Bob -
I don't know exactly what errors you are getting with cfa_browserupdate; but
we had a problem with cfa_browswer (which calls cfa_browswerupdate)
regarding the parsing of major and minor versions of the visiting browswer.
If you look at the cfa_browswer tag around lines 250 to 300 there are two
places I believe where the fullversion of the browser is parsed from the
agent string that comes in with the web page request. The tag assumes that
the version is a.b and then proceeds to extract the major and minor version
using listgetat with '.' as a separator. I.e.,
<cfset fullversion = listgetat(firstelement, 2, sep)>
<cfset majorversion = listgetat(fullversion, 1, ".")>
<cfset minorversion = listgetat(fullversion, 2, ".")>
The problem arises when you get a browser whose version number does not have
a period (minor version). This causes the listgetat for the 2nd element in
the list to fail. We replaced the last line above to condition on list
length as below and this seemed to solve our problems.
<cfif listLen(fullversion, ".") gt 1>
<cfset minorversion = listgetat(fullversion, 2, ".")>
<cfelse> <!--- set to 0 or whatever would be appropriate for a missing
minorversion --->
<cfset minorversion = 0>
</cfif>
This was submitted to spectra community source site as a fix on 4/3/2002; so
far it is still under review.

Hello all:
It looks like Cold Fusion keeps getting tripped up on our server because of
the CFA_BROWSERUPDATE.cfm tag. We are on 1.5. Has anyone seen this before?
Does 1.5.1 fix it? I am not sure what is happening. Possibly it is not
liking some of the newer browsers out there?
Thanks,
Bob

A quick question then for you experts...
Has CFA_BROWSERUPDATE.cfm and CFA_BROWSER.cfm changed from 1.5 to 1.5.1?
Thanks.
Bob
