would be the write to browser. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite:
