That seems a bit strange. I've seen no major announcement from Allaire,
and this seems like a MAJOR issue.
You could use a file upload COM object (the way you'd do it in ASP; go
to any ASP site to find some). Built-in functionality is ColdFusion's
strongest selling point; I really don't want to find out that I have to
resort to COM objects (otherwise, I'd use ASP).
However, I personally find this unacceptable. File uploading is a major
piece of ColdFusion functionality; fixing such a bug should be Priority
1 for Allaire. We paid money for the product expecting it to work.
This is a bit analogous to buying a new car, and finding out that the
windows don't roll up. Response from the dealership would be, "Um,
we're working on that. Just duct tape a trash bag to cover up your
window."
I suspect that you may have been given incorrect information; if not, I
would consider it extremely irresponsible of Allaire to not release this
information sooner.
I know there's some Allaire folks who monitor the list; could someone
from Allaire please address this issue? Otherwise I suspect Allaire
will have a few thousand (how many people subscribe to this list?)
developers confused and/or misinformed and/or angry.
