Allaire has recently released patches for certain technical problems in ColdFusion 4.5. These problems have been reported by ColdFusion users to Allaire in the Forums.

Solutions released include:

New CFHTTP DLL Solves Some CFHTTP Problems

Those experiencing problems with CFHTTP in ColdFusion 4.5 should check out Seth Horan's replacement http.dll, posted on January 5th, 2000. However, this fix only tackled the problem of passing form values correctly to CGI scripts, leaving the issues regarding the addition of the port number to a resolved URL still not fixed. We look forward to further updates and ColdFusion Version 4.5.1, referred to in several posts.

CFHTTP Will Not Submit FormFields in ColdFusion Server 4.5

Problem: In ColdFusion 4.5, when you use the CFHTTPPARAM to post FORMFIELDS to another page, it may not work. You will get an error message or you will find nothing will process. The cause of this problem? A simple difference in format. Allaire re-built the CFHTTP tag to use multipart/form-data, while the 4.x release and below used the application/x-www-form-urlencoded format.

Allaire has posted a workaround.

CFPOP Bug Fixed For CF Server 4.5

Problem: Some older mailers such as Lotus Notes create non-standard boundary delimiters when constructing multipart submissions for attachments. The NS library that Allaire uses did not accommodate such boundaries. This manifested when an attachment would come through as part of the message body.

Solution: The NS library was modified so that it would recognize these boundaries and attachments would be handled correctly by CFPOP. As this modified the MIME libraries, apply the patch to any CFPop code that was working in CF Server 4.01, but no longer works in CF Server 4.5.
