  Posted on May 3, 2010 at 10:58 AM

  Ben, I just made this "discovery" myself about two weeks ago. Like you I thought the only way to send set-cookie headers was using cfcookie, but I was obviously wrong. I wonder if this behavior changed at some point? Anyway, one other thing I will add to this is that using StructDelete() on the coo... read more »

• ColdFusion 8 Application Specific Mappings Work With The CFComponent Extends Attribute

  Posted on Jun 11, 2009 at 1:26 PM

  I too was under the impression this did not work. I think part of the confusion stems from the fact that you cannot use application specific mappings in cfimport tags, so they do not work everywhere you would expect them to.... read more »

• Custom User Agents For ColdFusion Debugging

  Posted on Mar 7, 2008 at 8:47 AM

  Nice tip about the general.useragent.override preference, I didn't know about that one. ColdFire also uses a custom user agent to determine whether or not to return debugging info.
