  Hi Ben, Yw! Hi Ben and Adam, I've filed CF-4205055 to bring Lucee's consistent looping of sparse arrays to CF. Thanks!, -Aaron... read more »

• ColdFusion 2016 Skips Over Undefined Elements With For-In Array Loop

  Posted on Aug 23, 2019 at 5:54 AM

  Hi Ben and Adam, Thank you for covering the history and current behavior of this. I believe this is undocumented, so I've filed https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4205052 to document how the various array looping constructs handle sparse arrays. Thanks!, -Aaron... read more »

• Providing A Timeout To A Future Method Changes It To A Synchronous Blocking Call In ColdFusion 2018

  Posted on Aug 31, 2018 at 3:57 AM

  Hi Vijay, Can it please be documented that timeout and .then()/.error() are sometimes blocking? Also, can it please be documented that a workaround is nested RunAsync()? Thanks!, -Aaron... read more »

• Timeouts Only Apply To Last Future Thread, Not The Preceding Future Chain In ColdFusion 2018

  Posted on Aug 31, 2018 at 3:47 AM

  Hi Vijay, Regarding "There is no default timeout. The default timeout value of 1000ms only applies for named parameter invocation." Are you saying positional parameters RunAsync(myFunction) has no default timeout but named parameters RunAsync(function=myFunction) has a 1000ms... read more »

• ColdFusion Ordered ArgumentCollection Behavior Depends On ColdFusion Version And Invocation Context

  Posted on Dec 3, 2012 at 9:44 PM

  @Ben, Didn't see a reply so posting here. CF10's invoke() accepts an argumentArray: <cfscript> function f() {return ARGUMENTS;} argumentArray = [1,2,3,4,5]; writeDump(invoke("", "f", argumentArray)); </cfscript> Positional order is maintained. HTH!, -Aaron... read more »

• ColdFusion 10 - Don't Use Dynamic Query Values In CFLoop

  Posted on Jun 7, 2012 at 4:37 PM

  Hi Ben, I've already filed #3041787 for <cfloop name="" Among other things, it would permit a loop's dynamic queries to be scoped. I've just added this comment to the ticket: ----------- For dynamic query loops, the 1st line of my example could be: <cfloop query="#getData()... read more »

  @Ben Regarding: "We'll see what happens in the next release of ColdFusion." I tried to post a code sample here, but it wouldn't let me. I've emailed it to you via your contact form. Thanks, -Aaron... read more »

• ColdFusion Ordered ArgumentCollection Behavior Depends On ColdFusion Version And Invocation Context

  Posted on Nov 5, 2010 at 2:50 AM

  @Ben, That's correct. TreeMap is key-ordered (ascending); LinkedHashmap is insert-ordered. http://vidyapsi.wordpress.com/2009/01/22/hashmap-vs-hashtable-vs-treemap-vs-linkedhashmap/ Regarding the bug, I wish I'd have filed it in 9.0.1, tho I was not yet sure it was a bug, and my recommendation a... read more »

• ColdFusion Ordered ArgumentCollection Behavior Depends On ColdFusion Version And Invocation Context

  Posted on Nov 4, 2010 at 8:20 PM

  @Elliott, Thanks for the insight into the argumentCollection behavior in 8.0.1 and 9. I didn't catch this. However, as Ben and Martijn noted (and as I understood), the issue is not with functions which have arguments defined. Rather, the issue is with functions that do _not_ have arguments... read more »

• ColdFusion Ordered ArgumentCollection Behavior Depends On ColdFusion Version And Invocation Context

  Posted on Oct 30, 2010 at 8:40 AM

  Hi Ben, Good discussion. I recall playing w/ this ordered-argument mapping a while back. I also tried passing the numbered struct as a LinkedHashMap and a TreeMap, to see if I'd get any different behavior. I believe I ended up just creating an object, and then passing the args as a list. Then it di... read more »

  @Ben, And here I am w/ another super late reply! haha, I just saw your message here from last month. Cool, the only thing I added was the urlDecode() on line 1140. Thank you, and you're welcome, and I'll be interested to know when the updated CFHTTPSession.cfc is posted. Take care!, -Aaron... read more »

• Updated CFHttpSession.cfc With Spoofed Referer Can Log Into PayPal

  Posted on Jun 22, 2010 at 6:19 AM

  @Ben, Thanks! I thought I was losin' it.. So I did some googling and came across cfx_http5. I pretty much just implemented the code right out of their example, and was able to maintain a PayPal session just fine. So I started comparing the communication w/ Firebug and Wireshark, and also had the f... read more »

• Updated CFHttpSession.cfc With Spoofed Referer Can Log Into PayPal

  Posted on Jun 20, 2010 at 6:38 AM

  Hi Ben, I see, from your screenshot, that CFHTTPSession.cfc has worked against PayPal before. Apparently PayPal did not previously send cookies having special characters. Currently, PayPal is sending a cookie containing a pipe-delimited list, and another cookie having an ampersand-delimited list of... read more »
