SSL and CFContent 'Problem'
A web-app I inherited generates pdf's on the fly and delivers them to the browser.The application contains reasonably robust security checking within the application.cfm template. However, seeing that the final pdf's were presented via a parent.location.href="" statement, blatantly displayed in the location bar, I felt this to be a serious security lapse - it would be easy to bookmark the final pdf or possibly even guess other pdf names. I reworked the app, removing web access from the pdf directory and using a cfcontent tag to deliver the pdf, believing this increased security, by incorporating the application.cfm security framework and it works fine. The client decided to deploy SSL on the site and now, as the pdf is delivered, the user is always greeted with the dialog 'This page contains both secure and insecure content.Do you wish to display the insecure content?'The client does not want to see this message. Near as I can tell, this message is completely bogus in this context - still, the only way I have found to remove it is to revert to the former *insecure* code. The app is running on NT and CF4.5 with little hopes of an upgrade soon. I've seen a few postings here and there about similar problems.The ENTIRE site uses SSL. Is this a known bug?Any work-arounds?I've tried various hacks with cfheader, cffile and cfoutput to no avail.Suggestions, please! Thanks in advance.

Obscure CFContent Problem
I am using cfcontent to throw documents to the browser from a non-web accessible directory. I am using cfheader as shown below to tell the browser what type of file it is. So, it knows the file being downloaded is test.doc file instead of index.cfm. cfheader name=content-disposition value=inline; filename=#attributes.filename# All of this works for just about any file type except for the .dwf file format. It is an Autocad file that stands for design web format. It allows customers to view the drawings wiith a free Autocad program (Autodesk Express Viewer). If the .dwf file is in the web directory, internet explorer opens it up properly. If I try to open it with cfcontent, internet explorer displays a blank screen. I'm assuming that this is because the Autodesk Express viewer disregards the header content-disposition. Does any one have any idea on this?

RE: CFContent problem - need urgent help
Shawn, I had this problem too. What Dave said is right -- it IS a permissions problem. He led me to this solution a couple of months ago: I have a PDFS directory that is not in the web root for a certain web application. I serve the PDF files to the user via cfcontent ... The directory that contains these files needs to be accessible to the IUSR_MACHINENAME account with READ rights only (for security reasons) for cfcontent to work properly. If the files you are serving are available through a web link, then you don't need to change any permissions (not your case most likely) since the web accessible content is already running under the IUSR context.

We had the security patches for the Nimda worm applied today, and have since re-run the service packs for NT, IIS, and CF 4.5 (the server is CF 4.52, on an NT 4 box). Examining our code shows that it is most definently the CFCONTENT tag causing the problems. If we comment it out, and have our debugging code running, all the debugging code executes just fine, and indicates normal operation. Then the CFContent tag is executed, and it dies. I'm sure this is a server issue, and not a code issue (code was not changed prior to the problems occuring). Any help/suggestions? I'm checking the forums and web for hints now. We'd like to avoid rebuilding the server if we can. ~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
CFContent problem - need urgent help
We have a site that uses the CFContent tag for downloading files to the user. We ran into problems with it today where it is giving us blank/empty files. If we check the physical file, everything is fine. Funny thing is that this is not happening for ALL files, just most. Some files are behaving normally.

CFCONTENT Problem
I'm sure this problem has been addressed before, but here it is: I'm trying to make a file available for download through CFCONTENT. The cfm page send.cfm looks like this:: cfcontent type=unknown file=c:\archive\file.mp3 deletefile=No The problem is, instead of sending that file, it sends the right file but it names it send.cfm instead of the actual file name. Any idea how to resolve this? Thanks, Rich ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Weird CFCONTENT problem with WinProxy
Hi Folks, Does anyone know of any issues with using CFCONTENT to display images for clients browsing through WINproxy? I am using CFCONTENT to display .gif files (banner ads). It works fine when I am not behind a WinProxy server, but when I am the images just don't display. I have even tried using the same machine with and without WinProxy...it always works fine when WinProxy is not involved. We've tried clearing caches, etc...but haven't had any success. Thanks for any ideas, Eron Here is the CFCONTENT statement (in a file called banner_get_for_display.cfm): CFCONTENT TYPE="image/gif" FILE="#actual_location#\#IMAGE_TO_DISPLAY#" Here is how I call it when I am displaying a banner: IMG SRC="http://www.myserver.com/banner_get_for_display.cfm?campaign_id=3" -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
CFContent Problem.........
When I try to use CFContent to serve up an install program from an FTP directory through a web browser. If I just give an anchor to the URL, it works fine. However, the project manager wants the option of starting the file download via HTTP when the user goes to a particular page. The file is in a folder accessible to the webserver, the user IUSR_MACHINENAME (changed for security) has read access to the folder, and the server set up to allow CFCONTENT. However, when I try to access the file, I get "An error occurred while attempting to open the file. ... Windows NT error number 5" in the error message. It is only visible when I look at the RAW HTTP results. When it is opened in the web browser, this error isn't visible. I tried to do a NET HELPMSG ERRORNUMBER 5 in the command prompt, but the results were absolutely useless. If anyone can help, I would be appreciative.

RE: CFCONTENT problem
You should also make sure the mime type is setup on the server. You don't have to configure the server if CF is returning the MIME type in the CFCONTENT tag.
