IIS+SSL+CFCONTENT problems

24 July, 2006 (22:20) | ColdFusion | By: Darryl Lyons

Today I experienced a very strange problem, that I think a few of you have also experienced. If you are using SSL and IIS together, there is a known bug that prevents attachment downloads from working correctly if you are using cache control headers.

So, the following will not work.

PLAIN TEXT
CFM:
  1. <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment;filename=thefile.csv">
  2. <cfheader name="pragma" value="no-cache">
  3. <cfcontent type="application/csv" deleteFile="No" file="path\to\file\theFile.csv">

But this will work.

PLAIN TEXT
CFM:
  1. <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment;filename=thefile.csv">
  2. <cfcontent type="application/csv" deleteFile="No" file="path\to\file\theFile.csv">

Simile Timeline: DHTML Timelines

2 July, 2006 (11:50) | JavaScript | By: Darryl Lyons

Simile Timeline is a pretty cool project from the guys at MIT. They have developed a flexible timeline widget in DHTML that can be rendered horizontally or vertically. It uses XML as the datasource, and seems to cope with large datasets quite well. For instance, one of the examples plots 2000 years of Jewish history.

I think I will be playing with this at work, as we want to plot client activity within our CRM.

Thanks to the guys at Ajaxian for finding this.
