I tried Matt's method of using CFContent to serve the files to the user, and worked just like a charm - on my dev machine. I was able to not only do what I needed, and keep good stats and log of activity, but do some other cool stuff too like have the pages fed from a database instead of a static page, thereby allowing much easier updating of content etc. Good ..
EXCEPT ..... It didnt work on my production machine. A shared host. At first I figured we had CFContent disabled, but I"m assured that CFContent is NOT disabled for the site in question. Now i have to go back to the code, to look for what I might have got wrong somewhere along the line. Are there any 'gotchas' with CFCONTENT in a shared hosting environment i ought to look for? Failing that, I think since the app worked beautifully first time on my dev machine, the only possibility is that I forgot to upload one of the files or something REALLY dumb like that. Any other ideas?
