cfimage and ImageScaleToFit on Large Images Pegs CPU
6 Comments · Posted by Elliott in Adobe, ColdFusion, Programming
I was working on the new profile picture feature of the registration and CFUnited 2009 website when I ran into an issue where a user uploaded a 2112 x 2816 (2MB) photo. This seemed to cause file locking issues in cfimage which I was told were addressed by CF 8.0.1 Cumulative Hot Fix 1. I […]

ColdFusion 8 Exception Handling Breaks HTTP Requests
No comments · Posted by Elliott in Adobe, ColdFusion, Programming
Just found this bug today…. So CF8 outputs the cfcatch.message into the Reason-Phrase portion of the HTTP Response, however it does not strip new lines (LF or CR). A web server, however, should never send new lines in the Reason-Phrase [1], and should probably be truncating that error message at a certain length. [1] RFC2616, […]

Getting the Expected Results for GetCurrentTemplatePath() in a Custom Tag.
9 Comments · Posted by Elliott in Adobe, ColdFusion, Java, Programming
While working on the template system used for the conference websites I ran across a problem where I needed the path to the template that called a custom tag. The first thing I tried was getCurrentTemplatePath() thinking that it might return that since the documentation makes no mention of custom tags. Instead, however, the function […]

No comments · Posted by Elliott in ActionScript 3.0, Adobe, Flex, OS X
With the recent launch of Apollo Beta I thought I’d look into Flex again for some fun and decided I’d write plist api so that Apollo applications could read and modify OS X plists in a sane maner. PList XML is particularly problematic because of how its structured: <dict> <key>Foods</key> <array> <dict> <key>Chocolate</key> <true/> </dict> […]

While doing some casual web surfing I came across a rather interesting blog entry about Ruby’s types and looping. I started typing a reply, and then I realized it was really long, so I’m putting it here: One reason I think methods like this are great is that Ruby is intended to be read! Which […]
