Re: re[4]: [ACFUG Discuss] showing image from network share..how to?

2008-05-14 Thread Howard Fore 
Huh. If you've got the IIS virtual directory implemented, why use cfcontent?
The virtual directory should make all the images accessible from the client
web browser.

Additionally, the code as you've shown is going to hit the CF server twice,
one to get img.cfm and then a second time to get img2.cfm. If you give the
URL that goes to the image instead of the page that fetches the image

Additionally, using the web accessible URL in the img src attribute will
reduce your request-response pairs by 1/3. As implemented here, you've got 3
request-response sequences:
request 1 - get img.cfm from IIS/CF
response 1 - return HTML for img.cfm to browser
request 2 - get img2.cfm from IIS/CF
request 3 - get testimage.jpg from \\servername\nameofshare
response 3 - return image to CF server
response 2 - return image to browser

If you use the web-accessible URL you get
request 1 - get img.cfm from IIS/CF
response 1 - return HTML for img.cfm to browser
request 2 - get testimage.jpg from IIS virtual directory for
\\servername\nameofshare
response 2 - return image to browser

Just a thought...

Hi,

img2.cfm has this code below, thats all...



Thanks for Gif vs jpg catch... I didnt notice that. I have type set as gif

IE. I will change it now that I know.

Ajas.

In your production code are you matching the type attribute to the actual
file type? In your example here you are telling the browser that the file it
is about to receive is a GIF but then you actually give it a JPEG. As the
configuration of what this affects is in the browser you can't actually know
if it will matter or not but I think it would be better to err on the side
of caution.

Re: re[4]: [ACFUG Discuss] showing image from network share..how to?

2008-05-13 Thread Ajas Mohammed 
Hi,

Sorry for the delay in my response. I was busy fixing things.

Mischa --> thanks for the browse suggestion in IIS. I kind of used that to
solve this problem. The admin had just entered username for the virtual
directory in connect as dialog box. So I entered the password as well and it
works fine now.

Finally, about my original solution not working for you Mischa, I am using
the same FF version 2.0.0.14 and it worked. The solution which worked for me
is the one where I use  code. Let me know if you still
have problems in FF.

Douglas thanks for the suggestion. I didnt check it but a very good point to
remember about IIS should run under a domain acccount.

*Acccepted Solutions & Important Points to remember:*

1. instead of cfincluding the img.cfm, do a





2. Use browse feature in IIS to see if you can view the file/image to narrow
out CF/Browser issue.

3. IIS should run under a domain acccount

4. Use CFContent  

Thank you everyone.

Ajas.

yeah, to point IIS to a share, IIS needs to run under a domain account that
has access to the share.
