Re: Very disappointed in Viviotech
Ok so now I'm ok with Viviotech again.They're a fine company and sensitive to customers hot buttons. The support guy I spoke to said something that really pressed a button and in my usual hot-blooded fashion I went incandescent.I really should learn to take a deep breath once in a while. Anyway the result is when I called Viviotech back again after I'd cooled off a bit ( and i sincerely regret I didnt wait to send the above post to CF-TALK ) the same guy had had a think about our previous conversation and took a different tack.We got me set up for managed support and in the mean time he had researched the answer to my problem, and we went on from there. Also, Jordan Michaels the co-owner of Viviotech wanted to talk to me too.I thought he was going to give me a lecture about patience (he'd have been justified ) but no, he was ready to listen and understood my issue entirely. My issue is now resolved, and my anger has gone away. And I'm impressed that no one at Viviotech made any attempt to wiggle their way away from me and onto something else (the standard tactic when you call plenty of other companies) - they stuck with the problem until it was resolved. So i'm having a bit of a roller coaster of a day. Began high in positive energy, went downhill when I coudln't get my first account up and going, then back up again when they dealt with me so well. I'm sure some of you already know I can be a difficult bugger to deal with if you press the wrong buttons, and Viviotech handled it all well. I'm a happy customer.

Very disappointed in Viviotech
So I signed up with Viviotech - got a VPS. Started setting up my first hosting space after reading the documentation - had a question about why I was getting an error message that didnt seem to be covered by the documentation anywhere. Rang Viviotech. Got a jerk that told me that since I didn't have managed support, he wouldn't answer my question, and nor would he tell me where in the documentation I could find out about the error message. That guy should be sacked. I understand about paying for support, and I understand they dont provide 24/7 support for nothing, but I would have thought a new customer might have been able to at least get a little bit of handholding at first. I would have thought I'd have been able to get a LITTLE bit of help setting up my first site so I understand their concepts.

Re: MSIE 11 HTTP_USER_AGENT
Maybe if one scrolls down to the link http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ie/hh273397.aspx May explain what Microsoft are doing and saying, I am also sure IE10 also removed most of that infor too.

well there must be some other way to identify or M$ would be screwing themselves on their own sites.

Re: MSIE 11 HTTP_USER_AGENT
>>Problem is that signature can be faked. Of course, I don't use it to maintain security on my sites, but to insure that pages are displayed correctly. If a visitor using Firefox fakes his signature to look like MSIE, it's his problem. Now if MSIE looks pretends to be Mozilla, it's a problem for all visitors (Ok, say 80%). My pages load different CSS files for Mozilla or Explorer, and now IE 11 is displaying my pages using Mozilla styles. There are many places the pages are not correct, this poofs that IE 11 is NOT 100% compatible with Mozilla.

Re: how to check if a remote file exists
>ok, so then how would I do the copy from w2k3 to cf9 server You would use CFHTTP to grab the content from the other server, and then save it as a file on your CF9 server. Personally I would do a separate CF app, scheduled in the CF administrator, that would periodically look for the file on the other server, and if it is there, grab it and download it. Then when your aggregation app runs, it just has to worry about content on your server. YMMV of course - I'm looking at it from the perspective of an application I worked on where the other server wasn't that reliable, and separating the "grab files from the other server" and "process files" helped troubleshooting tremendously. ~| 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:358245 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
