Long Parsing Time : CFMX 6.1
Why on earth would an application.cfm file take between 800-1300ms to parse each time without fail? It seems to be the cfapplication tag as I have a page with that alone and it still takes too long to parse?

Serious breach of NDA - a polite warning
To breach any NDA is quite a serious offence. A serious breach has occurred. If you are already aware of the breach to the NDA do yourself a favour and forget about it. Do not replicate (re-publish) any information about it or a link to it. Do not discuss it on this list. When MM are ready they will let us know.

By the same token, do you know that you'll really gain anything from
breaking the app into multiple smaller pages? Sure, each page may load
quicker, and the overall 'feel' would be snappier, but that approach could
end up taking the user 3x as long to perform a simple task.
Are those 1500 option select boxes going to get smaller by your approach?
If not, the usability isn't necessarily going to be any better.
How large is the page and what kind of a network will be used? 100Mb LAN
or is access going to be remote, over 36kbps dialup?
If the page load time does end up being slow, I'd reconsider taking the
user back to the form after a save. Go to an intermediate page ('Changes
saved') with the option to go back or else just take them to a layer
above.

RE: Serious breach of NDA - a polite warning
Tom, You, and everyone, are more than welcome to provide comments, feedback, and requests for future product versions. Discussion lists are not usually the best forum for this, as it is hard to ensure that requests and ideas posted in an open forum are correctly logged and recorded. And yes, every request that we hear is logged and recorded. I was just in a meeting yesterday reviewing long lists of these, looking for recurring themes and trying to associate costs and customer value with each. We try to create very customer driven products, and so discussing what you'd like, and sharing it with us, helps immensely. What is a no-no is disclosing any future plans or discussions before Macromedia allows this. Macromedia, like just about every vendor, requires that anyone with knowledge of future discussions or plans (alpha, beta, just idea bouncing via customer advisory boards, etc.) sign non disclosure agreements. Anyone who gets involved in the product planning and development at this level is required to respect confidentiality. This is what Peter was correctly referring to. As for ideas and wishlists, keep them coming. --- Ben _ From: Tom Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 14, 2004 7:51 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Serious breach of NDA - a polite warning apart from that, surely everyone would like something in the next version of CF...

RE: Serious breach of NDA - a polite warning
Why don't people let MM take care of their own NDA issues (and issue their own warnings, in public or private, as they see fit)? No matter how politely you put it, it comes off as immature. If you really feel the need to blow the whistle on someone, send a complaint to them and/or to MM directly, but leave the list out of it.

Re: Serious breach of NDA - a polite warning
Ben, Thanks for making this clear. I may have (deliberately - sorry) misinterpreted what Peter said:) I think this does definitely cover the people who know nothing, aren't part of an NDA program, they can talk about what the hell they like. The people who have signed the agreement, really should not get involved in the conversation as it (in some extent) verifies what these people are saying. Have I made any sense, hope so!

Losing Session
Currently got an application which works fine on CF5 - where you are redirected to an HTTPS connection during a checkout process. Basically you are moving from http://www.foobar.com to https://secure.foobar.com - this works at present as we have configured the load balancer to correctly balance the users requests (Port 80 and Port 443) to the same machine, therefore retaining the users session based on CFID/CFTOKEN which we pass in the URL. Recently we tested it on an MX install and found that the sessions are fine when you are browsing/using the standard HTTP connection but when you are 'redirected' albeit on the same machine the session is lost completely. If you stay on one connection all the time you are also sweet (i.e. stay or start on the https connection from start to finish). Does MX handle this scenario differently than 5? It seems that MX is simple creating a new Cookie for each domain we visit and is ignoring the CFID/CFTOKEN passed in the URL to associate the user with the session data on the server - whereas CF5 would read the CFID/CFTOKEN value and get the data regardless of the domain. We obviously have some options - like redeveloping the storage system BUT we need to know if this is a problem/new issue in MX before. Any thoughts? If this is a change, was it made to ensure session swapping could not take place - or at least easily not take place? (apologies for X-Post as well for those on different lists - trying to find an answer pronto!)

Re: Site security
Michael, I do not work in this line of work, however, as someone who worked in an e-learning company I can lay out the possible alernatives. A) Windows Media: This format has two files needing protection -- the ASX XML pointer file and the actual video file itself. In this senerio, if you place the Windows Media files on a seperate server (in a palce where you have a lot of bandwidth) then in all practicalities you can't copy the file. Windows Media server can run by itself without IIS. By adding Windows security you can block out people from copying the video files. You will then need security on the ASX files to ensure the pointer points to the correct place. This would be the place for the CF based security, rather than on the actual video file itself. This way only internal people will have access to the SAN and access to the video iteslf -- while outsiders might be able to read the pointer file -- they can't make changes to it. B) Flash: If you go this route you can set up autentication using a CFC to connect directly to your movie. C) Real: Real has the same sort of set up as windows media (pointer file and video file), except you have a wider variety of options for operating systems. Again you would use place the real server on a seperate server, locking down the server, placing the video files on a SAN -- and then placing the pointer files on the webserver. Again you will need security on the pointer file (in this case an RPM file). Jeremy >This is a question out to the members of the list working on adult sites.

Re: days of the month
Thanks to everyone who replied. I learned alot looking these over. I ended up using Charlies. It's really nice looking and easily modified. I had a couple of questions and comments about it. - it uses structKeyExists. I'm unfamilar with the term struct. Does that indicate a complex data type, like an object? - I hadn't seen 'writeOutput()' before. I guess that's only for in-line cfscripts. I hadn't seen those before either. It looks nice without all the cfifs and just ifs. - Is the var variables a cf owned (built-in) term or is it just a var that you created here? I don't see it defined before it has attributes added (ie variables.current_date). - I had some trouble grabbing the code off the web page. DW ignored all the spaces and it became one long sentence. I then tried to reformat it, causing some problems. I'm not complaining cause it saved me a bunch of time and looks really cool, but it might be nice to offer it as a linked, file download.

RE: Write to a magnetic stripe card
Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not sure you'd really want CF to do that, because CF is on the server side, whereas the mag stripe writer would likely be on the client side. I think what would make more sense for you is to have a Java/ActiveX object that can perform the writing, then simply send the written data to CF and store the value in a db or whatever. You should talk to Pete Freitag at CFdev.com. I doubt he's built it, but I'm 100% sure he is capable of doing it. He built a CF tag that connects to a scanner, kind of a similar thing.

Re: days of the month
Hi Daniel:
1) structKeyExists() - I use this to check the URL scope for the 'mo' and
'yr' variables. It's really the same as (or in
cfscript if (isDefined('URL.mo')) { do something here }. Arguably, it's a
little bit faster to use the structKeyExists() function. I believe the
rationale was that it's just checking a structure for the existence of a
key, whereas isDefined() actually has to parse a string (the argument),
which is relatively slow.
2) writeOutput() is the same as document.write() in JS. it simply writes
output to the screen. Honestly, I don't know how 'correct' my usage of it
was in the calendar. My goal in the calendar wasn't necessarily to go for a
best practice approach...but rather a "can I build a calender in 100%
cfscript" approach.
3) the 'variables' scope is just the local scope. is
the same as . The latter is just more
explicit, which would prevent any scope hunting as well as making the code
a bit more readable/self-documenting.
4) noted : )
Glad you were able to put the code to use.
Charlie

RE: Write to a magnetic stripe card
One way I see this may work. A ColdFusion app on the server could be used to generate the data to be written and this could be sent to the client. An application on the client would receive this data and send it to the local strip writer. There are allot of tricky specifics in the complicated interactions involved in this. So quite likely this may not be the best solution. Just because a tool (ColdFusion) CAN do something, does not necessarily mean it is the BEST way to do something. -- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.

Form.Field.X and Form.Field.Y are only sent if you have a
TYPE="image" - if somebody hits return, then it's not passed at all
Try putting a hidden field in the form and checking for that, rather
than checking on the name of the submit button

RE: Write to a magnetic stripe card
Not quite sure why you say that. CF is a web based application. It may be able to call some kind of other application to do the writing, but CF can't do it itself. You may want to seriously consider something else. While it is nice to stay within a single language, it seems like writing a web application for a peripheral such as a card reader would waste time more than anything else. Just my opinion, but it makes sense in my head. That's not to say that it's not possible, because in one way you're correct that CF can do darn near anything by calling another program or something. As always though, not everything that's possible should be done.

Re: CF Isdefined on form click
looks like what you need to do is pass a hidden form field that defaults to
0. each time you do your , increment that
value by 1, and then do an index loop over it outputting 'n' number of new

too many client tasks
Hey Gurus, I just started getting a "too many client tasks" ODBC errror. I am running MX and several access databases. In the past I have run more Access db's than I am currently running. In some applications I am getting an error at the bottom of the screeen (the page processing correctly) stating the (client) variables storgage [access] could not be retrieved. If I change the storage to my registry I do not get the error. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks!

RE: good error.cfm template
I placed the error template in the CFIDE folder. This has a Mapping in the admin. I change his file to instead of CFSET I changed the CFSET AdminEmail to My Email address And the mail tag to to="#Application.erroremailsto#" subject="An error has been encountered on Webo3" type="html">#Variables.myErrorPage# Then in the clients Application File I put I set the Site-Wide error handler and the missing template handler to /CFIDE/_error.cfm in the Admin.

Re: good error.cfm template
Ah, your doing it both ways. If you remove the cferror tags, you will see that your error page gets ignored when it looks for the application variable. CF looks for the error page in this order. 1. Looks for cferror in your application. 2. Looks for the global error page setting in the admin. 3. Returns it's own error handler. If there is an error in 1 or 2 they will be ignored and CF's default error handler will be returned. You can't use variables other than local variables and error variables in your error handler if your not going to include cferror on every site. The only time this would be a problem is if your hosting clients that write their own applications on your server's. You can't force them to include a cferror tag and set that application variable in their applications. So if they don't do that than the error page will be ignored because it contained an error itself. So then cf will return the default error handler.

Re: help with regular expressions!
First a couple of observations:
If it were me, all of those fields would be in separate fields in the database.
Then there would be no need to do what you are doing.
However, it that's not an option, change the way you are posting the data so it's a list, and parse it out that way, using a delimiter like chr(128) or something else as innocuous. Then, pulling it apart is simply a retrieval of a particular list item.
So for example, if you used the pipe symbol ("|"):
User1|10/28/2003|2:53:52|THIS IS A TEST
Now it's as simple as
un = listGetAt( query.column, 1, "|");
dt = listGetAt( query.column, 2, "|");
tm = listGetAt( query.column, 3, "|");
cm = listGetAt( query.column, 4, "|");
#un# | #dt# #tm#
#cm#
As far as regex, the problem is the username. eg is it always one word, or is it possible to have one with spaces in it? If your example is correct, I would say that a regex solution won't work either.
Show us some actual data.
Thanks,
Robert

Re: help with regular expressions!
If you don't need the pipe symbol betwee the username and the date, then the following would do: txt = query.column; txt = replace( txt, "***", " txt = replace( txt, "***", ""); // replace second *** cmStart = val( Find( "", txt)+7 ); cmEnd = len(txt); dspTxt = mid( txt, 1, cmStart); cm = mid( txt, cmStart, cmEnd - cmStart); #dsptxt# #cm# Still, if you could replace your posting script to change it's format that would be the way to do it. Either (ok) MAKE it post the list in the format you need it in, or (BEST) break the data into separate columns in your database. > well I thought we regular expressions I can do some patter matching > something to look for the first set of opening and closing 3 stars *** > and replace everything inside/between the stars including the stars > with > User 1 | 14/4/2004 15:58:15 > > >I don't think his string has delimiters. > > > >-Original Message- > >From: Dave Francis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Sent: Friday, May 14, 2004 10:34 AM > >To: CF-Talk > >Subject: Re: help with regular expressions! > > > > > >Why regex rather than just Replace() or ListGetAt()? > > - Original Message - > > From: cf coder > > To: CF-Talk > > Sent: Friday, May 14, 2004 11:15 AM > > Subject: help with regular expressions! > > > > Hello Everybody, > > I've tried hard to find a solution to my problem but > > have had no luck. > > > > I am pulling the data from the 'comments' column in a > > database table.

regular expression for line and paragraph breaks
Hi, I am copying the text from MS Word to a coldfusion page. The text in MS Word is in a table of many cells. I am trying to re-recreate the table in ColdFusion using regular _expression_. #chr(10)# detects the end of a row. #chr(9)# detects the end of a cell. What characters would detect the line break (br) and the paragraph break (p) of the text inside a cell? Thanks.

I can update by using A href with URL string. I have reviewed appplication, app_local, App_global and index.cfm and it all looks clean. Tested on other machines with similar results. If I pull out code snippet and test other directory the form submit button works. SQL properites/permissions have all been checked. I can pull data but not insert/update. I'm baffled.

HOW do I write code that says: "If there is no data, skip to the next field and so on" In this case there is a CompanyName, no FirstName, no LastName, but there is a Phone. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Re: Securing CF Apps against SQL Injection & Cross Site Scripting
I'm jumping a little late into this discussion, but I see a couple of things which haven't been discussed. I think you need to do protection against XSS and SQL Injection in multiple layers. 1.) Web Server / Application Server Layer 2.) Pre-Application Execution 3.) Post User Input / Pre Query 1: On IIS you can use the Microsoft tool URLScan for this, or the Aqtronix Web Knight. I believe this capability is built into IIS 6 on Win2K3, but I haven't used it yet to know for sure. For Apache, you should check into mod_security. I was pretty happy when this was released, and use it on my site. 2: I essentially wrote a custom app which checks various scopes for various RegEx's related to XSS and SQL Injection which are ran from Application.cfm, as well as the detection of buffer overflow attempts, etc. If something is violated, we get an e-mail with the details about it, and the user is redirected gracefully. 3: Make sure you scrub all user input, including checking the Len(Trim)) of each parameter to make sure it's not too long. Never trust anything which is coming in via form, url, cookie, or client variables (such as CGI.HTTP_USER_AGENT. And as others have mentioned, proper granular security on databases. This is a bit on the anal side, but the software I work with requires it. Note that pretty much all of these solutions assume you have a decent grasp of writing RegEx's, as well as know how the various exploits can be performed.

More Information: Also URL string when posted by Form Submit doesn't include FA= Example should read: admin/index.cfm?FA=JobCat&Job_dept=123 Instead it reads: admin/index.cfm?Job_dept=123 [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
Re: Missing FA=
Try changing your form from get to post, or vice-versa. Also try to remove the fuseaction variable from the form tag and put it into a hidden form field: I can't remember what causes this, but it seems to me that I started having this problem when we I started working with CFMX. -Bret Randy Messer wrote: > > I have a set of fuseaction applications that I use over and over.

Cached queries aren't taken from the name, but taken from the datasource and the SQL If you run the same query on the same datasource, it'll pull it from the cache rather than going to the server You could called all of your queries "getTheData", CF won't care [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Yes, IIS 6 has an input filter, although it's not exactly the same as URLScan.

Session variable getting disappeared after CFMX home page in JRun
Gurus, We have a mystery in our development server. Application.cfm is follows .. .. .. .. In "set_session.cfm",after our authentication session variable is set as follows, Authentication All pages looks for this session, otherwise it kicks you out. Home page works fine and we can see the session variable in debug statement. But, here is mystery, if we click any link in home page, session variable gets disappeared and hence that page kicks you out. All links are cfmx templates in same server and directory. Also (1) We have enabled session management in Application.cfm (2) We have given ample time in CFMX admin for session timeout. Have you come across this issue of losing sessions. Any ideas how to retain session, between pages? Venky [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
Re: ColdFusion installation issue
I set up a new installation of Windows 2003 Enterprise, [ IIS 6.0 ]and then installed CFMX 6.1. I an not using Active Directory. After going through the install chores, the installer notifies you that the installation was successful and that CFMX administrator will then open in the browser to complete the installation. This is where I ran into a problem When IE opens up and tries to open the CFMX administrator page, it reports "SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE" All files seem to be in the right place, and the ISAPI configuration appears to be set up by the installer correctly. all the settings shown in the exhibit of Dave Watts paper on the Macromedia site appear to be in place. Anyone have a clue as what I need to do to get this installation completed?

How do you concatanate two table fields in CFQUERY with MS Access
Hey all, I need some help with MSAccess SQL statements. This code throws the error: Too Few Parameters SELECT tblusers.username, tblJobSeekers.jsfname, tblJobSeekers.jslname, tblJobSeekers.jsemail, tblJobSeekers.jscountry, tblJobSeekers.pverify, tblJobSeekers.jsphone1, [atfname] & " " & [atlname] AS AgentName FROM tblAgent INNER JOIN (tblusers INNER JOIN tblJobSeekers ON tblusers.userid = tblJobSeekers.userid) ON tblAgent.atid = tblJobSeekers.agentid ORDER BY tblJobSeekers.jslname; >From this you can see that I want to concatenate the atfname and atlname fields into one field and call it Agent Name. There's a reason I need to have one column with this value rather than do it later when I'm displaying the data, its for use with a custom tag. Can anyone suggest why I'm getting this error, and what should be the correct syntax? This particular query works perfectly from within MS Access itself. -Gel [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
