Re: Reading .TXT files as CF files
Hi Brian, You can have CF process any file ending you want you just have to register it in IIS (if you are using IIS) so that IIS passes the files ending with the type you specify off to the CF server. On my server its C:\ColdFusion8\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun.dll Its in IIS under websites, properties, then I think its root folder, configuration, then on the first tab. I'm on a German machine here so can't recall at the moment what it is in English. If you scroll down on this list you will see that cfc, cfm, cfml, cfr, and cfswf are all registered to the same jrun.dll, you could just add your ..rubbish, or . lfc extensions to the list and bobs your uncle -- Gary Gilbert http://www.garyrgilbert.com/blog ~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:292756 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: Reading .TXT files as CF files
Back when I was doing Corporate Support with a regional ISP (4.5 days) we used to do this with .inc files (which were included via cfinclude) within a home rolled CMS. We also did it with an Article manager for an online magazine using .art file extensions. We were on IIS at the time, so it was a matter of telling IIS that the CF server was to parse files with those extensions. I imagine it would be the same on Apache in the config.

Re: Reading .TXT files as CF files
Not sure I would try it with a standard file type like .txt or .ini though. That could create some confusion... The only confusion could be when a .txt file contains CF tags that should not be executed, very unlikely. Otherwise, the txt file will be just passed to the client transparently. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

Not only do you have to tell IIS to send it to JRun, you also have to tell JRun to send it to the CfmServlet (or the FileServlet, or ...). That is why you need the aditional mapping in web.xml. Not sure I would try it with a standard file type like .txt or .ini though. That could create some confusion... I typically have a dozen or so extra mappings: .log, .svn, .vss, .ini, ..properties, /CFIDE/adminapi etc. But I have them all mapped to the CFForbiddenServlet and don't really care about confusion.

That is why you need the aditional mapping in web.xml. IMHO, this is what is going wrong with CF since CFMX. I mean, the main advantage of CF over ASP, JSP or even PHP was SIMPLICITY. The more we go, the more it is getting complicated. There are too many options that one has to patch in obscure and undocumented xml files. Why aren't these options settable from the Administrator? -- ___ REUSE CODE!
