Jeff, the problem is that Macromedia does NOT have a clear declaration that debugging should be turned off on a production server. The 6.1 docs say this:
"You should disable debugging output on production servers. Doing so increases security by ensuring that users cannot see debugging information. It also improves server response times. You can also limit debugging output to specific IP addresses; for more information, see Debugging IP addresses page." Note the last sentence, which could easily lead someone to believe that limiting the output to 127.0.0.1 would have the same effect, which it does NOT. The closest thing to a recommendation I can find is here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/tn17259.htm And it clearly says: "Macromedia recommends that for all ColdFusion production servers, at least one specific IP address be specified in the Debugging section of the ColdFusion Administrator." In my opinion, MM should first acknowledge this as a bug, and second release a crystal-clear recommendation to TURN OFF debugging and not just limit the output to one or more IP addresses. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeffry Houser > Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 2:49 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [CFCDev] CFCs and Debugging > > > > I will point out that the original poster said "complex > CFCs (such as > Mach-II apps) execute upwards of TEN TIMES faster with > debugging turned off" > The last three words are key "debugging turned off." > I'm sure all of us know that debugging should be turned off on a > production server.
