ColdFusion 8.0.1 gotchas - ImageNew
In ColdFusion 8.0, the following code worked:
<cfset image=ImageNew("http://www.mycompany.com/task/getimage.cfm?mode=thumbnail")>
Apparently some others (scroll down to the section discussing "...image format is not supported on this operating system...") had this problem before, but this code has successfully run for several months until the update. The cfm file returns a content type of image/jpeg, so perhaps that's why it was working. In order to get it working now, I had to to change the URL to this:
<cfset image=ImageNew("http://www.mycompany.com/task/getimage.cfm/thumbnail/file=image.jpg")>
I also had to update the cfm file so the mode is retrieved from the cgi.path_info. The passed filename is basically ignored, but key to ColdFusion 8.0.1 accepting the URL.
