Re: Framework + Ajax?
I'm using Fusebox and Prototype for some AJAX style interfaces. I essentially built my own server-side piece to handle the JSON data. I use conditional layouts. One full layout for normal web pages, including all the nav, js and css. The other layout is bare bones and returns a JSON object. This object starts life as a CF structure that contains error data and the contents. I also use http status codes to communicate back to the browser. 500 is for an untrapped CF error and 403 is for a security violation. My client side JS captures this and handles is appropriately. My initial layout gets created using the full layout and the AJAX calls get the JSON data. I'm using a URL parameter to make the distinction, but you could easily detect the Prototype identifer in the header. I prefer the URL parameter, as it is much easier for troubleshooting. If I am getting errors I can paste the URL in the browser, minus the parameter, and instantly get the whole layout. This generally will show me the CF error in plain HTML. Examples: index.cfm?event=listContacts -- would return the contact list surrounded by your normal layout index.cfm?event=listContactsisAjax=1 -- would return the raw contact list as JSON, XML, or what ever. I don't use MachII, so this URL may not be sound, but I think you can see what I'm doing . Terry Jeff Chastain [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 06/22/2006 07:35:01 PM: How does a framework, say Mach-II (although I see the same issue with Model-Glue or FuseBox), work with Ajax? I can see easily how you could make a call via Ajax to index.cfm?event=listContacts which would return HTML, JSON, or whatever to rebuild a portion of the page. The question I am running into is how does the initial interface get built ... in other words all of the layout, header, navigation, etc.? There has got to be something basic here that I am missing, but I am just not seeing this.

RE: CF-based photo sharing app?
I've never seen a robust CF photo sharing app. My most recent adventure, since I'm using a VPS with Bluedragon and PHP, is to use DAlbum. It's PHP, but who cares, it works! It is totally file driven with no database. FTP the files to the server and run a php script to re-index. Pretty simple. A CF equivalent could easily be written, but who has the time... This could be an option if you have access to PHP. There are several more robust PHP examples as well.

I'd like to do something where I could upload via ftp or something and then have galleries created where people can view thumbnails, a large view and then have the option to download the full photo if they'd like so that they can get prints made. I was thinking it'd be cool to have multiple accounts as well so other people could do the same. It all makes sense in my head, just hasn't made it into CF yet. Let me know if you find anything good.

Re: CFHTTP / SSL and Secpay Payments
I don't program for payments, but cfhttp is communication between your server and secpay and has nothing to do with what is displayed on the users browser. If you are accepting CC information, then your web server and forms should be secured, in which case you would see the appropriate lock icon in your browser.

Re: CFFile copy, bigtime permissions issue..
I haven't had to try this with CF, but with SQL Server, we use Domain Accounts to run all the services and perform similar file copy functions. You can then grant the Domain account the appropriate permissions on all the servers.

URLEncodedFormat() escapes the ampersand to %26 so the URL would be test1%261%2Edoc. I've googled around and the consensus is that %26 should work, but it doesn't.

RE: ampersand in file name - SOLUTION
Well... I figured it out. I wasn't going crazy, but the URLScan Tool was sure trying! URLScan is installed on our web servers, which is blocking the requests with the escaped ampersand. It simply returns a 404 error, but shows rejected-by-urlscan in the IIS logs. My solution will probably be to restrict special characters in uploaded file names.

I have a number of questions: 1) Is SSL (128-bit) secure enough for the upload/download/viewing of these documents? 2) Depending on #1, would you store the docs in the SQL Server 2000 database as image data type or on the file system with metadata and pointers to the files in a database table? Please explain your opinion. 3) The client would like to be able to view several documents in a browser at the same time, possibly all docs related to a case, so that he/she can scroll through everything w/o having to open one doc at a time. Is this possible? Are there COTS products out there that you recommend? 4) The client would also like to search the documents. I've assumed that any scanned documents would have to be converted to PDF using OCR in order to be searchable using Verity (using the file system approach). Is that correct? Is Adobe's OCR product worthwhile? Are there other COTS products that are better?

Jacob, That was me, and I did not use the word fanatic. I was responding to someone who declared themselves a linux snob. I was only speaking from personal experience. There are 6 developers here and we use a lot of technologies. No one has anything bad to say about Linux and we use it for specific purposes. So, from my perspective it's true. Windows folks are less prone to sling mud on Linux than Linux on Windows. My point (wich I did not explain very well), is that this has more to do with the power differential than the merits of the OS. Please allow me to indulge in a little analogy -- In sociological terms when a large power differential exists between 2 groups, it unites the minority group or entity under a banner of a common enemy and necessitates a higher level of loyalty. That may be what is happening here. A Windows user, being a part of the establishment power, can live without Linux and it doesn't appreciably affect his life. He can dabble in Linux Culture and spend time in the Linux neighborhood. He can choose to engage Linux users, or he can pretend they don't exist. Either way his life isn't affected to a great degree. He even has the luxury of saying some of my best friends are Linux Users :) Meanwhile a Linux user can't get away from Windows no matter how hard they try. The people they are forced to work for use windows. Developers writing applications on Linux must first make sure they work for windows users. Files come in windows formats, applications are released on windows and ported to Linux as an afterthought. They see the windows OS in power terms - a corrupt institution based on a poor operating system that magically took away power rightly belonging to the peoples while Linux has come (in the words of George Hamilton in Zorro the gay blade) to defend the defensless, and defeat the feetless. So my point was that windows users, being in a position of power, can take it or leave it without getting up in arms about it - while Linux folks feel like it is necessary to fight every battle in order to make any headway. Now please understand the analogy only works to a point. There is no moral quality to Linux - no high road. It's just an operating system for gosh sakes :) So I'm not saying that Linus Torvalis is the modern day equivelent of Martin Luther King. I'm only pointing out that the idea of a power differential - when the margin is great enough - has a predictable effect, as I think it does in this case. -Mk -Original Message- From: Munson, Jacob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 8:39 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Big SQL security hole at Crystaltech?
