Re: Enable Request Debugging Output not working

2015-04-06 Thread Michael Grant

My own personal, and albeit completely anecdotal, experience bears out what
Russ has written. By default you get the crappy 500 error, which the first
time I encountered it kept me running in circles for a while because I
didn't think it was coming from CF.

Hopefully the OP is at least being entertained if not helped.

if one is changing this setting on a remote server it is likely to

 In order to see the REAL cf error you have to turn on detailed

 display
 instead of the 500 server error.

Re: Sudden error with CFHTTP ans SSL

2015-04-03 Thread Michael van Leest

Verisign certificate products have been taken over by Symantec.

2015-04-03 18:54 GMT+02:00 :


  Payments were getting processed but the results
 confirmation didn't work. This is on Coldfusion 8.

 That was exactly the problem, on CF 9 also.

  the certificate needed is the Verisign G5 certificate

 In my case, the certificate I got from the Paypal site was a Symantec
 certificate.
 That is probably the problem: Paypal must have moved from Verisign to
 Symantec, which is logical since both Paypal ans Symantec are owned by eBay.

Re: considering two options for changing hosting

2015-03-27 Thread Michael Grant

I use Newtek and they are pretty good. However I've tried to run CF and
Wordpress on the same Windows server with Newtek and Wordpress was super
slow. They kept telling me it's a known issue and there's nothing they
could do about it. I ended up splitting onto two different servers. It's
shared hosting so the tech staff is only so supportive of edge case issues
like this.

 I am currently using Newtek/Crystaltek for a client site and have a couple
 of issues with them I am able to resolve.  The site has been with them for
 several years.

 1.  Lately the Wordpress portion of the site has become slow and I can't
 figure out why.  It's not the db and it is not the plug-ins.  It's a simple
 site with not many posts or widgets and it should be faster.  The CF
 portion of the site is fast.

 2.  They don't support http compression.  This is more a minor annoyance,
 but it is something I want.

 So I am looking at the Hostek Personal Plus for $7.99 CF shared hosting.
 Has anyone used both hosts and can compare the two?  Will I see a
 performance difference?

Re: trying to shorten long string

I think the point is that he's trying to truncate the text in a meaningful
way, such as at the end of a sentence.
One way around 4.5 houses is to only use a period as a delimiter if it is
followed by at least one space and an uppercase letter. It's not perfect of
course, but it would eliminate more edge cases of your truncation not
working as intended.

Threaded cfhttp example

2015-02-16 Thread Michael Christensen

Hello Experts!

I have been trying to create a multi-threaded cfhttp request script, but I have 
so far failed miserably.

I want to run 10 concurrent threads that call URLS using cfhttp and I want to 
store the results (basically cfhttp.filecontent) in an array or a similar 
structure that I can loop once all threads have finished.

Can someone provide me with a working example of this?

 that.
 
  As Wil mentioned, Homesite predated CF Studio. Allaire purchased it
  and kept Nick on to make future versions. The next version was CF
  Studio, which was basically Homesite with RDS functionality and
  CF-specific code generators and wizards. But after a while, the
  product was renamed Homesite+, and still had the RDS functionality
  and
  CF-specific stuff. So for me at least, I think of all three as
  Homesite, because they're all basically the same thing. Homesite+
  was the final version released by Macromedia, and I think it was
  still
  supported for a while after the Adobe acquisition.

Re: Advise in optimizing an application

2014-11-15 Thread Michael Grant

Do you have indexes on ml_email and groups_id columns? I would likely
create an index that has both in it.

There's a couple of suggestions about changing your architecture a bit:

First, from the looks of it I think you could probably combine both these
queries into one with a left join vw_mailLIST and then evaluate the outcome
to determine if you delete the item from your array. As long as the items
joined on are PKs or have an index it should be faster than running two
individual queries. Without knowing the actual table structure or data I
can't be sure but off-hand I'd think the following would be much quicker.
(Note that since I can't test there may need to be some tweaking.)

SELECT mlu.groups_id as mlu_gid, mlu.dateRESUB, vw.groups_ID as vw_gid
FROM   maillist_unsubscribe mlu

LEFT
JOIN   vw_mailLIST vw
ON mlu.groups_id = vw.groups_id

WHERE  mlu.ml_email = vw.ml_email
ANDmlu.ml_email = cfqueryparam value=#mailREC[i][1]# cfsqltype=
CF_SQL_VARCHAR
ANDmlu.groups_id = cfqueryparam value=#req.thisGROUPID# cfsqltype=
CF_SQL_INTEGER /


You can then evaluate if dateRESUB is NULL, if mlu_gid and/or vw_gid are
null or if there's recordCount at all to determine whether you remove the
item from the the array. You can also have your if statement about the
dupFILTER there as well. This puts everything into a single loop with 50%
less queries.


Second, I would consider doing things a bit differently and instead of
looping over your array with individual queries it should be much faster if
you run a single query and then loop over the query result to determine if
you update the array. So create a comma separated list of email addy's from
your mailREC array and use it in an IN statement on mlu.ml_email. IN
statements aren't super efficient, but if you have an index on ml_email it
should still be much faster than 15,000 individual queries. Then loop over
the result set and use ArrayFind to see if the result is in the array and
if it is, delete it. The result set should only contain the results you're
looking to delete if I'm understanding your queries correctly. This
approach would be WAY faster and much more scalable since looping over
15,000 or even 100,000 results in memory is way quicker than making that
many database queries.


Hopefully you find this useful. Without having your database to query
against it can be a bit tough to determine if the code I wrote works. I do
think the architecture logic in approach two is worth the time to refactor
though.


Have a great day.


Mike

   I'm still fighting with my Excel Import application a
   bit. Basically, it works pretty well, as long as
   there's a limited number of records being imported.

 Was testing last night with the 15,000 record Excel sheet.
 If I comment out the two filter queries in the code, it will read in the
 sheet and a cfdump of the array shows everything was imported properly.
 Didn't time it, but it only took a few minutes. Adding those two queries
 back in and trying to import the entire sheet - the server choked and I had
 to call support to reboot it. Whoops.

 It's the two filter queries below that are slowing the whole thing down
 and choking the server. The one optimization I can think of is the look for
 duplicates query. Instead of running that against the entire database
 looking for matches (several hundred thousand records last time I checked),
 I should do a query of queries and run the loop ONLY against records for
 that one group, which I'd prefetch before starting the loop. That should
 help a lot. Working on that now...

 One thought I had - I don't care how long the import of a large sheet
 takes. It just can't choke the server. Would there be any benefit of
 putting in a DELAY for every 500 records (or so) in the loop to give the
 server a rest to do other stuff?

 cfif i MOD 500 EQ 0
 cfset sleep(5000) /
 /cfif



 FILTER QUERIES

   !--- delete the row if it was an invalid address. Got to be a way
 to fix this but ---
   !--- the above data output block wants to add an invalide row if
 you try to skip the entire row when the address is invalid ---
  cfif mailREC[i][1] eq -

 Then use the Linux mod_rewrite redirect below on the current www box and
 you should be good to go.  Since you've got Linux on www, you could also
 install NGINX (which makes a great HTTP proxy server) or use Apache to
 proxy traffic to ww4 while maintaining the www in the URL.  You'll need
 to enable some IIS settings to allow for proxying and set a www handler
 on that machine, but once you do, that's pretty much it.

 Apache Example with mod_proxy:

 Location /
 ProxyPass http://www4.esu.edu
 ProxyPassReverse http://www4.esu.edu
 SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
 /Location

 NGINX proxy example:

 server {
 listen   80;
 server_name  esu.edu www.esu.edu;
 access_log  /var/log/nginx/esu.edu.access.log  main;

 location / {
 proxy_pass http://www4.esu.edu:80;
 include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
 }
 }

  Is the current www4 a Linux or Windows machine?  I would suggest
 handling those at the web server level, with a 303 status code to let the
 search engines know the redirect is temporary, rather than through the
 application - with the exception of perhaps some dynamic redirects that
 need to be changed on-the-fly.  Much more efficiently handled at the web
 server level.
 
  Linux redirect to ww4 example:
 
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.esu\.edu [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)
 http://ww4.esu.edu$1 [L,R=307]
 
 
  Windows IIS web.config redirect example:
 
  rule name=Redirect www2www4 temp stopProcessing=true
match url=^(.*)$ ignoreCase=false /
conditions logicalGrouping=MatchAll
add input={HTTP_HOST} pattern=^(.*\.)www\.esu\.edu$
 ignoreCase=true negate=true /
/conditions
action type=Redirect url=http://ww4.esu.edu/{R:1};

Re: Work Around for SSLv3 Vulnerability?

Just a heads up to everyone, I'm still waiting to hear back from Newtek about 
whether they've reimported the certs and CA cert again. Once I have some news 
I'll post back. Thanks again everyone for your guidance.

Work Around for SSLv3 Vulnerability?

2014-10-30 Thread Michael Grant

I have a legacy app on CF9 (originally CF7) which uses CFHTTP to make a secure 
connection to Chase Paymentech's Orbital payment gateway. I have the SSL's 
installed into the Java keystore like I'm supposed to and for about 7 years 
this app has been working as expected.

Fast forward to a few days ago and my host disabled SSLv3, as the world has 
been instructed to do to thwart the POODLE vulnerability. The moment they did 
that my app no longer can process transactions. I get the classic 
COM.Allaire.ColdFusion.HTTPFailure type error with the message Connection 
Failure: Status code unavailable. This isn't the typical message of when you 
don't have the cert installed where it says peer could not be authenticated.

According to tech support it's only with CF that disabling SSLv3 stops 
communication. Apparently others don't have this issue. 

Does anyone know of a work around? I'm not sure if CF9 is the problem or CF as 
a whole. Would upgrading to CF10 help? I'm in a real bind here as the client 
hasn't been able to process ecommerce transactions for a few days now.

Any help is appreciated.

Here's the cfhttp code:

cfhttp url=https://orbital1.paymentech.net; method=post 
throwonerror=yes port=443

Re: Work Around for SSLv3 Vulnerability?

2014-10-30 Thread Michael Grant

I don't know. Newtek is the hosting provider. As soon as they disabled ssl3 it 
just immediately stopped working. I don't really know what to tell them to do 
and I'm not sure they have tried all that hard to find a solution.

Do you know what setting would determine if it negotiated down or not? I would 
essentially just share this back to Newtek in the hopes they could help.

Re: First Data Global Gateway e4 sample code

2014-09-23 Thread Michael Dinowitz

Thanks for the API reference but it's already in my compiled notes. The
issue is that there are a number of examples in other languages but nothing
current in CF. Someone mentioned to me about a problem in CF9 and
firstdata's SSL gateway, but I need more information on that.

As a follow-up, here's a section of my compiled notes that covers the
various sample code locations that firstdata has:

Cartweaver code

2014-09-23 Thread Michael Dinowitz

I was shown an example of a firstdata implementation that was outsourced to
India and a few things grabbed my attention right away. The first was that
the hmac.cfc template that they sent was an exact copy of the code by Tim
McCarthy sans comments. The second was that the firstdata processing
template was named cw-auth-firstdata.cfm. That pattern matches the
templates used by Cartweaver for their processing code.
The last version of Cartweaver that I have in my archives is 2.0 so I was
hoping that someone with Cartweaver 4.0 could look at the auth templates
that it is using and see if the following code snippet is copied/modified
from it:
cfsilent
!--setting you need to chnage those value--
cfset settings.GatewayID = gatewayid
cfset settings.KeyID = keyid
cfset settings.hmackey = Hmack
cfset settings.GatewayPass = password
cfset settings.authurl = '
https://api.demo.globalgatewaye4.firstdata.com/transaction/v12'
!--setting--


!--senthil--

cfset expDate = tdata.cardexpm Right(tdata.cardexpy,
2)
   cfset contentType = application/json; charset=UTF-
   cfset FDuri = /transaction/v12

CFSET jsonReq = '{gateway_id:#settings.GatewayID#,
transaction_type:00, cardholder_name:#tdata.cardname#,
cc_number:#tdata.cardnumber#, amount:#tdata.paymentamount#,
password:#settings.GatewayPass#, cc_expiry:#expDate#,
reference_no:#tdata.orderid#}'

Nothing urgent or super important. I just want to see how far the
outsourced code had been copied from other places without attribution.

Thanks

Re: Cartweaver code

2014-09-23 Thread Michael Dinowitz

I know that there is a cw-auth-authorize.net.cfm so I assumed a small name
change on that or another template like it for a 'new'
cw-auth-firstdata.cfm. I've emailed Cartweaver and I'm hoping they'll send
me a copy of their auth code templates so I can do some more in-depth
comparisons. Again, not important but once I sink my teeth into something I
want to follow it to the end. :)

Thanks

According to zendesk, the file with the ColdFusion sample code does not
exist. I'm using php code as my sample for a ColdFusion app. Not the way
things should be.

If anyone has any First Data Global Gateway sample code that they want to
send to First Data and/or Adobe, please do so. It's embarrassing that
ColdFusion is not represented with this or any API. :(

yes, I'll submit some sample code but it'll have to wait till after the

(Semi-OT) - site sucker app

2014-08-06 Thread Michael Dinowitz

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good application that can be pointed to
an url and then download every page under that url. For example, if I want
to view all of the Google maps documents offline I can point the app at
https://developers.google.com/maps and it'll get me all of the faq, the api
docs, etc.

Yes, I can write such an app in CF and have a dozen times over. I also know
that if I start rewriting my old apps in any way, shape, or form, I run the
risk of getting pulled into a black hole of optimization and organization
and lose track of the real project. Save me from myself and point me to
what you would use. ;)

Query columns shifting

2014-07-29 Thread Michael Christensen

Hey guys

Got at bit of a weird thing going on in my code...

Sometimes when I make a certain query, the query will return from the DB 
without error, but when I try to use the query I find that the columns have 
shifted, so that in a column where I would expect a date there is now a 
string.

Has this ever happened to any of you?

Package routing and maps

2014-07-25 Thread Michael Dinowitz

I'm doing some research on routing packages using something like Google
maps. Basically, if you take a starting location, give it a few waypoints,
and an ending location, the program/api will calculate the best route for
it. The classic traveling salesman problem.
I've found a few examples but I was wondering if anyone has such a system
in place with CF and what they are using? What pitfalls have they found?
What spurred the choice for one system over another?

Thanks
Michael

Re: Regex help maybe

2014-07-21 Thread Michael Dinowitz

X{10,20} means that X should exist at least 10 times but no more than 20

[0-9] means any single number from 0 till 9
[0-9]{3} means any 3 numbers of 0-9 one after the other
[~!@#$%^*()_+] means a single character from the set of characters defined
between the brackets

Now do you want 3 numbers one after the other or that there should be 3
numbers in the string total? Can you send a few example strings or talk
about how it will be used? Also, do you want a single regex to do it all or
can be it be in 2-3 steps (easiest)?

you can get to it 
via http, then use a cfhttp tag.  If you can get to it via FTP use a cfftp 
tag.  You may need to alter your method for determining if the file exists 
though.  If 
you need to use HTTP or FTP, then you can always try to get the file and if you 
get an error, handle it appropriately (ex. the file isn't there, etc).

Subject: Re: how to check if a remote file exists

 
 if you have direct access tot he server with the file then you would
 use
 CFFILE to copy it.
 If the file is only accessible over the web, then you can use CFHTTP to
 grab the file content and save to your local server. You will of course
 not
 get the raw file, only what is displayed in a browser.

  cfelse

   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.

Re: Strange Error

2014-03-26 Thread Michael van Leest

Might there be a redirect triggered somewhere in your application.cfc?
Sounds to me there is some sort of redirect is going on.


2014-03-26 17:26 GMT+01:00 Donnie Carvajal donnie.carva...@transformyx.com
:


 I have a ColdFusion template that is used for a form action using post
 method.  The page loads correctly except for my confirmation output and
 displays POST as the CGI.request_method and displays all of the Form fields
 in the debug info and displays all of the queries that are supposed to run;
 however, an error is thrown in the CF error logs indicating that a form
 field is missing.  I turned on my site wide error handler and the email
 message I get for the error is showing the page loaded via GET and there
 are no Form fields.

 Has anyone ever experienced this before?

 One more oddity that may help solve this, there is a blank template in the
 execution time table and by blank I mean there is nothing in the template
 column for this entry, but it does indicate the count=1 and the total time
 also has a value.

 Thanks,

 Donnie

The docs in the railo admin are updated with the specific railo additions.
In the wiki is stated which functions are not supported from CF9/10 or have
differences in use/outcome.

Also if there is a function missing certain arguments/options in Railo from
the CF version, a simple bug report and mailinglist post will get that
fixed very quickly.


2014-03-18 20:51 GMT+01:00 :

 I could work using the CF docs, but if there is the slightest difference,
 plus or minus, I need to be easily aware of it.
 It is so important in my mind that I finaly prefered to buy the CF 9
 server.

Slightly OT; Parsing DMARC reports

2014-03-13 Thread Michael Muller

Hey all,

Anyone here try to tackle translating DMARC reports into something readable? I 
know it's easy enough to convert the XML files into a structure, which could 
then be walked and stored. I was just curious if anyone had tried it.

I'm using dmarcian.com and though their reports are nice, there are several 
aspects that are lacking. I'm thinking of building an app for myself that could 
email me human reports on a per-domain basis...

1. Receive the email
2. Grab the attached zip file and explode
3. Open the contained XML file
4. Convert the XML file to a structure
5. Loop through and DB any fails
6. Email a fail report showing record if there are any fails

... or something like that.

Mik

Re: Site hanging randomly.

2014-03-13 Thread Michael van Leest

Is the server responsive when CF hangs? Or is it a bit slow/unresponsive as
well?
I had some serious crash issues with CF9 64 bit a few years back and
switched over to railo after trying to debug it for weeks without result.

Make sure to check the windows logs if there are any weird events before CF
hangs. My problem was mainly with JVM GC not doing its work properly and
eventually kill CF.
You could try to upgrade your JVM to a newer version that is officially
supported, but not sure if that will help your issue (trialerror).

Good luck!

 So, here's a tricky one. I have a server that hangs seemingly randomly
 but around once a day.

 Windows Server 2008, IIS, ColdFusion 9.

 It will either return a 503 or the browser will just keep spinning and
 never return anything.

 When I go in to restart it (with a batch file) sometimes the ColdFusion

 sometimes the W3SVC service takes a long time.

 Where do I start diagnosing this? How can I find out what's hanging?

Re: Site hanging randomly.

That does sounds like a possible cause.
Do you have long running code with multiple queries or some sort of heavy
reporting query of some sort?
Network interruptions? Latency?
Do you always have the CF monitor running? If so, try to turn off all the
monitoring as that was buggy in CF9 if I remember correctly (JVM killer).

Just naming a few options to think of. Good luck.

CF, SmarterMail, and DKIM

2014-03-05 Thread Michael Muller

Hey all,

I am using SmarterMail to deliver my email from CF. However, emails that are 
generated don't seem to have the DKIM signing attached. I notice that they do 
if I send an email from my email program (Eudora), which connects directly to 
SmarterMail when sending.

Currently, I have the Spool mail messages for delivery checkbox checked, as 
sometimes there are thousands of emails generated and I don't want the page to 
wait. Is this possibly why the DKIM signing is being bypassed?

Anyone else bump into this problem?

Thanks,

Mik

COM object problem on fresh CF 9 server

2014-02-22 Thread Patti, Michael

Hi,

I've just set up a new server running CF 9.0.2 standard.  I'm getting the 
following error message when trying to instantiate a COM object:

-
An exception occurred when instantiating a COM object.

The cause of this exception was that: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can not use 
native code: Initialisation failed.


I've registered the DLLs Coldfusion is unable to access using regsvr32, and 
Windows reported that it was able to register all these DLLs without problems.  

When I googled that error message, I found this post: 
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1019324, but, my server is 32-bit Windows 2003 
Server R2, with SP1.  The JVM is 1.7.0.51, and Coldfusion is 9.02 Standard 
edition.  So, this isn't a 32-bit/64-bit incompatibility issue, which makes it 
more of a mystery (for me, anyway).
 
I built this server according to the best practices outlined in the Coldfusion 
9 Lockdown guide, and I'm wondering whether it's having trouble instantiating 
the COM objects because the cfusion user doesn't have the proper permissions 
needed to do so.  The sites are being served up from a directory under a 
secondary drive (f:), but I've tried moving one of the sites to 
C:\InetPub\wwwroot to see if it would correct the problem, but it did not.  
 
Any help on this would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Michael

RE: COM object problem on fresh CF 9 server

2014-02-22 Thread Patti, Michael

I found the solution to this problem. The CF 9.0.2 install on this new server 
failed to write the java.library.path correctly in the jvm.config.  It was 
written like this:

java.library.path={application.home}/../lib

I had to change that to this:

java.library.path={application.home}/../lib,{application.home}/../jintegra/bin,{application.home}/../jintegra/bin/international,{application.home}/../lib/oosdk/classes/win

I discovered that this was the problem when I looked in the exception log file, 
which had this entry:

Error,jrpp-5,02/22/14,22:15:40,wizard,no ntvinv in java.library.path

Why CF 9.0.2 didn't write the java.library.path correct is beyond me; but 
hopefully this will help someone else out it they encounter the same problem.

Thanks,
Michael

cfform layout issues. cfinput autosuggest vs cfgrid

2014-02-19 Thread Michael Gueterman

I've got a form layout with a header on top that includes a cfinput using 
autosuggest, then below that a cflayout type=tab.  The drop down produced by 
the autosuggest normally appears fine unless the cflayoutarea contains a 
cfgrid.  In that case, the drop down seems to appear behind the cfgrid 
instead of in front of it (which makes it a bit hard to select an item!).  Any 
thoughts on getting the autosuggest list to always appear in front of the 
cfgrid?

Sample code:
cfform name=blah action=go_here method=post
 cfinput name=me type=text 
autosuggest=url:blahblah.cfm?stuff={cfautosuggestvalue} /
 cflayout type=tab name=blahTab
  cflayoutarea title=Bleck name=BlahInfo
   cfgrid name=blah1 format=applet query=blahQuery
cfgridcolumn name=blahcolumn1 header=yes_Blah /
   /cfgrid
  /cflayoutarea
 /cflayout
/cfform

*Note: Replace the cfgrid with something else like simply HTML and the 
autosuggest list appears over the cflayoutarea.  With the cfgrid in place, the 
autosuggest list appears truncated or behind the cfgrid.

TIA!

RE: Need help with decryption from C#

2013-11-05 Thread Patti, Michael

Thanks Paul, I hadn't considered diving into Java to construct the IVector, but 
that seems like a good approach, and produces a valid ByteArray.  You might be 
right about that chr(0) causing problems, though.  When I attempt to decrypt, 
Coldfusion is throwing this error:

An error occurred while trying to encrypt or decrypt your input string: 
Given final block not properly padded.

That's happening whether I set the Algorithm to just 'DESEDE' or to 
'DESEDE/ECB/PKCS5Padding'.  I'll keep plugging away, and thanks again for the 
pointer about the IVector construction.

Using CF's Decrypt(encrypted_string, key[, algorithm, encoding, IVorSalt,

You should be able to do something like this...

Note, this is off the top of my head for TripleDES and I've not tested it in 
the slightest. The only thing that really concerns me though is the chr(0) in 
the middle of the StringBuffer append sequence. You may have to experiment with 
how you build that ByteArray.

sb = createObject(java, java.lang.StringBuffer); sb.append(chr(27)); 
sb.append(chr(9)); sb.append(chr(45)); sb.append(chr(27)); sb.append(chr(0)); 
sb.append(chr(72)); sb.append(chr(171)); sb.append(chr(54));

IVector = sb.toString().getBytes();  // convert the StringBuffer to a ByteArray

outputString = Decrypt(inputString, Hash(Key, MD5), DESEDE, Base64, 
IVector);

Need help with decryption from C#

2013-11-02 Thread Patti, Michael

I've been tasked with decrypting 3-DES encrypted strings provided by a 
programmer who is using C#.  He provided me with a sample of how he performs 
decryption in C#, and I've been banging my head against the wall trying to 
figure out how to translate this into CF.  I've changed the details of the key 
he provided.


private string Key = N@5q;
private readonly byte[] IVector = new byte[8] { 27, 9, 45, 27, 0, 72, 171, 54 };

  private string Decrypt(string inputString)
  {
try
{
byte[] buffer = Convert.FromBase64String(inputString);
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider tripleDes = new 
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider();
MD5CryptoServiceProvider MD5 = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
tripleDes.Key = MD5.ComputeHash(ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Key));
tripleDes.IV = IVector;
ICryptoTransform ITransform = tripleDes.CreateDecryptor();
return 
Encoding.ASCII.GetString(ITransform.TransformFinalBlock(buffer, 0, 
buffer.Length));
}
catch (Exception ex)
{ return ; }

}


I've done encryption before, and have been able to successfully send the 
encrypted data to third parties for decryption; but I've never been on the 
other side of the transfer, and the initialization vector has me especially 
confused.  

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

I'd keep 'daynotes' with me when I move from computer to computer.
Currently it's all text files but I'd like to move it to a database that I

Derby? SQLite?

Re: Good jvm ram settings for 64 bit ColdFusion

Mark,

To start, the assignment of 6 gig to maxheap and 2 gig to maxperm is
working perfectly.
I'll expose my ignorance here and ask about that 80%. Is there some
inefficiency in jvm ram assignment in 64 bit in comparison to 32 bit? Is
there more overhead in ram assignment? Just wondering what's up with the
difference.

 Rule of thumb is 80% for equivelancy. In other words, a 1.8 gig 64bit is
 equal to a 1gig 32 bit. Heap. Or you can just multiply times 2 (which is
 usually what I do). So a 6 gig heap is roughly 3 or more times the size of
 your 32bit 1 gig heap. If your server is dedicated to CF I think your 6 gig
 heap is great. Takes most of the physical memory for CF and leaves 2gs for
 the OS, monitoring etc.

Re: Good jvm ram settings for 64 bit ColdFusion

2013-09-03 Thread Michael Dinowitz

In summary - More address space at the expense of longer addresses. No 4
gig memory cap but each gig is 'worth' slightly less.


On Tue, Sep 3, 2013 at 9:08 AM, Mark A Kruger mkru...@cfwebtools.comwrote:


 Michael,

 This is out of my head so forgive me if I am off on a factual point or two
 -
 but you will get the gist of it.

 In 32 bit addressing each memory address takes up 4 bytes (4 x 8  bits)
 but a 64 bit address space is wider (as in 8 x 8 bits).  So for example, if
 you store an integer - say 14 - on a 32 bit system, it will take 4 bytes to
 do it (   1110).  Of course you might think
 h... it could actually store that in a single byte - but being that
 draconian with storage would only slow the computer down. It needs lots of
 address spaces of uniform size. Think of a post office with dozens of
 P.O. Boxes - little cubbies where mail is placed. It would not make sense
 for them to resize each box for the volume of mail. They just accept the
 fact that some boxes have 1 letter and others may have 12 or 13.

 In a 64bit address space however the address spaces are wider (by another
 32
 bits). So that 14 is going to look like    
    1110 internally. The advantage of 64bit is
 NOT in speed of addressability. They are generally faster because they are
 new gen systems with faster FSB, shorter electron paths, better L2/3 caches
 etc.  The advantage is in total addressability. The 32 bit system is
 limited
 to 2 to the 32nd power (4.2 billion add addresses) whereas 64 bit systems
 have 2 to the 64th power addresses.  The width means exponentially more
 addresses available as PO boxes for bits of things that need storing.
 When
 I say exponential I mean something like 16 exabytes of possible addressable
 space.

 So the good news is that a 64 bit system can utilize an unlimited amount of
 memory (unlimited in any practical sense at this point in our computer
 evolution). The bad news is, it takes more room to store equivalent data.

Re: Good jvm ram settings for 64 bit ColdFusion

2013-09-03 Thread Michael Dinowitz

 Also Michael - 2gb perm size seams rather large generally speaking (unless
 you have tons of cfm/cfc files). Further if your server has 8GB of ram, and
 you are setting 6GB max heap and 2GB max perm size then you are not leaving
 any room for the OS to operate when things get full.

I thought that the perm size was a subset of the heap. From what you say
above, the perm is in addition to the heap.

I'm going to run some calculations to get a good idea of what the permsize
should be for the app and readjust.



 The perm size does not usually change much once the application is fully
 loaded and all possible logic routes have executed at least once (unless
 you have some sort of dynamic cfml generating going on) so you should be
 able to see how much you are actually using at runtime by running this
 code: http://www.petefreitag.com/item/821.cfm

I just upgraded an FTP install to the latest serv-u and every time I try to
export, edit, or do anything with a user, I get a grey block over the

some way to access the info. A few of the accounts are used with cfftp, but
others are humans - and who knows if they remember their passwords. :)

I'm doing a contract at the NYC Human Resources Administration at the

On a positive note, I've got a number of nice regex patterns to clean up

CF9 License Resale Value

2013-07-21 Thread Michael David

Hello...

I have a handful on CF9 licenses to get rid of. I also have one CF9 
upgrade serial along with the original serial from the previous version. 
These are NOT academic licenses, and I am the original purchaser on all.

What are these things worth?

Installing / compiling / signing JUpload

2013-07-10 Thread Michael Muller

Hey all,

I've been using JumpLoader as my multi-file uploader for a while and want to 
switch to JUpload as it offers the ability to resize the image beforehand 
without encapsulating the resized image(s) in a zip file. However, the 
documentation is a bit klunky, and some of the links to where I'd download a 
compiler aren't working. And I've never done this before, so, does anyone have 
a favorite tutorial on the subject, or have some time to help me work through 
this over the phone? I'd be happy to spend a few bucks for the 1/2 hour I 
imagine this might take.

Adobe help viewer for ColdFusion broken

2013-07-02 Thread Michael Dinowitz

There was an air application that allowed me to view the ColdFusion docs,
search them locally, etc. I tried to open it today and it failed. I updated
air and the app and now I get the Adobe Help Manager which says it has the
docs but gives me no way to view them.

Does anyone know of a fix to allow me to view the various CF docs locally
without having to use a PDF? Can the CF docs be added to the Adobe Help
Viewer 2? (a different app)

If there is no fix then can someone explain to me what the Adobe Help
Manager actually does/is used for? If it's junk I'll delete it.

Thanks

Re: Adobe help viewer for ColdFusion broken

2013-07-02 Thread Michael Dinowitz

The older help viewer gave more than just standard docs and I used it while
using builder.

As for Homesite, it still loads and runs faster than CF Builder and has
more features than any of the 'super' notepads like sublime text. I use CF
Builder all the time but when I want to hack a fast parser or the like,
Homesite is just more efficient for me.

There is a conspicuous absence of CFBuilder amongst the applications that are

Seems absurd that we'd have to pay extra for just this one product, when almost 
every other tool Adobe makes is offered with the subscription.

FlashBuilder Premium is included, but not CFBuilder. Seriously?  Talk about

RE: Adobe no longer supports ColdFusion??? Really?

2013-06-18 Thread Patti, Michael

2: I have to disagree with the assertion that CF Builder missing from CC 
downloads means anything ominous. ColdFusion is not a CC service, so it 
makes no sense to include CF Builder. Now, if you want to discuss the pros 
and cons of including CF as a CC service, that'll be a great discussion to 
have. But CF Builder without CF itself is kinda useless.

--- Ben

There are something like 23 apps included with the Creative Cloud subscription, 
and it seems like Adobe is adding more all the time.  I use three of these on a 
semi-regular basis (DW, Flash Pro, and Photoshop), and have no use for most of 
the others; but they're there for me if I need them.   Is the dividing line 
between the Creative Cloud and everything else the fact that none of those 
programs rely on a server-side programming language?  If so, that seems pretty 
arbitrary, since everything a web developer does depends on a server-side 
*something*. Nothing we do in DW really 'works' without a web server (at a 
minimum).   Plus, if Adobe wants to keep developers using CF, what's the 
downside in including CFBuilder as part of the subscription?  If DW CC drops 
support for Coldfusion, but keeps it for PHP (and I'm assuming it does), isn't 
that just undercutting Adobe's own position?  

I happen to like CFBuilder, and use the free version on a regular basis, but a 
colleague (and a very talented CF Developer) prefers DW, even though I've tried 
to convince her to use CFBuilder.   Up 'til now, DW has worked for her, as it 
has for many other CF developers.  Why cut those people off by forcing them to 
either a) Pony up $299 for a product they don't particularly like, b) look 
elsewhere (like Sublime or Brackets, as Ray suggested), or c) Hand-code without 
the benefit of a modern IDE.  

Plus, if you get enough people to download CFBuilder out of sheer curiosity and 
then fall in love with CF, it can only help the community (and Adobe).

So, why not include CFBuilder as part of the Creative Cloud suite?

Issue with accessing session vars from CFCs after upgrading to CF 10

2013-05-25 Thread Michael Sale

Having a weird issue since upgrading from CF 901 to 10.  I'm calling CFC files 
over HTTP (using Ext/Sencha) and it seems when I do, I lose the session scope 
alltogether.  The CFCs are set to allow remote access and were all working just 
fine before the upgrade.  I know the session scope is there, because if I run a 
standard CFM on the server, all is well and I can dump the session, and work 
with session vars.  I'm pulling my hair out and was wondering if anyone has any 
ideas.  Here are the install stats: CF 10 Enterprise running on Linux, web 
server is iPlanet/Oracle version 7.0.17, and we are clustering.  Thanks!

RE: Slow-starting jrun service

2013-05-10 Thread Patti, Michael

Thanks Byron, Dave, Russ, and Gonzo for your helpful suggestions.  

There were a massive number of files on C:/windows/temp (1.6 GB worth), and I 
was only able to begin to delete them by running del C:\windows\temp\*.* from 
the command prompt.  Right now, there are still around 200 mb of files in that 
folder, but it's steadily decreasing.

I also un-checked Save class files under server settings  Caching and 
updated my JVM settings to:

# Arguments to VM
java.args=-server -Xmx1024m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSize=256m 
-XX:+AggressiveHeap -XX:+UseParallelGC 
-Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/../ 
-Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/../lib 
-Dcoldfusion.classPath={application.home}/../lib/updates,{application.home}/../lib,{application.home}/../gateway/lib/,{application.home}/../wwwroot/WEB-INF/flex/jars,{application.home}/../wwwroot/WEB-INF/cfform/jars

That combination of things definitely helped, and Coldfusion was able to start 
up in 2 minutes rather than 30.  

I suspect that the windows temp files were the culprit, and I'm going to work 
with my hosting provider to figure out why there were so many files in the that 
directory; but your advice has saved me hours of work.  

Eternally grateful,
Michael

You could try starting cf from the command line, may give you a bit more 
insight as to where things are lagging at startup.

Kill anything else running like anti virus, and etc that may be getting in the 
way.

Check c:/windows/temp, had a machine with obscene number of files in there one 
time and services would start really really slow.

If fusion reactor is running on there or anything similar, maybe disable that 
for now.

RE: Slow-starting jrun service

2013-05-09 Thread Patti, Michael

Here's what I have under Coldfusion9\runtime\bin\jvm.config on the server that 
is having problems:

# Arguments to VM
java.args=-server  -Xmx1024m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSize=192m 
-XX:+UseParallelGC -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/../ 
-Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/../lib

Here's those arguments for one of the two servers that is NOT having problems:

# Arguments to VM
java.args=-server  -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false 
-XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:+UseParallelGC 
-Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/../

The main difference is that I don't have -xms specified on that server, but 
even when I had that set to -Xms1024m, it was still having problems starting 
up.  

Note that both of these servers have 4GB of RAM.

 On two of these servers (one production and one staging) whenever I 
 have to restart Coldfusion, it usually takes no more than a minute to

RE: Slow-starting jrun service

One other thing I am noticing in the archived log files for the server that's 
having problems.  Lots of entries that look like this:

Here's what I have under Coldfusion9\runtime\bin\jvm.config on the server that 
is having problems:

# Arguments to VM
java.args=-server  -Xmx1024m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSize=192m 
-XX:+UseParallelGC -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/../ 
-Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/../lib

Here's those arguments for one of the two servers that is NOT having problems:

# Arguments to VM
java.args=-server  -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false 
-XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:+UseParallelGC 
-Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/../

The main difference is that I don't have -xms specified on that server, but 
even when I had that set to -Xms1024m, it was still having problems starting 
up.  

Note that both of these servers have 4GB of RAM.

CF web services and mobile security

2013-05-06 Thread Michael Sanchez

I need to create 2 things: 
- a mobile application: I need it to keep logged for an X period of time or 
forever..
- a set of web services that manage user creation, authentication and 
authorization for the mobile app, in CF. 


I am new to Adobe CF.

I was looking may be for some WS-Security approach using tokens (STS), but not 
sure if it is the right way, or how to start. Currently, I am trying to 
understand the Axis2 Rampart extension: 
http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/rampart/  

Any advice on this topic?

eclipse 422 with cfeclipse vs coldfusion builder express

2013-04-23 Thread Michael Dinowitz

I'm still weighing everything for a move to the 64 bit version of eclipse
on a clients remote box. I can go with eclipse 4.2.2 running cfeclipse or
eclipse 3.7.2 running cfbuilder express (the free version).

From what I know, there is little difference between cfeclipse and
cfbuilder express which means the only real difference would be in the
version of eclipse I'd using. Any additional feedback from people 'in the
know'?

Thanks

Oh, and while I'm at it I may be moving from subversion to git.

Large amounts of CF email

2013-04-11 Thread Michael Muller

Hey all,

Ok, so I'm all set on the question of SPF etc. Here's another one.

I am taking on a client who has an existing CF application. It's one of those 
30%-off coupon things. They have a dedicated server right now that holds 
CF/SQL/SmarterMail all on one box. They send out a little over 100,000 emails a 
month.

My existing setup is two cloud-based servers at Enterhost:  CF/DNS on one, and 
SQL/SmarterMail/DNS on the other. I do not want to add the extra email burden 
to my system. I already send out about 50,000 emails a month from about 170 
websites, not including the POP personal / business emails of 75 of those 
clients.

The current concept is for me to get another server specifically for their 
email delivery, and to move their app to my CF machine and their database to my 
SQL machine.  With the extra email-only server I get SmarterMail, though I'm 
not sure that's the best tool for delivering large amounts of email from CF.

I saw that Russ Michaels mentioned sendgrid.net in a post a couple days ago 
about CFMAIL dropping some emails. This client knows that their needs are going 
to grow beyond the 300,000 ($200/mo) limit in a short amount of time, and so 
that will turn into an expensive solution eventually.

So, if I stick with the new cloud server just for this one client's email 
delivery... am I setting this up right?

1. Their app on my CF server with hard-coded SERVER (see 3. below) in all 
CFMAIL tags
2. Their DB on my SQL server
3. Their own SM server (see 1. above)

Is there a better email delivery option from CF, and if so how would you 
integrate the two onto the on box so the customer can also get their own email 
at their domain? I'm curious for my own needs as well.

Is there a better way to set up the boxes?

I know this sounds like fundamental stuff, but I'd love any opinions people may 
want to volunteer (including what are you crazy?!).

Thanks,

MM

(ot) Strict SPF

2013-04-10 Thread Michael Muller

Hey all,

I'm considering enforcing SPF / DMARC standards on my mail server, knowing that 
this will block not only most spam, but also some valid emails to my customers.

Has anyone here done the same thing? If so, what are your thoughts.  Did it 
create a ton of follow-up work for you with clients screaming that they're not 
getting emails, or was there a parade held in your honor?

Would spam disappear overnight if everyone did the same thing?

I know I also have a little work to do to make sure all my SPF records are 
correct, knowing that many customers cannot connect to my SMTP through their 
ISP (ie; some Comcast customers), and thus their outgoing emails would fail the 
SPF test. I sense a customer poll coming on...

Thanks,

Mik

ColdFusion Builder standalone vs. plugin

2013-04-08 Thread Michael Dinowitz

Is there any real operational differences between the two different 
implementations of CF Builder? Is there some feature in one but not the other? 
And to take the question a step further, if someone is running a non-licensed 
version of builder, will they find more features missing from one 
implementation of builder or the other?

In the past I installed builder as a plugin and almost none of the CF features 
would work. It's was an older version so I'm hoping that it is no longer the 
case (I probably messed up anyway).

Thanks for your insights and observations on this.

Michael

Memory Leak in CF10?

2013-03-26 Thread Michael Muller

I posted this to the Adobe forums as well. Totally perplexed.



I moved all my code from a Win2003S/CF8 box to a Win2008S/CF10 box and now am 
having issues where CF loads blank pages after a few hours of uptime.  I'm 
noticing that the coldfusion.exe service starts around 500mb of memory, and 
slowly moves up to about 780mb of memory. As it tops 700mb it begins loading 
blank pages which can be reloaded for intended content. Once it hit 770mb it 
loads ONLY blank pages, and the service can no longer be restarted. It must be 
killed by Task Manager.

This was never a problem before on CF8.

I have searched far and wide for a solution, but found only this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7788280/memory-leak-when-redeploying-application-in-tomcat

I'm not sure what code is causing the memory balloon, or even where to look for 
clues. None of the logs have anything in them other than the occasional missing 
file due to a bad offsite link, and plenty of query timed out errors due to 
CF Server crashing.

I'm now restarting CF every two hours.

Completely flummoxed at this point. Anyone have any ideas?

MM

 but failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. Threads are 
going to be renewed over time to try and avoid a probable memory leak.

I found this discussion about it:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7788280/memory-leak-when-redeploying-application-in-tomcat

Is this a new or existing memory leak in CF? 

Is there something I can do about this, code-wise?

Re: Source control in CF

2013-02-03 Thread Michael Christensen

Man oh man, seems like I've managed to dive headfirst into a bit of a hornets' 
nest here :)

I think many valid and interesting points have been raised in this thread.
While I will say, that I am still not a believer, I am certainly going to 
have a bit of a rethink about my position on some of the issues raised by you 
guys.

At all places where I have worked (all smallish companies), there have been 
dedicated people to do server setups and maintenance and there has also always 
been restrictions on what developers could install on their machine 
themselves.
(I don't know if this is a particular Danish or European way to do things - 
seems that things might be a bit different in the US)

Believe or not, in the about 10 year timespan I am referring to above, there 
has be no catastrophes as a result of peoples work being overwritten.

This does NOT mean, that I would advocate a shared resources (as I have already 
stated previously) - given a free choice between developing on shared resources 
and developing locally, I am quite sure I would tend towards the latter.

As for the points raised about how much a developer (junior or senior) should 
know about setting what type of servers up, I am clearly of a different opinion 
than some of the other participants.
While I can certainly see validity in some of the points made, I also tend to 
think, that some of these differences come down to religion or belief, 
while others come from me being used to one type of setup and others being used 
to another.

While I have only very limited CF experience in working with a setup where 
everyone develops locally, I have done quite a bit of this in C#.
Having worked with both types, I would contend that they each have their 
benefits and drawbacks.

I think that this thread has reached a point of terminal velocity and that I 
have taken away from what I can on these issues.

I will therefore bow out of this thread by saying, that I am very appreciative 
about the large volume of input and that I am even more appreciative about how 
you guys have made me reevaluate my position on some things.
I love when people can shake up things a bit, and I will most definitely take 
some of the things that have been discussed in this thread to heart.

So thanks you guys - some of your imparted wisdom will find its way into a 
brand new CF developer, starting on monday :)

Re: Source control in CF

2013-02-02 Thread Michael Christensen

Good tips about developers being able to run software under other licensing 
rules - I did not think that one through fully I can see now.

I personally disagree, respectfully of course, with the people who say, that 
developers should be able to maintain CF and web server, as well as set up 3rd 
party components etc. To me, that is like saying that any developer should be 
able to set up a database server, know how DNS functions etc.

While I would agree, that knowing some of these things could be beneficial for 
a developer from time to time, I feel that developers should be specialists who 
focus solely on developing - not on server maintenance.

I don't know if this might be a cultural difference (in terms of how things are 
done) - me being Danish personally - but in all places I've worked the last 10 
years, the IT department has done most of the configuration and maintenance of 
developer machines. Not that there is necessarily anything wrong with 
developers setting things up themselves, but I understand (from the company's 
perspective) how it can be beneficial to have these things centralized.

Following the previous inputs in this thread, I went digging in my old emails 
and it turns out (I had completely forgotten about this) that we did indeed 
talk about switching over from shared resources, to each developer running 
their own complete setup. The plans were eventually dropped, as it was deemed 
too expensive (in terms of lost productivity) and adding an additional layer of 
complexity in terms of maintenance.

This was back in 2007 and perhaps it is time to revisit this once more. You 
guys' passionate arguments for this approach has certainly given me some food 
for thought and I will take this up with my colleagues in the near future.

Re: Source control in CF

2013-02-02 Thread Michael Christensen

@Andrew

Most developers should know how to install ColdFusion, it is dead simple to
begin with, maintaining it well that is another story.

If your premise is that we are talking about developers who are running a setup 
where each person has a local CF server on his/her machine, then I would agree 
that it might very well be beneficial for developers to be able to diagnose and 
fix issues with their own server, without having to wait for the IT department.

Lost productivity is worse when all developers share and code off the same
server, whether you want to believe that or not. But like you said it was
5-6 years ago, so a revisit might be a good thing.

If you are talking from personal experience, having run both types of setups in 
parallel (either at the same time or at least under as similar conditions as 
possible, in terms of time, tasks, complexity etc) - then this is indeed 
valuable insight.

However, if I went to my CEO with such a broad and general claim, he would 
immediately demand that I back it up with hard evidence - which I would have a 
terrible time doing. Without concrete evidence, I don't know how I would lobby 
in favor of the company spending the time and money, in changing our current 
setup.

With that being said, if I was to setup up development from scratch tomorrow 
and I could choose either of the two setups (the current setup was already 
firmly in place when I joined the company in 2005) - I would probably also 
favor the setup where each developer runs his/her own server and can develop 
locally.

Re: Source control in CF

2013-02-02 Thread Michael Christensen

Michael, I've noticed you, and others, have mentioned server maintenance.
To be clear, I think there is a -far- difference between someone who is an
expert in Apache and IIS tuning and someone double clicking to install
Apache. I don't think developers should be fine tuning Apache, or DB
servers. But they *should* be able to run a visual installer and accept the
defaults. I run MySQL and SQL Server just fine. I don't consider myself
even close to being a DBA, but I can make a database and tables and that
should be good enough I'd say.


Raymond, I absolutely agree, that we must discern between developers being able 
to do simple point-and-click installs and configurations - and them been able 
to do deep-level server analysis and tuning.

And you are absolutely right, developers should know about databases and 
tables, and be able to create tables using the correct datatypes, relations, 
constraints etc.

But I also understand, why the IT department might impose restrictions as to 
who is able to do what (we cannot, for example, create new databases ourselves 
- only the IT department can do that). They are the ones who are ultimately 
held responsible for the performance, stability and security of the servers 
(not the code that we write) - and I understand that them imposing restrictions 
can aid in that.

But like I wrote in response to Andrew's comments - if I was to setup 
development anew tomorrow, I would probably also favor a setup where each 
developer can develop locally, without it interfering with other developers.

Re: Source control in CF

2013-02-02 Thread Michael Christensen

@Russ

I can certainly tell, that we have very different views as to which constitutes 
a quote-unquote developer.

In keeping with the automotive analogies, I feel that what Raymond is 
essentially saying, is that he would not hire you to drive a car, unless you 
were a mechanic.
I feel differently about this, as I would rather hire a chauffeur to drive me 
around than a mechanic - but this is my personal preference of course.

Would I expect my chauffeur to be able to diagnose a flat tire and change it? 
Absolutely.
Would I expect him to be able to diagnose and fix a problem in the engine 
management system? Absolutely not.

In the same way I personally feel, that although a developer should know (or be 
able to deduce) about potential security issues like the ones you describe, I 
would not expect him to know about all the internals of the server.

If nothing else, I think we can safely say, that Mr. Camden would not employee 
me, as I would much rather leave setting up servers and the likes, to those who 
specialize in precisely that :)

(oh and on a side note, I find it very interesing to learn about the obviously 
different views expressed in this thread - gives a man something to ponder)
