Dude, I need to win my wife over; get her to stop sleeping with all my friends.

You should write a ColdFusion component that wraps around the CFMail tag functionality and can send binary streams as attachments without writing them to disk.

How will that help?

It'll help me finish this project.

Do you ever think about anyone but your self?

I spent about 40 seconds in the shower this morning thinking about your wife.

@Dan,

Where do you think I got the idea? (for the CFC, not the nature of the comic). I have been wanting to take your code and wrap it up in custom tags or a CFC... but every time I look at it, it seems more complicated than I remembered :) Maybe when I have a good weekend to myself, I'll get it done.

Maintaining ColdFusion Sessions Across SMS Text Message Requests Without Cookies
Ben, sorry if I didn't make this clear. You can make it work like that if you want, just put <cfset session.foo = 1> (and <cfset application.foo = 1>) in your OnRequestStart() and it reve ... read »

@Todd, I have seen tidbits about the way Railo handles session. I can understand that it lazy-loads sessions, but I also think that I might make some things more complicated. For example, often tim ... read »

Maintaining ColdFusion Sessions Across SMS Text Message Requests Without Cookies
Ben, you can ramp up the security by turning on J2EE session which gives you a third set of numbers other than CFID/CFTOKEN. There's a reason why ACF put this in place (other than just session replic ... read »

Maintaining ColdFusion Sessions Across SMS Text Message Requests Without Cookies
Case in point, Ben, you may not be aware of this, but in Railo - OnApplicationStart() & OnSessionStart() act differently than in ACF. ACF does: OnApplicationStart (1st hit) OnSessionStart (1st and e ... read »

Maintaining ColdFusion Sessions Across SMS Text Message Requests Without Cookies
@Todd, That's understandable. I am not sure if this really leaves any more security holes than the fact that using old cookie-based CFID / CFTOKEN values will create a new session using the old CFI ... read »
