Coldfusion hotfix 14 causes [Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver]Internal error: Net8 protocol error

2015-01-05 Thread Dawn Sekel

Has anyone upgraded to hotfix patch 14 on their servers and started 
experiencing a [Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver]Internal error: Net8 protocol 
error or a [Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver]Operation cancelled by user 
request?  

After applying this patch some of our SQL statements started generating these 
errors.  If we roll back our servers to hotfix 11, the error goes away.  

We did notice that in hotfix 11 the jdbc driver version is 
atColdFusion10/cfusion/lib/postgresql-8.3-604.jdbc3.jar vs in hotfix 14 the 
jdbc driver changes to ColdFusion10/cfusion/lib/postgresql-9.3-1101.jdbc41.jar

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot?

cfcontent parent page issues

2011-10-19 Thread Dawn Sekel

Has anyone come across this issue (IE8-same behavior in XP and Windows 7):

- index.cfm page displays a table from a cfquery. The query is based on 
cfselect list allowing multiple entries in a cfform. Clicking submit on the 
form, correctly displays the table output below the form based on the select 
list parameters passed to the cfquery via form variable. 

- a hyperlink in the form (not a submit), target=_blank opens same index.cfm 
using saveas=excel url parameter via cfcontent to display table data to Excel 
instead of html.

- When the user clicks the hyperlink, the page opens in Excel and displays data 
correctly.  They then close the file (and window).  

- On parent page, user chooses other values in the select list, then clicks 
submit on the form.  

Result:  debugging shows all the form variables are null and table data is not 
displayed correctly.  List selections are ignored.  

As long as the hyperlink to Excel file is not selected, user chooses other 
values in the select list as many times as desired, clicks submit on the form 
and all form variables are populated -- no problems.  The only time the form 
variables become null is if the page is opened in Excel in a _blank target 
window via CFContent and then the user closes the window and tries to change 
parameters in the select list on the previous page and clicks submit.  

I'm stuck.

Win 2008 32/CF 9 hardening after the fact

2011-06-30 Thread Dawn Sekel

Is it possible to go back after the fact and harden a server into a production 
machine?  Or do we need to start from scratch.

We have a Windows 2008 32 bit server (clean install/patches applied) installed 
with CF9 out of the box in the C:\Inetpub default directory.  We need to 
quickly move the machine into a production environment.  We already have the 
domain name pointed to that machine and accessible through a URL and we have 
purchased a security certificate for the URL.  I would be happy to send the 
site address via individual email. 

Unfortunately, no one in our organization is very familiar with 2008, and our 
network administrator skills are limited.

We came across 
http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/whitepapers/pdf/91025512_cf9_lockdownguide_wp_ue.pdf
 

and tried to follow these instructions -- but kept hitting errors and 
roadblocks.  So most of these steps were not done. I have created a new site 
location on a different drive and added it in the ETC hosts file (127.0.0.1) 
for the primary application - but do not know what is needed next.

Any tips, tricks dumbed down to a non-network adminstrator would be greatfully 
appreciated.

It is a dedicated web server -- no other services or applications.  It has no 
other services running on it except DSN connections in Coldfusion Administrator 
to our various SQL server boxes and a connection to our Microsoft exchange 
server for handing email in CF Admin.  It is a Public site that will receive

Yes, it's possible to do this. But the big questions depend on how
exactly you plan to use this machine in production. Public web server?
Will it participate in a larger Windows network? Does it run other
services?

Well, this is kind of hard, actually. You can't really dumb it down to
a set of tips and tricks. That isn't how a coherent deployment is
done.

I'd recommend that you either (a) hire a consultant to help you with
this process, or (b) try to implement the steps one-by-one and raise
individual questions here for each step that doesn't work. And, one
thing that's important - the lockdown guide, while it's very good,
doesn't really cover OS security. So, you need to do that properly
first if possible.

On the new website we are bringing up the CF Administrator is available if you 
go to our new domain name and type in the CFIDE directory in the URL.  

If I follow the recommendations from Peter at the link below -- would that be 
all we need to do on a Windows 2008 server?

One important thing is to make sure it's locked down behind a proper
firewall of course.

That will go a long way towards making it secure. Only open ports like 80
and 443

Of course that's just one important step.

Oh, also make sure that the CF Admin is not publicly available

Coldfusion is undefined

2011-06-04 Thread Dawn Sekel

I have been trying to help a host provider who hosts one of my clients websites 
with troubleshooting this error.  If you look at this link with IE:  

http://testing.mellinaassociates.com/test_richtext.cfm 

you will see the javascript error when you doubleclick the javascript error in 
the bottom left corner.  The only difference between that page and this page:  

http://testing.mellinaassociates.com/test_no_richtext.cfm

is richtext=true as a parameter in the textarea.  The ISP says the cfide is 
in the mapping in coldfusion administrator.  They also say they have a virtual 
directory pointing at the CFIDE directory pointing at the INETPUB pub directory 
on the windows server the site is on.  They have verified that the AJAX 
directory exists.  Any suggestions on what to tell them to try next?  Thanks in 
advance for any help.  Dawn

same content different result CFFile vs CFContent

2011-03-14 Thread Dawn Sekel

I am converting some code that originally used CFFILE to write the contents of 
a variable to a file on the server and then attached it to an email and 
emailed.  For security reasons, we have switched to https:// and are providing 
a link for an authenticated user that takes the contents of the variable and 
generates an inline file for the user to download.  The new version however, 
contains a single ASCII character 32 (space) at the end – while the older 
version did not.  Would anyone be able to compare the to versions of my code 
and see if they can identify why the space is being added?  It is the very last 
character of the file.  Thanks in advance for any advice.  Dawn

The original code was:
!--- Create File ---
cffile action=write addnewline=no 
file=#GetDirectoryFromPath(ExpandPath(*.*))##userInfo.LName#-#userInfo.FName#-#userInfo.UserID#-FI.txt
 output=#myFile#
The new code is
!--- Create File ---
cfsavecontent variable=strText
cfoutput#myFile#/cfoutput
/cfsavecontent
 !--- Set the header info to force that file attachment. ---
cfheader
name=Content-Disposition
value=attachment; 
filename=#userInfo.lName#-#userInfo.fName#-#userInfo..UserID#-FI.txt
/
 !---
Stream the text. To do so, we have to convert it to
Base64 first, then convert that to binary.
---
cfcontent
type=text/plain
reset=true
variable=#ToBinary(ToBase64(strText))#

CFcontent puts \n at top of file -- solution?

2011-01-18 Thread Dawn Sekel

I have a web application that creates writes text string of data to be used by 
a VB application and streams it to a file to be saved on the end user's 
computer.  

I am generating a text file from an online database that needs to be opened by 
the VB application with a CHR(10) character delimeter between fields.  The end 
user clicks download in my application and then saves the file to their 
computer to use with the VB application (3rd party written).  Here is an 
example of my code.  When opening the text file locally, it alway's has a new 
line character at the top of the file which chokes the VB program.  Any 
suggestions on an alternate way of doing this?  Even hardcoding the line this 
is a test in the cfsavecontent statement causes the /n character to be 
inserted at the top of the file. In the real application the text string is 
#fname#  CHR(10)  #lname# etc. 
Thanks, in advance - Dawn

!---
Store the text you want to stream. ---

cfsavecontent variable=strText
This is a test.
/cfsavecontent
 

!--- Set the header info to force that file attachment. ---
cfheader
name=Content-Disposition
value=attachment; filename=test.txt
/
 

!---
Stream the text. To do so, we have to convert it to
Base64 first, then convert that to binary.

cfcontent
type=text/plain

Upgrade CF 9 - Now getting Unknown SMTP host

We didn't change anything in our mail servers
Just upgraded from CF 7 to CF 9.
When I use CF Admin to verify Mail connection

However, all mail is being marked undeliverable

Unknown SMTP host: our mail server name
Anyone know how to resolve this?

Hi Russ:  
Thanks for your answer.  

I get a response back through Telnet from the mail server with the version 
number and that it is ready at today's date and time.  Do I need to take the  
credentials out of CFAdmin and how to I test the email delivery to see if the 
settings are correct.

Thanks!  Dawn

I went into IIS and choose SMTP e-mail (IIS 6) and put in my SMTP server 
information.   
Make sure you can still connect to the SMTP server from the web server (not
via CF).

You can test this with telnet

Open command prompt and type

telnet yourServerName  25

if you get a response back from the server then it works, if not, then there
is a problem connecting to the server, not a CF problem.

No nothing has changed.  I have another box running CF7 with the same Mail 
settings and it works fine.  And the mail service was working before upgrading 
to CF9.  That was the only thing I changed.   If I put in a bad password or 
user in CF9 administrator I get unsuccessful connection.  If I change the 
password and username to correct ones and test, I get successful connection 
(when choosing Mail in Coldfusion administrator)

But in my mail logs -- I keep getting that the mail is undeliverable.

Has there been any dns changes for your SMTP server, i.e. has its ip address
changed. CF caches DNS, so restarting CF would resolve that.
Or are they on the same machine ?

Thank you! For Both posts. I kept clicking links on their products and never 
could get to that page.  I'm installing the multi-server version and was trying 
to find sequence to install the other add-ons including Sharepoint.  We are 
going to try to connect Coldfusion as a Webpart under SharePoint 2010.  I can't 
find any documentation to see if Adobe has tested CFSharepoint with 2010 -- but 
other developers tell me it should work because it is just a service. I'm sure 
I'm going to be frustrated and have many lessons learned -- maybe we will be 
pleasantly surprised.

Session timer??

2010-07-23 Thread Dawn Sekel

I was reading this thread - but it is over 7 years old
http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:21407#108226
I am working on a self assessment test website in which the psychologist I'm 
developing the site for wants to keep the end user informed of how much time 
they have left to complete the test.  He doesn't want the session to end -- 
just move them to the next test at the end of the time.  Obviously there are 
lots of flaws to doing a timer on a web page -- like if the end user accidently 
closes the browser. I received some good clues by looking at the thread -- but 
I was wondering if anyone has a recent web page timer in Coldfusion or 
Javascript to share that updates a database record -- or any recommendations - 
gotcha's that they have come across.

Thanks!  Dawn

Thanks Andrew!  (slapping my forehead) I hadn't thought about calculating the 
time the test should end when the user starts--that and your other thoughts are 
great suggestions.

Remember another column value CFSELECT on change

2010-06-14 Thread Dawn Sekel

The purpose of my Form to provide a report completed training.  I am trying to 
validate that the Course Hours of the training is within a minimum and maximum 
range of hours.  I have a select field for Select_Course.  When the user 
selects the course name - I want to remember the minimum and maximum hours of 
the course and then do client side javascript validation that the hours entered 
in the Course Hours field is within the maximum and minimum values.  I know 
I've done something similar -- but can't remember how.  Thanks in advance for 
any advice.  My table for the select statement has the minimum and maximum 
hours in separate fields.

Re: Remember another column value CFSELECT on change

2010-06-14 Thread Dawn Sekel

Thank you so much Michael -- that worked!  Here is the finished code:

if(document.getElementById('course_list').value.length  1) {
   err = err + \n Please select a course from the list. 
   }
   else {
   var cHours = document.getElementById('course_list').value;
   var cHourVal = document.getElementById('hours').value;
   var minMax = cHours.split(|);
   if ((cHourVal = minMax[1])  (cHourVal = minMax[2])) {
// ** debugging area **  
}
   else
   {
var msg = Course hours must be between  + minMax[1] +  and  + minMax[2] 
+  hours.;
err = err + \n + msg;
}
}

**Please note I'm doing this off the top of my head. I don't have an editor
handy.

Well say you set up your select value to be a list with a pipe delim. Say
you have a course with min 4 and max 10 hours.
option value=4|10Super Awesome Course #1/option

In your onChange you set a function call:
onChange(validateCourse(this.value))

then your javascript function

function validateCourse(objVal)
{

// set the course hours value to whatever the field name is.

var cHours = document.formname.courseHours.value;

var minMax = objVal.split(|);

if ((cHours = minMax[0])  (cHours = minMax[1]))
{

// this is what you do when it meets your condition of min and max hours.

}
else
{

// this is what you do when it doens't meet your condition.

}

}

cfsharepoint and Sharepoint 2010

2010-05-26 Thread Dawn Sekel

Has anyone used the new CF9 cfsharepoint tag?  We are implementing SharePoint 
2010.  It is the first time our agency has had Sharepoint.  In reading the 
cfsharepoint documentation for CF9 it sounds like it has the capabilities to 
update document lists in Sharepoint 2007.  We need to bulk import several 
thousand PDF documents into our new Sharepoint with metadata attached.  We are 
also a CF shop and all our external websites are CF based--so cfsharepoint 
sounds perfect.  Until I stumbled across this command, we were looking at 
purchasing a SharePoint bulk import tool which can be really pricey.  I'm 
hoping the command will still work with SharePoint 2010 and I was wondering if 
anyone has tried using cfsharepoint w/2010 yet.  

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Re: CF 9 Hosting

2010-05-20 Thread Dawn Sekel

I have used them for years too -- but I have recently had a really bad 
experience with them.  I signed one of my new customers up under a shared 
hosting account -- just a small application.  The server he was on kept 
crashing.  Their technical support told him that the problem was Coldfusion and 
that he needed to switch to another technology.  They said Coldfusion is going 
out of business and know one uses it any more.  Anyway -- I don't user them any 
more for my smaller customers that can't afford a dedicated server. 

I'll +1 for CrystalTech. I've been using them for years.

Re: CF 9 Hosting

2010-05-20 Thread Dawn Sekel

Believe it or not it has actually been three different companies in the past 
few months.  supp...@crystaltech.com - they said Cold Fusion is problematic 
and is requires constant restarts and advised us to move to a different 
technology. My customer said they told him Coldfusion wasn't a viable solution 
for today's webservers.  It should be noted that this is in a shared Server 
environment. 

The next was goDaddy.com.  My customer wanted to use them as a hosting service 
-- I haven't ever used them and we have had all sorts of problems with them.  
Again a shared server environment.  They keep asking my customer to switch to 
PHP or ASP.

The last was http://www.ablecommerce.com/ They were a Coldfusion shop for years 
and I have installed their Shopping cart software for many customers in the 
past.  One of my old customers contacted me and said that they stopped 
supporting Coldfusion and no longer support it. When I called them, they said 
that they felt Coldfusion was no longer a market leader and it wasn't worth 
their investment to support that market base.  

Sigh

 
 Coldfusion is going out of business and know one uses it any more?

What's the name of the company that said this.   I'll twitter that I heard
they are going out of business and get my 1,200 followers to retweet it.

Re: Substitute/conversion for Flash Interactive Menus for iPad?

Just FYI - I highly recommend using Google Analytics to track who is visiting 
your site.  It is a free tool and not only tells you where people are visiting 
your site from, it also lets you know what kinds of browers they are using, 
whether they are using mobile devices, if their browsers are javascript enabled 
and what versions of Flash they have installed.

Hi, Mark...

Have you looked into using jQuery or another javascript library
for something like this?  I don't think it would be very difficult
to code in jQuery.

I've got a real estate agent I'm building a site for and she wants
the typical Flash-based virtual tours, but I'm going to try to emulate
the Flash with jQuery.  That will involve using photos like in the
top of Utah.gov at the very least.

I have looked into HTML5 -- but I can't find any references for how you
would do things like gotoAndPlay() like you can in Flash.  The site I have
been developing has very similar banner to that of www.UTAH.gov.  When you
click the menu at the top, a text menu overlays the image.  And when you
point at things in the banner, hints display.  Our users are mostly Law
Enforcement and many use iPhones.  A lot of them are also Apple users for
some reason.  I found some code that I'm testing to detect the iPad on the
site that seems to work well.  Currently if you go to my beta site with the
iPhone it shows everything but the .swf files.  If you go to it with the
iPAD - it just says ERROR and doesn't display anything.

Substitute/conversion for Flash Interactive Menus for iPad?

2010-05-04 Thread Dawn Sekel

Hi-I have several web templates that use Flash widgets for interactive 
menus-the buttons are non-standard floating bubbles or have sound and 
interactivity in them when the user mouses over them.  Now my boss said that he 
wants to do away with them and go to something different because of the Apple 
iPad debate.  Is there any tool that anyone knows of that can take a Flash SWF 
and convert it another format that the iPad Safari browser will recognize and 
still retain the interactivity?

Chase Paymentech Orbital Gateway

Has anyone added a shopping cart application

We host our own CF site and want to start accepting

If so, do you have any 
recommendations for an easy to use SDK? Or what

I researched all the shopping cart vendors listed

Use CFLDAP to retrieve list of groups user belongs to

2010-01-28 Thread Dawn Sekel

Hi: 
I currently use this command to authenticate a user against our AD.

   cfldap action=QUERY
  name=results
  start=dc=DomainName,dc=com
  server=serveripaddress
  username=#trim(form.username)#
  password=#trim(form.password)#
  filter=cn=#uname#
  attributes=cn


My IT manager wants me to now allow users to access various tasks in our web 
application based upon the group the user belongs to.  Can I add a filter to 
the filter parameter such as memberOf that will return a string of all the 
groups the user belongs to in the results query?  Or would I have to use a 
second follow on CFLDAP query?  Would anyone be able to share an example?  

Thanks in advance of any advice.

Coldfusion 8 localHost, DreamWeaver CS4, CSS Caching problem

2009-05-05 Thread Dawn Sekel

Has anyone else had this problem and solved it?  Scenario is this:  I have 
Adobe Creative Suite Standard CS4 installed on my Windows Vista laptop.  I also 
have Coldfusion 8,0,1,195765 Developer edition installed.  

Then when saving a htm or cfm file in DreamWeaver while also displaying it on 
my CF Localhost in a web browser after I make a change to page and that also 
involves a change to a CSS file I get the following error:  A sharing 
violation occurred while accessing C:\[name of the file] - where the file name 
is the htm page - not the CSS file.  

I searched the web and someone mentioned that it was a caching problem and they 
fix it by logging into CF Admin and going to the Caching page and clicking 
Clear Cache twice, then the submit changes button.  And indead, if I do that, 
then I can click save in DreamWeaver and the error does not occur.  You 
actually have to do the exact sequence in CF Admin to make the error go away.  
Any clue?

Thanks in advance!

CF Code to create AutoIncrement column MS SQL?

2009-04-23 Thread Dawn Sekel

Hi:

I have a customer whose programmer has vanished and he is trying to get his 
application back on line.  I'm an intermediate CF programmer and I've managed 
to 
get everything working again except for one problem.  His database is hosted - 
and somehow, when he restored his application, the fields in his database lost 
their autonumbering capability.  I tried creating the next number right before 
the insert by getting the max value of the field and then adding 1 to it, and 
that works for the most part, but occassionally, we are seeing the old 
Violation 
of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_TblTestAnswers'. Cannot insert duplicate key in 
object 'dbo.TblTestAnswers' - and I can't figure out why unless to users are 
somehow hitting the same page at exactly the same time and clicking submit.  So 
the only thing I can think of to fix the problem is to recreate the 
autoincrment 
key fields somehow.

Does anyone have any Coldfusion code to insert a new autoincrement key field in 
to a MS SQL table and then remove the old one?  Or is there a way to modify a 
key 
field to autoincrement? 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi Robert:  Yes, that would be the best way.  The problem is, I'm working from

to think of a short cut that I could modify the table using Coldfusion.  The

only insert new ones.  The largest table has about 22,000 records in it.  Can I 
MS Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, if I download it, to do what 
you are suggesting?

You can fix the problem, in the short term, by using the CFTRANSACTION
tag to select the current value, increment by one, and insert the new
record within a single transaction.

 Does anyone have any Coldfusion code to insert a new autoincrement key field 
 in
 to a MS SQL table and then remove the old one?  Or is there a way to modify 
 a key
 field to autoincrement?

It's not really a matter of writing CF code, you just have to write
the appropriate SQL statement to modify the schema. I think that would
involve creating a new table with the appropriate columns, copying the
values from the original table to the new table, dropping the
relationships to the original table, creating the relationships on the
new table, then dropping the original table. I don't think you can
simply alter the column if it's part of an index or primary key,
although I could certainly be wrong about that.

Once you write that SQL statement, you could run it through CFQUERY if
permissions allow, or from any other environment that lets you send
SQL statements to the server. You might be able to do this easier if
you can connect to the SQL Server with the native management tools, as
well - you may be able to just change the column type in place.

Re: Experienced CF Dev seeking telecommute work between June and August

2008-03-29 Thread Dawn Sekel
Hi All,

Here's my situation.  I am a ColdFusion developer with 10 years of CF
experience going from CF8 all the way back to CF3.  I am also (primarily,
since this year) a high school computer science and web design teacher and I
am looking for something to keep myself busy during the summer months; I
will be available from approximately June 10th until August 15th, 2008.  I'm
located in the western Philadelphia, PA suburbs, so unless you're local to
me, I'd be looking for this to be a telecommuting gig.  If you're within a
couple of hours of my location, I'd be available for periodic on-site
meetings (travel expenses paid, of course).

In addition to broad experience in CF, where I specialize in intranets,
extranets, and content management systems, I also have a lot of experience
with learning management systems, performance tuning, user interface and
user factors, page layout, HTML  CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, and DHTML, MySQL
and MS SQL Server.

So, if you think you have a project that needs doing over the summer (I can

Re: Can a JDBC driver effect SQL format?

2007-03-09 Thread Dawn Sekel
I had another thought on this thread (see original question below), I followed 
instructions from someone's blog on how to set up Oracle 10g express as an 
other data access connection.  Would that be the reason for requiring so many 
quotes?

Thanks in advance - Dawn

 I am trying to transfer an application from MSAccess into Oracle 10g.  
 I the free version of Oracle 10g Express running locally for 
 development purposes before uploading to the test server. I have used 
 older versions of Oracle, but never 10g.  It has been a while, but I 
 do not ever remember having to put everything in quotes before. 
 However, the only way I can get table creates and record inserts to 
 work is by putting everything in quotes including the table name.  
 When I look at examples of other Oracle SQL on the Internet, I'm not 
 seeing this format.  Is what I am experiencing correct or is there 
 some setting I don't know about?  Thanks in advance for any advice.  
 This is the query I have gotten to work.  
 
 cfquery name=tableCreate datasource=#session.systemTables#
 CREATE table systemRoles (

 roleID   NUMBER,

 description  VARCHAR2(50),

 viewable NUMBER,

 help VARCHAR2(256),

 createdDate  DATE,

Does anyone have CFoutput example for SQL89 Array field?

2006-11-15 Thread Dawn Sekel
We are working with a customer who has a legacy application written in a 
Progress Database that uses SQL-89 query language.  In their customer table the 
address field (which has a column heading of ADDR) is an array field.  If we 
use CFDump to output the query structure CFDUMP var=qryCustomer we can see 
the column name information.  And it shows the array field elements as having 
an @ symbol in its column heading:

NAME[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED]
CITY 
XYZ Company 111 Main Street   [empty string]New York

But, we can't figure out the correct syntax for a CFoutput statement for the 
individual elements of the ADDR array.  The PROGRESS SQL-89 user guide says it 
should be #qryCustomer.addr__1#, but that causes an element undefined error.  
Does anyone have an example of a select statement for a Progress SQL-89 array 
field that they can share?  Is it possible to use an @ symbol as a field name 
using some sort of escape sequence?  Thank you in advance!  Dawn

SSL Problem? CFHTTP getting COM.Allaire.ColdFusion.HTTPFailure

2006-11-06 Thread Dawn Sekel
Hi:

I've been searching message boards trying to understand what the following 
message means:

Error Type: COM.Allaire.ColdFusion.HTTPFailure
Error Message: Connection Failure: Status code unavailable

This is my source code:
  CFTRY
CFHTTP url=http://myurl.com; method=get throwOnError=yes
CFCATCH type = Any
  CFOUTPUT
 Error Type: i#Cfcatch.Type#/ibr
 Error Message: i#cfcatch.Message#/ibr
  /CFOUTPUT
  CFABORT
/CFCATCH
  /CFTRY

The above CFHTTP command worked fine on our test server, which does not have an 
SSL certificate installed (Windows Server 2003 -- IIS).  But when we move it to 
production (again Windows Server 2003, IIS), we are getting the above error.  
The only clues I've found in Adobe LiveDocs is someone saying FYI, if 
coldfusion needs you to import an SSL certificate, and you are using 
throwOnError=yes, the exception won't exactly lead you right to the heart of 
the problem. Exception type is COM.Allaire.ColdFusion.HTTPFailure and the 
message is Connection Failure: Status code unavailable, which is probably 
shared with several other types of problems. 

And someone else saying:  CFHTTP will not post to an https page with an 
expired certificate. This isn't a bug but the error message isn't very 
informative: 
COM.Allaire.ColdFusion.HTTPFailure Connection Failure: Status code unavailable.

We just recently purchased an SSL certificate for our production server and 
installed it under IIS -- but I don't have a clue on what to do in ColdFusion.  
Can anyone give some things to try?

Thank you in advance for any help you can give! 

Dawn

Re: Problems with CFContent download of .tif image

2006-11-06 Thread Dawn Sekel
Thank you to everyone for their help.  I finally figured it out.  It was a 
caching problem.  In our Application.CFM -- which hadn't been changed in over 3 
years, there was a line:

CFHEADER name=cache-control value=no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate, 
post-check=0, pre-check=0

I took out the no-cache and no-store pieces so that it read:

CFHEADER name=cache-control value=must-revalidate, post-check=0, 
pre-check=0

And it started working.  I got the clue from reading other threads with similar 
problems trying to open Word and Excel files.  So hopefully this post will help 
someone else out.  :-) Dawn

 I am using the following code to retrieve a tif image from our 
 internal imaging server so that I can allow Internet users to retrieve 
 blueprint drawings that are behind our corporate firewall.
 
 cfhttp method = GET

 getasbinary=yes
   
 url=http://myurlname.asp?imagename;
   
 
 cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=attachment; 
 filename=myfile.tif 
 cfcontent type=image/tiff variable=#cfhttp.FileContent#
 
 This code works great except for one problem.  When the Windows dialog 
 box opens and says Do you want to open or save this file? in XP 
 professional clicking the save button works every time.  But if the 
 Open button is clicked we can see the file downloading to the 
 temporary folder -- but as soon as it finishes the file disappears. 
 And when Microsoft Office Document Imaging (the default viewer) 
 launches it give an error opening document message because the file no 
 longer exists.  This only seems to happen on XP 
 Professional--computers with XP Home Edition or non-XP operating 
 systems can open the file on the fly by clicking the open button.
 
 Does anyone have a clue why XP is doing this?  It is also putting a 
 (1) after the file name and the other operating systems don't do that.  
 Is there anyway to stop it from deleting the file so the user can open 
 it? Thanks in advance for any advice.

2006-11-06 Thread Dawn Sekel
We just upgraded to ColdFusionMX7.

If it's the problem in the liveDocs it has to do with importing the SSL
certificate into the keystore... But the error makes me think you have an
older version of CF - what version are you running?

2006-11-06 Thread Dawn Sekel
Hi Bryan:
That is the full error message -- I'm outputting the cfcatch.type and 
cfcatch.message that is returned.  Is there another cfcatch parameter I should 
output?
Thanks, Dawn

Dawn,

Please post the full error message...if it contains peer not auntenticated I 
can help you jump through the flaming hoops to solve it.  If not, then at leat 
we can rule out the known SSL cert issue (having to import the cert into the 
Java keystore that CF uses).
