• The First Cookie Wins When Conflicting Cookie Names Are Used With Different Settings In Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61

  Posted on Sep 13, 2020 at 6:57 PM

  @All, A quick follow-up post to see if I could still access all of the original cookies even if the cookie scope only shows me the first one sent over the wire: https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3893-accessing-cookies-with-the-same-name-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-6-61.htm The getHttpRequestDa... read more »

• The First Cookie Wins When Conflicting Cookie Names Are Used With Different Settings In Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61

  Posted on Sep 13, 2020 at 9:33 AM

  @Zac, Oh, interesting. I'm not entirely sure this would address our particular issue at work since we were only setting a single cookie on any given request; but, we had previously set other cookies with the same name (but with different settings).... read more »

• Sprint Name Generator In Angular 9.1.3

  Posted on Sep 12, 2020 at 6:17 AM

  @All I moved this to a Netlify App so that I could evolve it independently of this blog post: URL : https://sprint-names.netlify.app/ Git repo : https://github.com/bennadel/Sprint-Name-Generator... read more »

• Temporary Upload Files Are Duplicated And Persisted When A Request Uses CFThread In Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61

  Posted on Sep 10, 2020 at 6:09 AM

  @All, I've written a follow-up post with the details about how I've dealt with this problem: https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3891-deleting-temporary-upload-files-in-our-k8-operational-readiness-probe-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-6-61.htm Essentially, we are hooking into our Kubernetes (K8) readiness... read more »

• Temporary Upload Files Are Duplicated And Persisted When A Request Uses CFThread In Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61

  @Charles, Since I was / am still investigating, I was hesitant to put in a try/catch for each file since I sort of wanted it to blow-up and then log the error. This way, I wouldn't start dumping thousands of errors in my logs (one per file) if something went catastrophically wrong) :D Th... read more »

  @All, Ok, so I think I have some more evidence of what is going on. Yesterday, I took one of the "could not remove file" errors and shared with our Platform engineers (Pablo). He then remoted into that pod and checked to see if said file was being locked by a process. However, by... read more »

• The Elvis / Null Coalescing Operator Can Sometimes Replace The Safe Navigation Operator In Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61

  Posted on Sep 8, 2020 at 7:44 AM

  @Zac, Ha ha :D Not this time. @Chris, Yeah, Lucee CFML is pretty grand. That said, the safe-navigation operator is in TypeScript if you ever go that route for your JavaScript.... read more »

• Temporary Upload Files Are Duplicated And Persisted When A Request Uses CFThread In Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61

  Posted on Sep 7, 2020 at 5:40 AM

  @Charles, Yeah, I need to learn more about why the files cannot be deleted. I am not sure if it is all files; or just a few of them, which are errorring-out and short-circuiting the clean-up script? Unfortunately, I don't have good insight into the why yet. That said, since the ColdFusio... read more »

• Temporary Upload Files Are Duplicated And Persisted When A Request Uses CFThread In Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61

  Posted on Sep 6, 2020 at 1:26 PM

  No, something even more odd is happening. If I look at a single pod's logs for a 24-hours period, I see 27 log entries: 24 for the 1-per-hour check of check size of directory 3 for errors, cannot remove resource And, over that 24-hours period, that temp file storage on that pod ... read more »

• Temporary Upload Files Are Duplicated And Persisted When A Request Uses CFThread In Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61

  Posted on Sep 6, 2020 at 1:13 PM

  @Zach, Unfortunately, we didn't gather any more statistics prior to our deployment to clear all the containers :( I suspect it would have been many small files; but, I am not entirely sure. I may start collecting some information about this in our operation's health probes to see if I can ... read more »

• Temporary Upload Files Are Duplicated And Persisted When A Request Uses CFThread In Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61

  Posted on Sep 6, 2020 at 1:11 PM

  @Zach, So, I tried to narrow the logs down to a single Lucee container using the following query: ( "check size of directory" OR "cannot remove resource" ) AND "cfprojectsapi-deployment-d48b6fc76-gj79r" This gives me logs that interleave the "check... read more »

  I'm also seeing some errors logs like: "ERROR","Thread-2404010","09/02/2020","16:59:14","lucee.runtime.engine.Controler","cannot remove resource /opt/lucee/web/temp/tmp-959948.upload" And, looking at the Lucee source code, it looks l... read more »

  @Zach, So, I am seeing those logs in production (Loggly). And, going back to just before the incident when we had to trigger a deploy, here's some samples: check size of directory [/opt/lucee/web/temp]; current size [2184197729];max size [1073741824] check size of directory [/opt/lucee/web/te... read more »

  @Zachary, Oh interesting. I do see that kind of stuff in the logs a lot (at least locally). I had no idea what it was doing or what it was for. If I look in my local dev environment, I see one for temp and one cor cache : "INFO","Thread-50532","09/06/2020"... read more »

  @Daemach, Ahhh, nice catch. I tried Googling for this issue, but I was searching specifically for CFThread , so the parallel iteration didn't come up. Though, I also think that JIRA doesn't get much "Google love" cause JIRA tickets almost never come up for me when I am searching... read more »

• Lucee Appears To Incur Request-Cloning Overhead When Spawning CFThread Tags In Lucee CFML 5.3.3.62

  Posted on Sep 6, 2020 at 5:59 AM

  @All, I just stumbled-upon what I'm going to consider another "twist" in this request-cloning that happens with CFThread tags. It seems that if the parent request is handling a file upload , the .upload temporary file associated with that upload is duplicated and persis... read more »

• Zipping Image Archives With DEFLATE And STORE Compression Methods In Lucee CFML 5.2.9.31

  Posted on Sep 5, 2020 at 8:15 AM

  @All, As a small follow-up to this, I wanted to look at using both the STORE and DEFLATE compression methods in a single zip call: https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3888-using-both-store-and-deflate-compression-methods-with-the-zip-cli-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-6-61.htm This allows a dire... read more »

• Proxying Amazon AWS S3 Pre-Signed-URL Uploads Using Netlify Functions

  Posted on Sep 3, 2020 at 3:02 PM

  @Ray, OOOH RIGHT! I totally forgot that this feature even exists. I'll have to try it out because I'm really not adding any value by having to touch the request - so, it's possible that the blind proxy would be just what the doctor ordered. Outstanding suggestion!... read more »

• Proxying Amazon AWS S3 Pre-Signed-URL Uploads Using CFHTTP And Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61

  Posted on Sep 3, 2020 at 7:32 AM

  @All, A quick follow-up on this. As I mentioned in this post, I had originally tried to do this with Netlify Functions ; but, at the time, Netlify functions didn't properly handle application/octet-stream content properly. Well, a few weeks ago, they fixed this issue, which means that t... read more »
