Just wanted to drop a quick note on how things ended up with the timeout issues at HostMySite. I was finally able to get them to add an exception rule for me, after sending them the information that it *was* possible and I would be able to restrict it to just my download function. However, I still had some customers running into timeout problems. I won't go into all the details, and we're still not even sure on whose end the problem is occuring, and what exactly SeeFusion was doing. But I decided I might as well at this point just recode the darn download method so I don't have to deal with the issue any more and so that I can include that code for all my customers in a future release and not have them run into similar problems on HMS or any other hosts that sets up similar timeouts. I used the suggestion of moving the download file to a new temp directory and I appended the date to the directory name so I can easily go through the list and delete any directories more than a day old. Seems to work pretty well and while it's theoretically not as secure, it certainly is less of a drain on the ColdFusion server.
Thanks to everyone for their help and suggestions, and to HostMySite for doing their best to work through this. I'm still concerned about other things hitting that SeeFusion timeout, but at least I know with enough insistence on my part that I can get them to set up an exception when needed. --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
