Re: SSL, IIS CF...
Jim, Right now, I have only 2 IP Addresses available to use. 1 for the machine, and 1 for the site. Right now, I am using the machine's IP and the site's for the regular http site. I haven't dedicated one of those for the SSL key, which I could. Right now, when I click advanced, I only see port 80 attached to the site's IP. What dould you recommend? I do have two IPs available to use. So are you saying that I create a single site in the MMC and then create 2 virtual directories each having a different IP or are you saying to create 2 sites with each pointing to the same home directory but with different ports and different IPs bound to the same? You are really helping me out here...I haven't message with virtual hosting and leave most of the hosting side of things to those who know better...but in this case, I am the only one holding the bag. If you can be specific in what should go in the site parameters, the IP config for both the ports and sites, advanced properties and possible host header places, I think I might just be on my way...for the record, I guess I do have two IPs I can use, I can point the Key to either of them in the Key Manager and have nothing more to losehehe Thanks a ton, Brandon - Original Message - From: Jim McAtee [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 12:24 AM Subject: Re: SSL, IIS CF... That sounds like the way I usually set it up. Under the virtual site's properties you have TCP port 80 and SSL port 443 specified. If you click 'Advanced' you should see both ports bound to their respective IP address or host header. Are you using host headers (IPless domains) on your web server? If you're using host headers, remember that for SSL you need to have an IP address to which you bind the certificate. So, you could use host headers for the non-SSL (port 80) site, but you need an IP for SSL. Since you need a (dedicated) IP address for SSL on this site anyway, I'd just set up the http/port80 side using standard IP-based domain resolution as well and not use host headers at all for this particular virtual site. Have you completed installation of the certificate in Key Manager and pointed it to the correct IP address?

RE: rules for random phrase generators
-Original Message- From: Rich Wild [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Has anyone developed (in CF or otherwise) a random phrase or sentence generator? I did a simple hack, which proved fun (but v.slow) for a while. (look at http://www.sincity.com/penn-n-teller/pcc/shaney.html, and do a search for Mark V. Shaney on google) Set up a table as such, with the following field, word1, word2, word3, word4. Now scan through a large block of text (Poems, Wordsworth, usenet etc), start with the first word, put it, and the following three words into the table. So for something like Once upon a time, in a land far, far away You'd end up with... word1 word2 word3 word4 ~ ~ ~ ~ Onceupona time, upona time, in a time, in a time, in a land in a landfar, a landfar,far landfar,far away The code that generates the text works along the following lines (tweaked if you don't get any matches)... Give it three words (i.e.. Once, upon a) cfset word1 = Once // Set the first three words here cfset word2 = upon // cfset word3 = a // cfoutput#word1# #word2# #word3#/cfoutput !--- Starting a loop here would be a good idea --- cfquery name=getWord SELECT word4 FROM wordCollection1 WHERE word1 = '#word1#' AND word2 = '#word2#' AND word3 = '#word3#' /cfquery !--- pick a random word 4 from the records returned (add checking for no records --- cfset word4 = getWord.word4[randRange(1,getWord.recordCount)] cfoutput#word4#/cfoutput !--- shift the words to get a new set of three --- cfset word1 = word2 cfset word2 = word3 cfset word3 = word4 !--- Go and do it all again, until you die, or some such --- - With a very small amount of sample text, you basically get spat back at you exactly what go put in. If you use too much text, then the results will seem too much like random waffle. With a sample text size of about 2000-3000 you can get a very interesting result, which sounds it should make some kinda of sense. I did this with Jeff Noons books, the results while different, did seem to be in the style of Jeff Noon :) I stopped the project as there was too many hits to the database (as you can see).

RE: Paste Screen Capture into a browser and submit it
The web is a stateless environment. While a person browses the web with a standard web browser, connections to a website are only opened long enough to process a client request to or from a server. It is therefore impossible to use standard HTML to maintain a connection between the client and server. Without some sort of 3rd-party browser enhancement that coincidentally cannot be installed without the users's knowledge and approval, what you are proposing would simply be impossible. A printscreen probably wouldn't do you any good anyway to capture that kind of information because based upon the users's screen resolution, how large a window their browser was in, and what part of the error page they may have not scrolled to may or not include all the information you want to capture. A better way to handle errors is by using error-trapping techniques. Errors write to the server log files, and you could parse through those. Or you could read into how ColdFusion can handle and report errors to you. Some people use custom error message templates. http://127.0.0.1/cfdocs/Developing_Web_Applications_with_ColdFusion/08_Debug ging_and_Error_Handling/dwa08_05.htm ---mark Mark Warrick - Fusioneers.com Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 714-547-5386 http://www.fusioneers.com http://www.warrick.net -Original Message- From: Don VanMeter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 28, 2001 11:00 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Paste Screen Capture into a browser and submit it I am stumped.

Re: Curious about CFIF
On 5/29/01, Tony Hicks penned:
When you have a CFIF with a CFELSE or CFELSE IF... does cold fusion only
read the code inside the matching condition?
For instance
cfif name is 'bob'
Name = Bob
cfelseif name is 'joe'
Name = Joe
/cfif
If the name is 'bob' does CF pay any attention to the content to be
processed if the name is joe? and if the name is joe, does it pay any
attention to bob's content since it comes first...?
I believe CF starts with the beginning of the cfif and stops
processing the statement when it hits TRUE.
cfif name is Bob
Bob is here. Hi Bob!
cfelseif name is Bob or name is Frank
Frank is here. If Bob was here, we'd have never gotten this far. Hi Frank!
/cfif
Consequently, when I write a long cfif, cfelseif, cfelseif, cfelseif,
cfelseif, cfelseif, cfelseif, cfelseif, cfelseif, I try and put the
expressions that are most likely to hit at the beginning.
Like if your checking if a variable is defined and it's a variable
that gets defined on the first page and stays defined, I do:
cfif isdefined('myvariable')
Do this
cfelse
Create the variable or whatever
/cfif
If it's a variable that is usually not defined but causes something
to happen when it is:
cfif not isdefined('myvariable')
Go about your business
cfelse
Do something
/cfif
To test this I made a little thing:
cfif myvariable is 11
cfelseif myvariable is 22
cfelseif myvariable is 33
cfelseif myvariable is 44
etc, thru 100
When setting the variable to 1, the first time I loaded the page it
executed in 150 ms. Reloads are from 0 to 2 ms. Set at 50, the first
page load is executed in 170 ms and reloads are in 5 to 7 ms. Set at
100, the first page load is executed in 180 ms and reloads are in 8
to 10 ms.
Certainly not a huge difference, but when all of a sudden you find a
page with 1,000 lines of code and cfif, cfelseif all over the place,
every little bit helps.
And the same test running cfswitch had pretty similar results on the
initial load, but reloads were always 0 or 1 ms.

It seems the last webmaster had left a bunch of emply carriage returns so I just told word to replace ^p^p^p^p^p with ^p and when it ran out of 5 carriage returns i went to 3 (^p^p^p) and then down to two.. In the end, there was 40k of code... what a nightmare! lol Tony ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: IE4.5 Mac form problem issue! Help.
On 5/28/01, Jeff Fongemie penned: Hello cf-talk, A mac user (HTTP_USER_AGENT = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.5; Mac_PowerPC)) This error message is caused by the second line of a page called authenticate.cfm!

Form Caching
I'm having problems with people's browsers caching form-pages. I'm using CF 4.5/sybase/apache and of course Fusebox. If I change the way a form page works, users start getting errors which I see are caused by submitting older versions of that form which don't work now. Is there a way to auto-refresh the page for them, say in the index perhaps? The only way I can come up with right now is to include a page with a link in the index.cfm before the qry_ and dsp_ pages for that fuseaction. The page will just say Click to go to , then Click your browser's Refresh Button before filling out form. My webmaster said something about IE noticing major changes in a page before using the cached version. Does using Fusebox make this impossible for the browser to do?

RE: Curious about CFIF
Take this with a grain of salt.. i could be wrong: CF server first passes over the entire template(s) to be processed, not evaluating the logic. This is when it finds blatant syntax errors, i believe this is also when it compiles the pcode from the cf code you have written. Then the server runs the compiled pcode, evaluating and following the path of coded logic and performing the actions as it goes. This is when the server finds a different sort of error.. listgetat(thisList,0) would throw an error at this point, i believe. So basically the answer is cf server looks at code twice. The first look it would see the name=joe part, but the second time, it wouldn't. any allaire representatives care to contradict me or elaborate on this one? -Original Message- From: Tony Hicks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 May 2001 09:14 To: CF-Talk Subject: Curious about CFIF When you have a CFIF with a CFELSE or CFELSE IF... does cold fusion only read the code inside the matching condition?

It depends how you want the results to be displayed, but I'd recommend putting the cfoutput tags inside the table before the tr as otherwise you'll open a new table for each line of results, which isn't good if you're pulling rows and rows back from a database.

RE: Request vs application scope
That's the downside! Also, they are unique to each request, so memory processor usage will increase by a set amount for each page request. e.g. APPLICATION scope cflock scope=APPLICATION . cfif NOT IsDefined( APPLICATION.TestVar ) !--- Set up (say) 2KB of application variables --- /cfif /cflock - First request, you get a CPU performance hit while you set up the app. variables, and 2KB of memory is taken up by the variables. - Subsequent requests will detect the existence of APPLICATION.TestVar, and not bother setting the variables up again. - Total memory usage - 2KB for the application variables, however many page requests are made. REQUEST scope - cfset REQUEST.(whatever) = (whatever) !--- set up the same 2KB of variables in the request scope --- - Every single request will use the CPU while setting up the variables, and need the 2KB of memory for itself. - If you're in a frameset, that's (say) 3 times the CPU usage and an extra 4KB of memory per client, per hit. - Total memory usage - 2KB * number of frames * number of simultaneous users. If you're using the scope to store queries or other complex objects, or even long strings, you're going to end up with a fairly hefty performance hit.

RE: Request vs application scope
But using request vars means the memory is released immediately the request has finished... I would agree if you are planning to store large/complex data (esp query result sets etc) then its probably best to use app scope... But would you consider it best if there are just a few simple vars (maybe 100B)? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 May 2001 15:07 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Request vs application scope That's the downside! Also, they are unique to each request, so memory processor usage will increase by a set amount for each page request. e.g. APPLICATION scope cflock scope=APPLICATION . cfif NOT IsDefined( APPLICATION.TestVar ) !--- Set up (say) 2KB of application variables --- /cfif /cflock - First request, you get a CPU performance hit while you set up the app. variables, and 2KB of memory is taken up by the variables. - Subsequent requests will detect the existence of APPLICATION.TestVar, and not bother setting the variables up again. - Total memory usage - 2KB for the application variables, however many page requests are made. REQUEST scope - cfset REQUEST.(whatever) = (whatever) . . . !--- set up the same 2KB of variables in the request scope --- - Every single request will use the CPU while setting up the variables, and need the 2KB of memory for itself. - If you're in a frameset, that's (say) 3 times the CPU usage and an extra 4KB of memory per client, per hit. - Total memory usage - 2KB * number of frames * number of simultaneous users. If you're using the scope to store queries or other complex objects, or even long strings, you're going to end up with a fairly hefty performance hit.

VeRy tricky evaluate()
I'm in a complex situation here which gives NO ERRORS but doesn't seem to work right. please help. My project has several unique sections (where the key=grid) Every user can upload several images to each group. everytime he uploads at least 1 file to a new group, I'm assigning him a session array variable that is called: session.my#url.grid#: cfif NOT isDefined(session.my#url.grid#) cflock timeout=10 throwontimeout=Yes type=EXCLUSIVE scope=SESSION cfset session.my#url.grid#=Arraynew(1) /cflock /cfif then I give him the upload form. after each upload, I'm appending the array with the new file: cflock timeout=10 throwontimeout=Yes type=EXCLUSIVE scope=SESSION cfset temp=ArrayPrepend(evaluate(session.my#url.grid#),file.serverfile) /cflock and now I want to display back the upload form, but with a list of the files he already uploaded: first I'm moving the session array into a local variable: cfif isDefined(session.my#url.grid#) cflock timeout=10 throwontimeout=Yes type=READONLY scope=SESSION cfset a=evaluate(session.my#url.grid#) /cflock then I'm looping without worrying for locking: Files that were uploaded to #url.grid#: cfloop index=i from=1 to=#arraylen(a)# #a[i]# /cfloop the a array keeps being EMPTY all the time. I'm checking that with this: cfif NOT isDefined(a) or arraylen(a) eq 0 You haven't uploaded any pictures to #url.grid# yet. /cfif note that I don't want to : a. query the db everytime to get the list of files that was uploaded. b. limit the session timout to 1 minute Thanks, Michael Lugassy IT/WEB Specialist Interactive Music Ltd. ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Paste Screen Capture into a browser and submit it
I am stumped. Are there any CF Gods out there? No, there aren't any CF gods. The whole point of CF, to me, is that you don't have to be a god to be a good CF programmer. I need to add the capability of a user to paste a screen capture (alt - print screen) of a windows application error, into a browser form without the user having to open another application, save the image, close the application, find the saved file, select it and then upload it. I am not talking about text, I am talking about the bitmap created from a screen capture. I don't know if it resides in the clipboard. The user needs to be able to paste it into a browser page and submit it. I tried CFX_DynamicImage and it brought my server to it's knees. This doesn't really have anything to do with CF - it's a client-side programming issue. You'd really need some sort of client-side executable which could take the screen capture from the clipboard and work with it. You could write such an executable as an ActiveX component or perhaps a Java applet.

RE: WhoIs tag that returns a variable
I did. It seems all these tags do is return the results into the HTML stream. If any of the authors of these are here and are willing to share the source, I can modify the CFX to meet our needs. You don't get much more low-level than Lewis' TCPIP *COM* object (new and improved - even gets your whites whiter!), and this returns your results as a variable. Its not as complex as it looks, there's a lot of functionality there that you won't need.

RE: Form Caching
Greg, First of all, Fusebox has absolutely nothing to do with this problem. How often are you changing this form? The simplest thing you can do to make sure that a user cannot cache that form is to append a random number to the URL or form path to the fuseaction. That way the browser will always have to check for a new version of the form and since the URL will always be different, the form will not cache. (Unless of course by some great chance they happen to get the same random ID twice!) The next thing you should do is make sure that you have all your vars defined so that a user cannot either intentionally or unintentionally cause an error because of missing variables. Another thing you can do is change the fuseaction to the form. (By the way, this is a great example of where the Fusebox style shines.) You could also put a pragma-nocache tag into the HEAD of the specific document to prevent it from being cached - although that doesn't always work. ---mark Mark Warrick - Fusioneers.com Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 714-547-5386 http://www.fusioneers.com http://www.warrick.net -Original Message- From: Greg Luce [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 6:25 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Form Caching I'm having problems with people's browsers caching form-pages. I'm using CF 4.5/sybase/apache and of course Fusebox. If I change the way a form page works, users start getting errors which I see are caused by submitting older versions of that form which don't work now. Is there a way to auto-refresh the page for them, say in the index perhaps? The only way I can come up with right now is to include a page with a link in the index.cfm before the qry_ and dsp_ pages for that fuseaction. The page will just say Click to go to , then Click your browser's Refresh Button before filling out form. My webmaster said something about IE noticing major changes in a page before using the cached version. Does using Fusebox make this impossible for the browser to do?

RE: request scope confusion
-Original Message- From: sebastian palmigiani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 12:01 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: request scope confusion I am trying to understand the request scope. What is the difference between putting cfset DSN = 'foo' vs. cfset request.DSN = 'foo' in the application.cfm template or in any template? When you set a without a scope, it is put in the VARIABLES scope, which can only be accessed by the current page after it has been set, as well as in any cfincludes you might have in that page, that come afterwards. Using the request scope is basically the same thing, since the variable will still be lost after the current page is processed, EXCEPT variables in the request scope are accessible within custom tags, whereas regular variables are not. Note that scoped variables such as SERVER, APPLICATION, SESSION, FORM, URL and ATTRIBUTES are available within custom tags as well. So to clarify and relate to your question, setting a variable with the request scope in your application.cfm is different in that all pages and called tags will have access to that variable (provided you read/write it as REQUEST.DSN), whereas only the current page being processed would be able to read the variable DSN. Custom tags have a separate memory space allocated to them, but the aforementioned scopes are accessible to the called tag even though they are outside the memory space of the custom tag. -Andy ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Request vs application scope
Brilliant! So what's the downside? The variables are not persistent across pages are they? Request variables aren't persistent across pages, as Session, Application and Server variables are. However, you're using them in Application.cfm, so they'll be available on every page. They'll simply be recreated for every page. Since you're using them as constants, there isn't really any downside to using them.

RE: Request vs application scope
Depends on a lot of things - complexity of variables, how often they're going to change, how many users you're expecting, how performance-critical the app is, how long it takes to obtain the values that you're going to store (e.g. if you're storing, say, a five-value array, but populating that array takes twenty queries), etc. etc. etc. Both are valid ways of doing it, I just always try to design data structures in terms of what feels right, for instance, the Home directory of a site feels more like a property of the application, rather than an individual page request, so it goes in the application scope. Besides, if you use app. scope to begin with, you've then got expansibility built in for that horrible day whwn the client says Great, that's just what I asked for, but what I actually WANT is.. -Original Message- From: Daniel Lancelot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 May 2001 15:37 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Request vs application scope But using request vars means the memory is released immediately the request has finished... I would agree if you are planning to store large/complex data (esp query result sets etc) then its probably best to use app scope...

Also, they are unique to each request, so memory processor usage will increase by a set amount for each page request. e.g. APPLICATION scope cflock scope=APPLICATION . cfif NOT IsDefined( APPLICATION.TestVar ) !--- Set up (say) 2KB of application variables --- /cfif /cflock - First request, you get a CPU performance hit while you set up the app. variables, and 2KB of memory is taken up by the variables. - Subsequent requests will detect the existence of APPLICATION.TestVar, and not bother setting the variables up again. - Total memory usage - 2KB for the application variables, however many page requests are made. REQUEST scope - cfset REQUEST.(whatever) = (whatever) .. .. .. !--- set up the same 2KB of variables in the request scope --- - Every single request will use the CPU while setting up the variables, and need the 2KB of memory for itself. - If you're in a frameset, that's (say) 3 times the CPU usage and an extra 4KB of memory per client, per hit. - Total memory usage - 2KB * number of frames * number of simultaneous users.

RE: Using IE5 HTTP com object
I use this all the time for intranet development. It is really useful for client-side
validation and dynamic page building. For validation, use the object to post values
to a page and then wait for the results. In one application, I use this to validate
state/country/postal code combinations. This is great because it doesn't require
posting the actual data entry form until it is totally validated.
For dynamic page building, I use the object in conjuction with a DHTML tab control
that I created. Waiting for the entire page to load with all of the tabs populated
can take a long time. I get around this by loading the page with only the first tab
populated and then the onLoad event of the body tag fires off successive calls to
XMLHTTP to get the content for the other tabs. This content is assigned to the
innerHTML of each tab.
Here is a JS function which wraps the calls. The paramater sContent contains pair
values that will be posted to sPage (seperate multiple values with an ampersand).
function postPage( sContent, sPage )
{
var oHTTP;
var sRetVal;
oHTTP = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');
oHTTP.Open('POST', sPage, false);
oHTTP.setRequestHeader('Content-type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
oHTTP.Send(sContent);
sRetVal = oHTTP.responseText;
oHTTP = '';
// This will remove all tags from the output, which may be added by
// application.cfm.
return sRetVal.replace(/[^]*/g,'');
}

RE: CF 5 is out..
There will be a new version of Studio. For now, however, you can download a Studio update that will enable your Studio editor to recognize CF5 tags. It is in the CF5 Server installer and I'm pretty sure you can download it separately as well.

RE: Request vs application scope
no they aren't. If you set a request variable in the application.cfm it's pretty much the same as setting a local variable in terms of persistence... every page will recreate the variable anew. Request variables are different, though, from local variables in that they can be seen inside of custom tags without specifically passing the parameter. One tecnique used often is to set the variable in the application scope in the application.cfm page (using proper locking, of course) and then to copy the variable into the request scope immediately after. This way you save the cost of creating the variable every page load and/or locking a shared scope every time the variable is used... and trade it for the smaller footprint caused by copying the variable from the persistent shared scope to the request scope. |-Original Message- |From: Steve Vosloo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] |Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 9:43 AM |To: CF-Talk |Subject: RE: Request vs application scope | | |Brilliant!

Re: SSL, IIS CF...
Yes, it is definitely the code calling Web Trends Live that is messing up the SSL page. I am trying to trap for the existence of https: in a page request but cannot seem to find any CGI or request variable that will return whether or not a page request is requesting http or https.

Cheers, BW - Original Message - From: Jim McAtee [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Brandon Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 1:57 AM Subject: Re: SSL, IIS CF... Brandon, Are you using IIS4 (NT4) or IIS5 (Windows 2000)? Just to let you know... my only experience is with IIS4. The following describes what I see in one of my sites with a certificate installed. Select the virtual site and go to Properties (right click, then Properties, or click the finger/hand icon above. On the 'Web Site' tab, it shows the IP address, which I'd setup with the second of your two IP addresses. There's a box labeled 'TCP Port' which should have '80' in it. The 'SSL Port' box should have 443 in it. Clicking on the 'Advanced' button should show two areas, the above showing the port 80 configuration, the bottom one showing the port 443 config. If the 'SSL Port' box on the 'Web Site' tab is greyed out, I belive it's because there's no certificate is installed on the machine (not certain about this, however). Therefore, it may be necessary to correctly install the cert before doing the above. Not sure where you are with the certificate, so excuse me if you already know this: Under key manager your certificate must be installed and bound to the IP address that you're going to use for SSL. Double check this. Installing the certificate is a two part deal. First you generate a certificate request, which you send off to Thawte, Verisign, etc. They issue you a certificate which you then install in key manager. You go back to the request in key manager and install it there. Only after you've installed the certificate (just a block of encrypted text) will the certificate be active. Beyond the above, there shouldn't be anything you need to do with virtual directories or special directory permissions, etc. In fact, you probably don't want to mess with them unless for some other purpose. The entire site should be enabled for SSL. Which brings up some other issues. Once you get this far, I'll tell you about those. Jim - Original Message - From: Brandon Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 12:24 AM Subject: Re: SSL, IIS CF... Jim, Right now, I have only 2 IP Addresses available to use. 1 for the machine, and 1 for the site. Right now, I am using the machine's IP and the site's for the regular http site. I haven't dedicated one of those for the SSL key, which I could. Right now, when I click advanced, I only see port 80 attached to the site's IP. What dould you recommend? I do have two IPs available to use. So are you saying that I create a single site in the MMC and then create 2 virtual directories each having a different IP or are you saying to create 2 sites with each pointing to the same home directory but with different ports and different IPs bound to the same? You are really helping me out here...I haven't message with virtual hosting and leave most of the hosting side of things to those who know better...but in this case, I am the only one holding the bag. If you can be specific in what should go in the site parameters, the IP config for both the ports and sites, advanced properties and possible host header places, I think I might just be on my way...for the record, I guess I do have two IPs I can use, I can point the Key to either of them in the Key Manager and have nothing more to losehehe Thanks a ton, Brandon

RealAudio and ColdFusion
Howdy folks, I'm running CF 4.5.1. The organization I work for has a weekly program which we stream via RealAudio. The RealAudio aspect is working just fine, but I'm wondering if there is a way for CF to detect whether or not the RealAudio stream is active or not (i.e. check for the existence of the .rm file). I looked into using CFHTTP, but couldn't get that to work -- probably because of the media type. I'm not actually wanting to download, just see if the stream exists. If there an easy way to do this?

Re: Request vs application scope
Isn't it a bit illogical to use request scope for storing constants if they can be overwritten? I understand that there is no sense in doing cfif isdefined(request.myvar) as the variable will be destroyed no matter what, so you have to always re-initialize it. Does that carry more or less penalty than checking for existence of an application scope variable with isdefined()? - Original Message - From: Dave Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brilliant! So what's the downside? The variables are not persistent across pages are they? Request variables aren't persistent across pages, as Session, Application and Server variables are. However, you're using them in Application.cfm, so they'll be available on every page. They'll simply be recreated for every page. Since you're using them as constants, there isn't really any downside to using them. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Brandon, Are you using IIS4 (NT4) or IIS5 (Windows 2000)? Just to let you know... my only experience is with IIS4. The following describes what I see in one of my sites with a certificate installed. Select the virtual site and go to Properties (right click, then Properties, or click the finger/hand icon above. On the 'Web Site' tab, it shows the IP address, which I'd setup with the second of your two IP addresses. There's a box labeled 'TCP Port' which should have '80' in it. The 'SSL Port' box should have 443 in it. Clicking on the 'Advanced' button should show two areas, the above showing the port 80 configuration, the bottom one showing the port 443 config. If the 'SSL Port' box on the 'Web Site' tab is greyed out, I belive it's because there's no certificate is installed on the machine (not certain about this, however). Therefore, it may be necessary to correctly install the cert before doing the above. Not sure where you are with the certificate, so excuse me if you already know this: Under key manager your certificate must be installed and bound to the IP address that you're going to use for SSL. Double check this. Installing the certificate is a two part deal. First you generate a certificate request, which you send off to Thawte, Verisign, etc. They issue you a certificate which you then install in key manager. You go back to the request in key manager and install it there. Only after you've installed the certificate (just a block of encrypted text) will the certificate be active. Beyond the above, there shouldn't be anything you need to do with virtual directories or special directory permissions, etc. In fact, you probably don't want to mess with them unless for some other purpose. The entire site should be enabled for SSL. Which brings up some other issues. Once you get this far, I'll tell you about those.

SQL Question...
ok, this is probably a simple question, but i'm hoping somebody out there can help me. i have a database of articles and i am trying to join the article table with the author table, but i also have a table that has all the individual pages of an article (articles can be mulitple pages long). i am trying to write a query that will get all the articles in the table joined with all the author names as well as the number of pages that the article is (assuming that somebody has added a page to the article already). so ideally i want to display the following in my results: article name author name number of pages article active article 1 author A 3YES article 2 author B 9YES article 3 author B 0NO here are my tables/columns that i have so far: ARTICLES ArticleID AuthorID ArticleName ArticleDateTime ArticleActive ARTICLEPAGES ArticlePageID ArticleID ArticlePageOrderID ArticlePageText ArticlePageName AUTHORS AuthorID AuthorName AuthorEmail AuthorActive and this is the query that i have so far. cfquery name=getarticles datasource=#datasource# SELECT ar.articleid, ar.articlename, au.authorfirstname, au.authorlastname, count(articlepageID) as numpages, ar.articleactive FROM articles ar, authors au, articlepages ap WHERE ar.authorID = AU.authorID AND ar.articleid = ap.articleid GROUP BY ar.articleid, ar.articlename, au.authorfirstname, au.authorlastname, ar.articledatetime, ar.articleactive ORDER BY articledateTime desc /cfquery the obvious error right away is that it doesnt show articles with zero pages because of my join. also this query is giving me an error (using SQL server 7) because apparently you cant group on BIT fields. sorry to write a long question and monopolize bandwidth but i couldnt see this question answered in any of my saved CF-Talk emails peter ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: SSL, IIS CF...
Two solutions: If you don't care about tracking the secure pages, you can take advantage of the cgi.server_port_secure variable and include or exclude the web trends code accordingly. Also, I know you can generate a https:// version of the web trends tag from the webtrendslive.com site under the customize your code section.

problem with CFFTP on hosted server
Hi, I am having problems getting CFFTP to work on a shared server hosted at Intermedia. The following code works on localhost (I have already established the connection): CFFTP ACTION=GetFile STOPONERROR=Yes NAME=GetBR_Res DIRECTORY=Database/ CONNECTION=my_query localfile=[the local path here]\Cities.txt remotefile=Cities.txt timeout=60 transfermode=ASCII When I run it on the shared host I get the error below. I have verified that the physical path for LOCALFILE is correct: Attribute set validation error in tag CFFTP The tag has an invalid attribute combination: the value of the tag switch attribute 'ACTION' which is now 'GETFILE' requires a different combination of attributes. For the same switch attribute value the following unknown attributes have been provided: (DIRECTORY,NAME). The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFFTP), occupying document position (52:1) to (60:25). Thanks for any assistance.
