Re: Measuring bandwidth used per user
I need to measure bandwidth used because this is how I charge. Uploading is fine to measure, but is it possible to measure how many times an attachment was successfully accessed (either opened in browser or downloaded)? I would advise parsing the web server logs for this information for two reasons: 1) It will be more accurate and give you exact byte counts for the files that were accessed. 2) It will not tie up ColdFusion threads as using CFCONTENT would to serve them up. If you have several people downloading large files at once over relatively slow connections there is a chance that all of the available CF threads could be ties up and the site would appear to become unresponsive to others. -Justin Cool, Justin is this possible from client side, I do not own the server. (Some sample code will save me days of homework.) Is this also possible for measuring bandwidth from a cfmail execution.(Faced with same predicament). If you could provide the code , I'll give 5points of my revenue. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: Measuring bandwidth used per user
Justin is this possible from client side, I do not own the server. If you wanted to parse the web server logs you would need access to the files on the server and they could be read and parsed using CFFILE. Get with your hosting company to see if they can get you access to that information. Is this also possible for measuring bandwidth from a cfmail execution.(Faced with same predicament). Unfortunately not, but you could use CFDIRECTORY to get the file size of the file you're sending before you call the CFMAIL tag and log it somewhere for tracking purposes. CFMAIL sends the message via SMTP so it wouldn't be in the web server logs. -Justin ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Measuring bandwidth used per user
Greetings everybody. I have a website that allows people to upload and access attachments. Naturally they need to access these once uploaded. I need to measure bandwidth used because this is how I charge. Uploading is fine to measure, but is it possible to measure how many times an attachment was succesfully accessed (either opened in browser or downloaded)?

RE: Measuring bandwidth used per user
is it possible to measure how many times an attachment was succesfully accessed (either opened in browser or downloaded)? If you serve up the files via a .cfm template and cfcontent, you can log every time they download something. That won't detect if they cancel the download though. ~Brad ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
