RE: CFFILE UPLOAD ???
You can specify a full path, includeing filename in the CFFILE ACTION="" tag, or you can upload it, and then do a CFFILE ACTION="" to rename it to whatever you want.The advantage of the second method is that you will have access to the CFFILE scope that the upload generates, containing all the info about the file.

Writing Websites for Phone Web Browsers
I was wondering if anyone has any experience making their websites accessible via Phone Web-Browsers? What I am planning to do is check what kind of browser the client is using and based on that, they would view the WML version of the website. The thing is how do you program a CF page to be a WML page? Would you just use the CFContent tag to specify that the page is WML and just add the ?xml tag? What about the dynamic parts of the page? I'm pretty clueless on this matter so if anyone has any experience or advice I would greatly appreciate it.

Re: http_referer
Thanks Matt for the comprehensive reply.

I used to create a uuid, store it in a persistent scope, hash it, put that in the hidden form field and then do a comparison on the form post side.I thought this would stop scrapers as they couldn't know the hash source. I threw this out here in another thread and asked if it had holes.Dave Watts pointed out that anyone can visit the form page and take the hidden field and the key pair cookie values.Once they have those and can fake headers they can blow right past pretty much anything but the gif-code thingie, but even that just requires a human to submit. I'd recommend doing all of the tests you can think of.Referrers, request method, hidden fields, input scrubbing, cfqueryparam etc.But I don't think the solution can be made truly ironclad.

RE: http_referer
HTTPS will only secure the cookies in transit.They'll still be stored in plain text on the user's computer, and may even be sent to the server over plain HTTP if they weren't specifically set with the secure option. However, if you're using a new UUID for each time the form is generated, then the odds of this hole being exploited is acceptably small, at least to me. What are the odds that you'll generate a form, and before the person submits it or a timeout happens some malicious user is going to get both the HTML of the form sent to the user (for the hidden form field) AND their cookie values?About the only chance you've got is packet sniffing, which HTTPS will take care of, and killing the user at their terminal and taking over, which there is no way to prevent. You can also consider mixing other data in the hash, such as the visitor's user agent, or even their IP (though that can get you in trouble if a network has multiple outbound routers).

Re: [cf-talk] Digest Number 92
The CFWDDX ACTION='' is enclosed within a CFTRY with some following code, capturing data passed to it in a FORM variable from another site.The code following CFWDDX has to work if any data are captured, as it CFOUTPUTs over the CFWDDX output.If there is a CFTRY failure the WDDX code passed to the page is captured to the database in the CFCATCH.For debugging purposes I'm also presently capturing all good WDDX tests captured too. The strange part is that I already did as you suggested, comparing failed WDDX with good WDDX to see what the difference might be, but the WDDX can be identical! I cannot make it fail on demand.It will just decide to fail one time and pass another.In one case the code failed repeatedly as I reloaded the test page numerous times, and I went to bed but left the computer on.In the morning I hit the refresh button and the code worked just as it should, capturing the exact same WDDX that had been passed to the browser and held in its form variable cache since the night before.Flabbergasted, I compared the two sets of WDDX in the database and they were identical, character for character.I even saved them to two text files and did a text comparison of the two and they tested identical that way. I don't have direct access to one of the sites but I could arrange to have someone set up a ping-pong test page on it for me.What do you have in mind, how would that help?

RE: Shanje refugees
The big thing about Shanje's plan is that they DON'T nickel and dime you. They charge one price and don't care how many domains you have.YOU pay for the disk space, bandwidth etc you use not per domain.Anything you need, you add yourself through the control panel.Ive found the same thing with the setup I have.Almost all the support questions I had disappeared when we installed the current control panel, because the clients could do their own modifications to the plan any time they like - extra databases, additional disk space, additional mailboxes, subdomains,sqlserver2000 databases, mySQL databases,the lot. Give me a day to sort out how to do the practical stuff like issue control panel access and I'll have a plan modelled on Shanje's structure.(although perhaps not the same actual amounts).

I think the point was that when you create the UUID to put in the hidden form field, you also stick it in a persistent variable scope. That way you can compare the submitted UUID with the original value. If they don't match, you know the form has been spoofed and can act accordingly. This method will stop the submission of form data without having actually filled the form, but it wouldn't stop screen-scrapers reading the hidden field as well as the visible ones. For that you'd need one of those type the word you see in the graphic thingies (I know there's a name for them but can never remember it). -- Howard Fore, [EMAIL PROTECTED] On May 10, 2004, at 10:37 PM, Andrew Grosset wrote: I don't follow...couldn't I just copy the uuid and place it in a hidden field in MY form and submit that?

IIS/CF permissions problem
Yes, I have one of those nasty issues with permissions that crop up with IIS, sometimes related to CF. And I'll start by saying that I have attempted all the permissions fixes that I can find in both the Macromedia and Microsoft knowledge bases. Basically, yesterday my development server (CFMX 6.1, Windows 2003 Server) stopped accepting anonymous accesses. It began presenting a challenge box. However, it wouldn't accept authentication, either, for any user on the server. The problem, while possibly related to CF, does not simply affect the processing of .cfm pages. Even static content (.htm, .gif) produces a 401 error. This followed a change of the user under which CF was running, but not immediately. I made that change last Friday, but things continued to work fine. I cannot say for sure whether the machine was rebooted at some time after that, before the permissions problems arose. But to reiterate -- it won't accept either anonymous access or Windows authorization. After going through all the fixes suggested in knowledge base articles, I finally uninstalled both IIS and CF, then reinstalled IIS. At that point, anonymous access worked again, for static content (I did not test ASP pages). I then reinstalled CFMX 6.1, and the problem returned. No access, either anonymous or Windows authenticated, regardless of the settings within IIS (Anonymous on, Windows off - or vice versa). I have checked the file permissions multiple times. The web root directory shows Read and Execute permissions for the anonymous Internet user account, and these permissions are not inherited, but applied directly to the web root and all enclosed files and folders. When I look at the permissions of individual files, they read the same way. But IIS will not allow me access, either anonymous or authenticated. I'm guessing there's something buried in the Registry that's causing this, but it's beyond me. Any help would certainly be appreciated. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool A Marketing, Creative and Construction Company for the World Wide Web 530 Means St NW, Suite 110 Atlanta, GA 30318 404-589-0560 FAX 404-589-0510 http://www.mediumcool.com [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

The other shoe drops
At work a couple of weeks ago the Manager of IT was informed that he has a new boss as Directory of IT, to better set strategic direction and bridge the gap between IT and the user community. One of the new strategic directions is towards Java/J2EE/JSP. We've been having some serious memory leaks with JRun/CFMX J2EE/Linux that have been locking up our servers about once a month. (It was once every two weeks, so IT decided to throw RAM, about 4.5GB per server, at the problem.) The new guy comes from a major web hosting shop and has some poor opinions of CF (I don't know what versions he has experience with). Rather than isolate the issue to CFMX or the underlying J2EE server, he's decided to switch major directions. While I am predicting that soon I will be moved from Marketing (back) into IT due to my role, I don't have the political will/pull to question his move, all I can really do is brush off my Java skills and roll with the punches. The question (I'm sure you were wondering) is how usable is Fusebox in JSP? I'd rather not go back to Struts, although I may not have a choice. FB just makes more sense to me than Struts. I know there are other frameworks (Velocity, Tapestry) - can someone make a comparison between them and the way FB works? Is there anyone working one Mach-II for Java? It's possible I'm leaping to conclusions. I'd be happy moving data access to an EJB middle tier and keeping the user interface in CF but I'm betting the new guy won't like that. -- Howard Fore, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

RE: http_referer
I used to create a uuid, store it in a persistent scope, hash it, put that in the hidden form field and then do a comparison on the form post side.I thought this would stop scrapers as they couldn't know the hash source. I threw this out here in another thread and asked if it had holes.Dave Watts pointed out that anyone can visit the form page and take the hidden field and the key pair cookie values.Once they have those and can fake headers they can blow right past pretty much anything but the gif-code thingie, but even that just requires a human to submit. I'd recommend doing all of the tests you can think of.Referrers, request method, hidden fields, input scrubbing, cfqueryparam etc.But I don't think the solution can be made truly ironclad.

RE: The other shoe drops
[Tom Kitta] I agree with the memory leaks but not with the size of RAM limitation. There is no problem with going past 4Gb on Windows server. For example you can have SQL server use 8Gb. For how to do this see http://www.sql-server-performance.com/ As far as I know same holds true for other server class OS. On non-server OS 4Gb is a limit, like on Windows XP Pro. The OS must do a re-mapping trick to use memory past 4Gb on 32bit systems and I think this is what Matt was referring to.

Re: SQL Help...
Ben, Without thinking about it too hard (which means this may or may not be the real issue) it looks like you're missing a couple of 'as' clauses: update account as a ... from history as h ... Unfortunately, AS is a voluntary addition to SQL statements. I would love to see them made compulsory... ;) Jeff, I guess I am having an off day with SQL. I think technically this should work but I get a syntax error UPDATE Account a SET a.last_update = (SELECT TOP 1 h.tranDate FROM History h WHERE a.Account_Number = h.Account_Number ORDER BY h.tranDate DESC) Umm... Isn't this going to update last_update on every record in Account to be the one record from History that you get? You're probably looking for something more like : UPDATE Account AS a LEFT JOIN History AS h ON a.Account_Number = h.Account_Number SET a.last_update = h.tranDate But even thats not quite right Just a thought.The transaction history table isn't going any place is it?If its sticking around, then why do you need to duplicate the data into the account table?You can just SELECT it out at the appropriate time. SELECT Account.*, MAX(History.tranDate) AS Last_Update FROM Account LEFT JOIN History ON Account.Account_Number = History.Account_Number WHERE Account.Account_Number = 123 Or if you really do need to duplicate the data into the account table, why not do at the time of writing the record to the history table?

Re: The other shoe drops
Howard, You're in an unenviable situation, where it sounds like politics will play just as important a role as technical merit in making the decisions. My suggestion is that you push your idea of using CF for the front-end and Java for the back-end. CF is vastly superior (IMHO) to JSP for building the user interface, and Java is better for modeling business objects and processes. You don't need to wait for Mach-II for Java. Use the current Mach-II with CF handling the View-Controller pieces (e.g. filters and listeners) and Java handling the Model. It's not hard to do and gives you the best of both worlds. And don't assume that you need EJBs in the middle tier. EJBs have their use, but unless you're running a highly complex distributed environment (or possibly interfacing a legacy app), you should be just fine with a J2SE solution. If you don't like JRun, check out Tomcat, JBoss or SunOne. Dave Jones NetEffect At 10:56 AM 5/11/04 -0400, you wrote: At work a couple of weeks ago the Manager of IT was informed that he has a new boss as Directory of IT, to better set strategic direction and bridge the gap between IT and the user community. One of the new strategic directions is towards Java/J2EE/JSP. We've been having some serious memory leaks with JRun/CFMX J2EE/Linux that have been locking up our servers about once a month. (It was once every two weeks, so IT decided to throw RAM, about 4.5GB per server, at the problem.) The new guy comes from a major web hosting shop and has some poor opinions of CF (I don't know what versions he has experience with). Rather than isolate the issue to CFMX or the underlying J2EE server, he's decided to switch major directions. While I am predicting that soon I will be moved from Marketing (back) into IT due to my role, I don't have the political will/pull to question his move, all I can really do is brush off my Java skills and roll with the punches. The question (I'm sure you were wondering) is how usable is Fusebox in JSP? I'd rather not go back to Struts, although I may not have a choice. FB just makes more sense to me than Struts. I know there are other frameworks (Velocity, Tapestry) - can someone make a comparison between them and the way FB works? Is there anyone working one Mach-II for Java? It's possible I'm leaping to conclusions. I'd be happy moving data access to an EJB middle tier and keeping the user interface in CF but I'm betting the new guy won't like that. -- Howard Fore, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=t:4Todays Threads] [http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:162826This Message] [http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4Subscription] [http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=1210.1130.4Fast Unsubscribe] [http://www.houseoffusion.com/signin/User Settings] -- [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

EJB is a bear that has little benefit for you in this case. It would take less work to find the memory leak than it would to implement an EJB middle-tier. I would recommend trying a different J2EE application server. Sun One and JBoss are both freely available. But neither are officially supported CFMX platforms by MM, right?

RE: IIS/CF permissions problem
Yes, I have one of those nasty issues with permissions that crop up with IIS, sometimes related to CF. And I'll start by saying that I have attempted all the permissions fixes that I can find in both the Macromedia and Microsoft knowledge bases. Basically, yesterday my development server (CFMX 6.1, Windows 2003 Server) stopped accepting anonymous accesses. It began presenting a challenge box. However, it wouldn't accept authentication, either, for any user on the server. The problem, while possibly related to CF, does not simply affect the processing of .cfm pages. Even static content (.htm, .gif) produces a 401 error. This followed a change of the user under which CF was running, but not immediately. I made that change last Friday, but things continued to work fine. I cannot say for sure whether the machine was rebooted at some time after that, before the permissions problems arose. But to reiterate -- it won't accept either anonymous access or Windows authorization. After going through all the fixes suggested in knowledge base articles, I finally uninstalled both IIS and CF, then reinstalled IIS. At that point, anonymous access worked again, for static content (I did not test ASP pages). I then reinstalled CFMX 6.1, and the problem returned. No access, either anonymous or Windows authenticated, regardless of the settings within IIS (Anonymous on, Windows off - or vice versa). I have checked the file permissions multiple times. The web root directory shows Read and Execute permissions for the anonymous Internet user account, and these permissions are not inherited, but applied directly to the web root and all enclosed files and folders. When I look at the permissions of individual files, they read the same way. But IIS will not allow me access, either anonymous or authenticated. Have you set the permissions on the CFMX ISAPI extension to allow read/execute by Authenticated Users? You can find the path of the ISAPI extension by looking in the IIS management console by going to the Home Directory tab for your site, clicking on the Configuration button at the bottom of the tab dialog, then finding the ISAPI DLL that .cfm is mapped to.

I¹m looking for a solution to the the ³back button² problem. I¹m sure there is a stardard way of dealing with this but I don¹t know what it is. When a transaction is complete in my shopping cart an invoice is displayed. I eliminate all cookies and zero all session variables so the customer can return to shop on the site if he or she decides to. Unfortunately instead of clicking the ³continue shopping² button, customers will most times hit the back button. This causes an error from the lack of session variables/cookies that are no longer present. I not sure what the best solution to this problem is. Is there a prevent the customer from using the ³back² button? Any help would be much appreciated. BZaccheo [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Seeking some elementary SQL teachings?
Wise Ones,
We have to change hosting services and need to make a quick decision about
converting from MS Access to SQL and/or MYSQL.Two questions, if one of
you experts would like to advise on?
1. I think that I recently saw a posting in CFTalk that you can convert an
existing DB by reading from Access and writing to SQL and/or MYSQL.
2. The bigger unknown in my mind is the coding, i.e., just how much
different is the coding?
Assuming an illustration would simplest. What changes would need to be made
to the following code to operate on SQL and/or MYSQL?
Thanks,
Nick

RE: The other shoe drops
Just FYI We've successfully deployed CFMX on JBoss. (don't remember which version but was within past 4-5 months) in order to have a backup plan for JRun. -Stace _ From: Matt Liotta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2004 11:19 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: The other shoe drops At work a couple of weeks ago the Manager of IT was informed that he has a new boss as Directory of IT, to better set strategic direction and bridge the gap between IT and the user community. One of the new strategic directions is towards Java/J2EE/JSP. We've been having some serious memory leaks with JRun/CFMX J2EE/Linux that have been locking up our servers about once a month. (It was once every two weeks, so IT decided to throw RAM, about 4.5GB per server, at the problem.) The new guy comes from a major web hosting shop and has some poor opinions of CF (I don't know what versions he has experience with). Rather than isolate the issue to CFMX or the underlying J2EE server, he's decided to switch major directions. While I am predicting that soon I will be moved from Marketing (back) into IT due to my role, I don't have the political will/pull to question his move, all I can really do is brush off my Java skills and roll with the punches. Increasing the amount of RAM never fixes memory leaks. Further, unless you are using a 64bit CPU and OS, then you can't make use of more than 4GB of RAM anyway. In fact, most 32bit operating systems won't allow you to even use all 4GB. The question (I'm sure you were wondering) is how usable is Fusebox in JSP? I'd rather not go back to Struts, although I may not have a choice. FB just makes more sense to me than Struts. I know there are other frameworks (Velocity, Tapestry) - can someone make a comparison between them and the way FB works? Is there anyone working one Mach-II for Java? Apparently there is a Mach-II in development for Java, but no idea when it will be done. It's possible I'm leaping to conclusions. I'd be happy moving data access to an EJB middle tier and keeping the user interface in CF but I'm betting the new guy won't like that. Don't do that. EJB is a bear that has little benefit for you in this case. It would take less work to find the memory leak than it would to implement an EJB middle-tier. I would recommend trying a different J2EE application server. Sun One and JBoss are both freely available. -Matt _ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

RE: IIS/CF permissions problem
Have you set the permissions on the CFMX ISAPI extension to allow read/execute by Authenticated Users? I haven't actively set the permissions that way, but it appears that Users do have permission to read/execute the extension. I assume you mean they should have that permission, right? Would that affect the serving of non-CF files, though? The problem applied to .htm, .gif, you name it. I use applied, past tense, because the problem (thankfully) has gone away, although (unfortunately) I still don't know why it occurred, nor why the reinstall and permissions fixes didn't work the first time. I uninstalled and reinstalled IIS and CFMX one more time. The only actual difference I can discern is that I made sure to delete the CFMX folder before reinstalling. During both uninstalls, CFMX never completed its uninstall. It hung on registry changes, and eventually I had to reboot. Also, between reinstalling IIS and CFMX, I walked through Microsoft's list of default permissions (NTFS permissions, registry permissions, security policy permissions) for IIS 6.0 and made sure they were set according to the document. But I don't know whether that made a difference. The first time I checked these permissions and modified a couple after the reinstall. Anyway, after reinstalling IIS, the authentication issue went away for static/ASP files. And after this last reinstall of CFMX, the issue did not reoccur. Can't say I'm happy that the source of the problem is undiscovered; but at least things are working now. On to re-applying CFMX patches. (Unless someone has encountered permissions problems arising from any of them.) Specifically, Dave, have you ever encountered a problem like this after changing the Login account for CFMX from System to a less-privileged User? (I ask since you've addressed changing the Login many times in the past.)The problem didn't occur immediately after that change; but that change was the last modification made on that server prior to the problem. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool A Marketing, Creative and Construction Company for the World Wide Web 530 Means St NW, Suite 110 Atlanta, GA 30318 404-589-0560 FAX 404-589-0510 http://www.mediumcool.com [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

IIS and Web? Hopefully CF
Does anyone know a good utility to manage IIS, creating Virtual Sites and such from a web browser? (Would like a CF based one) I tried to download the IHTK however there was an error on their site so I am not sure what else would be available. I am running IIS 5 on a Windows platform. TIA!

Re: Seeking some elementary SQL teachings?
Nick,
1. I think that I recently saw a posting in CFTalk that you can
convert an
existing DB by reading from Access and writing to SQL and/or MYSQL.
I use mySQL and a product called mySQLFront (vers 2.5 - version 3 is a
commercial product now).I often get excel spreadsheets of data, so a
quick conversion into mySQL is excel -- Access -- mySQL.The Access
to mySQL bit is done using the mySQLFront.mySQLFront has a ODBC import
tool that allows you to connect to an Access database and import
structures and data straight into a database set up in mySQL.There's
not much else to tell you really its that easy.
2. The bigger unknown in my mind is the coding, i.e., just how much
different is the coding?
Coding differences.For the basics... Not much, as long as you haven't
used access' feature of letting you do all sorts of naughty things like
use reserved words for tables or columns, columns with spaces or strange
characters.
Assuming an illustration would simplest. What changes would need to be
made
to the following code to operate on SQL and/or MYSQL?
CFQUERY NAME=GetRecords DATASOURCE=DB1 DBTYPE=ODBC
SELECT *
FROM Table1
WHERE ID = ID
/CFQUERY
CFQUERY NAME=ExtractData DATASOURCE=DB1 DBTYPE=ODBC
SELECT *
FROM Table1
WHERE ID = ID
/CFQUERY
Right well these two queries don't need the where id = id and you don't
need the quotes around the tablenamesin either access or mysql, as
long as you haven't used invalid SQL names for your tables that is.
CFQUERY NAME=CreateTable DATASOURCE=DB1 DBTYPE=ODBC
CREATE TABLE Table1 (
ID AUTOINCREMENT,
Field1 TEXT (100),
Field2 NUMBER (20)
)
/CFQUERY
CREATE TABLE `Table1`
(`ID` INT (3) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`Field1` VARCHAR (100),
`Field2` INT (20) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY(`ID`), INDEX(`ID`))
Except I've done some extra things like making ID the primary key and
indexing it.
Incidently, Access doesn't do an Number(20) only Number which I usually
find translates to Int(11)
CFQUERY NAME=AddCompletions DATASOURCE=DB1
insert into Table1 (Field1,Field2)
values('#session.Variable1#', #session.Variable2#)
/CFQUERY
No change.
Hope that helps
