PREAMBLE

This is one of a set of secure versions of the tags CFFILE, CFDIRECTORY and CFEXECUTE, etc. They operate essentially the same the built-in 4.5.x versions except that they accept USERNAME and PASSWORD parameters used for hosting situations. They may have some additional features or lack a few (irrelevant features).

These tags were originally machined by request to compliment or replace the tags CFX_File and CFX_Directory.


CFX_secPOST / secPOSTService

This software is composed of a Cold Fusion CFX tag and a service that emulates a limited basic HTTP/1.0 server protocol at a default port of 90. You can specify the port used by changing the registry entry:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intrafoundation\secPOST\Port

The secPOSTService.exe is installed by typing secPOSTService /RegServer at the command line.

This software uses a file called secPOST.txt that should be located in your CustomTags folder (typically c:\cfusion\customtags). The format of the file consists of a series of lines containing five space seperated fields such as:

<host> <home> <tmpfolder> <bytes> <accept>

Edit this file as you wish.

Currently bytes and accept are not implimented. For bytes use 0 to select unlimited byte size.

secPOSTService reponds as a limited HTTP server. You can do form posts to it and the entire contents of the post are stored in a temporary folder as a file. Use the CFX tag CFX_secPOST to retrieve this data.
