I'm working on a site where a number of protected pages will be served up using CFCONTENT from outside the web root. Obviously these pages are not going to show up in normal web site statistics programs.
I'm thinking of writing my own logs for these files. I figure I can either write to the database every time a page is requested, or I could append a text file every time. Which would be better from a performance point of view? I think that the database would be faster than CFFILE, but does CFFILE wait until the file operation is finished? If not perhaps that would be quicker. Or is there any other way to do it? I've thought about storing the data in an application variable, then dumping it to the database (or a text file) at a specified interval. Any thoughts?
