Re: cfhttp response with non-english characters gets cut off
Dump HTTP headers and look at Content-Type header. There is a "charset" attribute that specifies the input stream encoding. Most likely it is missing or incorrect. If the "charset" is missing, CF assumes UTF-8. However, in UTF-8 any char with the code higher than 127, is treated as an escape code that initiates multibyte sequence (up to 6 bytes). Not all sequences are valid UTF-8 sequences. When CF tries to convert not valid UTF-8 stream, the truncation or abort happens. Any 8-bit code that uses high codes, will not be converted correctly, unless the proper charset setting is used. Looks like your case. Same will happen, if HTTP header says UTF-8, but the stream is, actually, some 8-bit national encoding. MSXML does not make any conversion. It assumes your default codepage (8-bit) and makes UTF-16 out of this. This is why you get all characters, but not necessarily correct ones. Resume. Provide correct charset parameter in CFHTTP. This might be tricky, since you may not always know how the original stream was encoded. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:344636 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

RE: scoping
A good question that was brought up by one of our developers. When you don't scope a var it has to search through the various scopes to find it, in order of precedence. If you are using alocal scope, is there a performance hit if you don't scope it since "variables" is implied or does it still go into search mode? Also...is this negated of you use a cfset on the top of the page (again...this is only referring to local vars.)

Re: scoping
I'm going to jump in on the side of variable scoping for another excellent reason: programmers don't tend to use words precisely and that ends up with confusion. When we say: variables.foo = 'bar'; we are not setting a "local" variable. We're setting a key and value in the variables scope which lives in the request scope. When we say (in CF9 and Railo 3.x): var foo = 'bar'; or local.foo = 'bar'; we are setting a key and value in a scope that is local to the function (if we are inside one) that cannot be seen outside of that function. If we set variables.foo (I believe) inside a function it will be a request scoped variable and available to access outside that function. And if we just say: foo = 'bar'; the behavior depends on whether you are inside a function or outside a function and which version of CF/Railo you are on and, if I recall my Railo settings correctly, the default behavior can be switched around in the administrator as to what scope unscoped variables will end up in. Which, of course, means that your code may not even run the same on a production server as it does on your dev box. So, in short: If you scope your variables, they should work the same everywhere. If you do not, they *may* work the same but then again they may not. So scope your variables so they aren't so variable :) Judah On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 12:23 PM, Mike Chabot wrote: > > Always scope your variables, unless you have a specific reason not to.

Re: Using CFTHREAD on CF PRO
Instead of going the route of using cfthread, I would suggest that you might looking into using a queue to handle this. There are a lot of queue options out there ( I believe that Railo uses ActiveMQ for a bunch of things internally, don't know about Adobe) but the essential idea is that you push a message onto the queue at the end of your request (onRequestEnd) and then you have an asynchronous worker process that monitors the queue, pulls messages off as they show up and then processes them. If you start seeing a big spike in traffic and need to pull the messages off the queue more quickly, you can increase the number of workers. If time isn't a particularly big issue, you can just let the one worker go and the messages will all be dealt with eventually.

Re: cfhttp response with non-english characters gets cut off
Out of the box, no, I wasn't setting a different encoding, but as a course of trying to find a solution, I did try multiples. Nothing seemed to affect the situation, so I went back to the defaults. I also did play with the getasbinary, but I didn't try 'never'; I actually tried 'yes', thinking I could decode the binary results into a working string. I'll try the 'never' option.

First, you're not specifying a different character set using the CHARSET attribute of CFHTTP, right? I assume not, just checking.

cfhttp response with non-english characters gets cut off
I'm running into a strange issue here. CF8: (8,0,1,195765) JVM: 1.6.0_16 Windows Server 2003 We're implementing a resume parsing service, posting the resumes to the service using cfhttp. All was going well until we ran across a handfull of our test resumes, all with non-English special characters (accented characters, Greek letters etc). As far as I can tell, all the characters are valid utf-8, but the cfhttp call fails with "Connection Failure" in the filecontent on all files containing one of these characters. If I remove the offending character, I get the full results. I've also tried saving the result to a file (by passing the file and path params to cfhttp), but the resulting file is getting cut off--but not at the offending character, there is plenty of the file content after the character. IIS logs indicate that the server is receiving the full byte count reported by the response headers. It appears that the content is getting cut off somewhere in the JVM or CF processing. Days of google searches have turned up no similar experiences, nor any workable solutions. If I retool the call to use MSXML as a COM object, the offending files run fine, though they take 20+ seconds longer to process. Such a degradation in performance is obviously unacceptable. We're at a loss trying to determine what the root cause of this problem is, and the only solution so far increases processing time 10 fold. Has anyone seen anything like this before? I'm open to any ideas on getting a workable solution to this. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:344613 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: RegEx Question
Here is a very blunt regex that should match the opening tag (does not
check for the lack of target="_blank":
Here's a great site:
