• Changing The Execution Context Of JavaScript Functions Using Call() And Apply()

  Posted on Oct 5, 2011 at 7:17 AM

• Creating Globally Accessible User Defined Functions In ColdFusion (Safer Version)

  Posted on May 31, 2011 at 6:22 AM

  @Ben, you are right, unfortunately altering CGI scope is impossible. i learn something new every day :) i ended up using the url scope as you suggested, but i fear as the UDF library grows, that name collision will create errors which are hard to debug (i already had my share of debuging errors co... read more »

• Streaming Secure Files Efficiently With ColdFusion And MOD XSendFile

  Posted on Apr 15, 2011 at 7:11 AM

  Great idea! We used the combination of mod_auth_cookie and Apache authentication to manage secure downloads, but your approach seems much better. Especially since mod_auth_cookie seems dead. Thanks for pointing XSendfile.... read more »

• Understanding The Basic Authentication Request-Response Life Cycle

  Posted on Mar 16, 2011 at 7:20 AM

  A bit off-topic; the cfinvoke for webservices or cfhttp have no support for NTLM Authentication. And Java libraries that do have them (Apache HTTP Client for example) have other bugs, so if you want to connect CF to a Microsoft Webservice (like Sharepoint or Dynamics) protected with NTLM you are fre... read more »
