We would like to hide the fact we are using cold fusion. Is there a way to set up cold fusion so that our webserver will pass other extension to it. for example if I was metlife i would have the extension .met
---------
Not a problem! I'll tell you how to do it using NT and IIS. If you are using another OS/Web Server, then perhaps someone else can reply here.
1- Run REGEDIT and look for a key named W3SVC under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
2- Expand that key tree and look for a key named "Script Map".
3- You should see a value named ".cfm" under that that contains something like "C:\CFUSION\Bin\ISCF.DLL".
4- Add another string value with your extension that points to the same DLL.
5- Stop, then re-start the IIS service.
------------
Yes, we do it all the time on our sites. You need to go in to the Web server setup and map in the extension. In IIS, go to a Web site, right click on the server name and bring up the properties window. Under the Home Directory tab, click on the Configuration button. You'll see a list of "App Mappings." Just add your new one and point it to C:\CFUSION\bin\iscf.dll or wherever appropriate.
I think I've got it pretty close...

Measures for LBS

degree (° or deg) [1]

the standard unit of angle measure, equal to 1/360 circle, 60 minutes, 3600 seconds, or about 0.017 453 293 radian.

degree (° or deg) [2]

a unit of distance sometimes used at sea, equal to 60 nautical miles, approximately 69.05 statute miles, or 111.12 kilometers. This distance is the average length of one degree of latitude (that is, the average distance between two lines of latitude 1° degree apart). On the Earth's surface, one degree of latitude actually varies from about 68.7 miles at the Equator to 69.4 miles at the poles, while one degree of longitude is about 69.17 miles at the Equator (shrinking to nothing at the poles!).

nautical mile (nmi, naut mi or NM)

a unit of distance used primarily at sea. The nautical mile is defined to be the average distance on the Earth's surface represented by one minute of latitude. This may seem odd to landlubbers, but it makes good sense at sea, where there are no mile markers but latitude can be measured. Because the Earth is not a perfect sphere, it is not easy to measure the length of the nautical mile in terms of the statute mile used on land. For many years the British set the nautical mile at 6080 feet (1853.18 meters), exactly 800 feet longer than a statute mile; this unit was called the Admiralty mile. Until 1954 the U.S. nautical mile was equal to 6080.20 feet (1853.24 meters). In 1929 an international conference in Monaco redefined the nautical mile to be exactly 1852 meters or 6076.115 49 feet, a distance known as the international nautical mile. The international nautical mile equals about 1.1508 statute miles. There are usually 3 nautical miles in a league. The unit is designed to equal 1/60 degree [2], although actual degrees of latitude vary from about 59.7 to 60.3 nautical miles.

league

a traditional unit of distance. Derived from an ancient Celtic unit and adopted by the Romans as the leuga, the league became a common unit of measurement throughout western Europe. It was intended to represent, roughly, the distance a person could walk in an hour. The Celtic unit seems to have been rather short (about 1.5 Roman miles, which is roughly 1.4 statute miles or 2275 meters), but the unit grew longer over time. In many cases it was equal to 3 miles, using whatever version of the mile was current. At sea, the league was most often equal to 3 nautical miles, which is 1/20 degree [2], 3.45 statute miles, or about 5556 meters. The British definition of the league is 3 statute miles (about 4828 meters) on land or 3 nautical miles at sea. In the U.S., leagues have never been used on land and the only definition is 3 nautical miles. However, many occurrances of the "league" in English-language works are actually references to the Spanish league (the legua), the Portuguese league (legoa) or the French league (lieue). For these units, see below on this page.

mile (mi)

a traditional unit of distance. The word comes from the Latin word for 1000, mille, because originally a mile was the distance a Roman legion could march in 1000 paces (right foot, left foot -- that's one pace). There is some uncertainty about the length of the Roman mile. Based on the Roman foot of 29.6 centimeters and assuming a standard pace of 5 Roman feet, the Roman mile would have been 1480 meters (4856 feet) long; however, the measured distance between surviving milestones of Roman roads is often closer to 1520 meters or 5000 feet. Miles of similar lengths were used throughout Western Europe. In medieval Britain, many mile units were used, including a mile of 5000 feet (1524 meters), the modern mile defined as 8 furlongs (1609 meters), and a longer mile similar to the French mille (1949 meters), plus the Scottish mile (1814 meters) and the Irish mile (2048 meters). In 1592 the British Parliament settled the question by defining the statute mile to be 8 furlongs, 80 chains, 320 rods, 1760 yards or 5280 feet. The statute mile is exactly 1609.344 meters. In athletics, races of 1500 or 1600 meters are often called metric miles. See also nautical mile.

radian (rad)

a unit of angle measure widely used in mathematics and science. One radian is the angle at the center of a circle that cuts off an arc of length equal to the radius. Since the circumference equals 2 pi times the radius, one radian equals 1/(2 pi) of the circle, or approximately 57.295 779°. Using radians to measure angles seems unnatural at first. However, when angles are stated in radians the constant pi tends to disappear from the equations, and this greatly simplifies calculation. For example, the length of an arc is simply its radius multiplied by its angular measure in radians, and the area of a sector of a circle is simply its angular measure in radians multiplied by half the square of the radius. The radian was defined and named by James Thomson in 1873. Thomson was a mathematics professor at Queens College, Belfast, Northern Ireland, and the brother of the famous physicist William Thomson, Lord Kelvin.

radian per second (rad/s)

a common unit of angular velocity. One radian per second is equal to about 9.54930 rpm. This unit has been called a strob.

Literature Review: Internet Spiders Internet searching has been the hottest topic at recent World-Wide Web Conferences. Two major approaches have been developed and experimented with: one is the client-based search spider (agent) and the other is online database indexing and searching. However, some systems contain components of both approaches.

Sorting Algorithms Demo We all know that Quicksort is one of the fastest algorithms for sorting. It's not often, however, that we get a chance to see exactly how fast Quicksort really is. The following applets chart the progress of several common sorting algorithms while sorting an array of data using in-place algorithms. This means that the algorithms do not allocate additional storage to hold temporary results: they sort the data in place

Sulla - A User Agent for the Web This paper lays out the design and development of the Sulla user agent,(2) an intermediary software system with responsibility for tracking Web information and relating to its user information which is relevant to the user's interests. In particular, Sulla supports the ability to:
acquire and retain an interest profile of its user and act upon one or more goals based upon that profile;

act autonomously, pursuing the goals posed to it by its user, irrespective of whether the user is connected to the system where the agent is based;

apprise its user of progress towards outstanding goals, and present preliminary results; the ability to access a variety of information sources, both via direct access to those sources (e.g., HTML documents, FTP files, WAIS databases, articles posted to newsgroups, etc.) and those referenced by service agents; and

act ethically, exemplified by the guidelines proposed our WWW Fall `94 paper [8], in particular, moderation in the acquisition of information during the satisfaction of a goal.
