Flash-formatted ColdFusion forms don't render in browser | IIS 5, IIS 5.1Products affected
Issue
ColdFusion forms that specify flash for the format (cfform) don't render in a browser. The Check That File Exists property is enabled in IIS 5 or IIS 5.1.
Solution
- Open the IIS Administrator.
- Right-click the website in question and select Properties.
- Select the Home Directory tab.
- Click Configuration.
- Select the .cfswf extension and click Edit.
- Make sure that Check That File Exists is deselected. Do not change the Check That File Exists property for any of the other ColdFusion MX extensions, such as .cfm, .cfc, and so on
Additional information
The Check That File Exists property instructs IIS to check that the file in question exists on disk before it is served to the client. In ColdFusion MX Flash forms, the file is generated dynamically at runtime and maintained in memory, and never exists in the file system or on disk.
