Re: [linux-audio-user] audio editor that imports real audio

Hello, Patrick Shirkey wrote: The ?mixid=5014 specifies a URL variable 'mixid' with value 5014. This is passed into the launch.cfm template as a URL variable. Without looking at the template source, we can't know what the variable is conditioning since it would be processed on the server side. I have no idea where you can find an audio application that has a feature that enables it to read a *.cfm template directly but, presumably, the authors of the *.cfm template are using Cold Fusion to dynamically select either the name or the data of a *.asf file from a server directory or database then, pass the result onto another Cold Fusion function, most likely on the server side, for display or to some audio application for rendering. When Macromedia bought Cold Fusion from Allaire, they started merging it with their Flash application. It may be, now that I think about it, that the dj set is being selected to run as Flash data. If this is the case, then it may be difficult to impossible to access the dj set unless you have access to the *.cfm source and the server from which the *.cfm template is being served. (All of the logic (except for embedded Javascript) in a *.cfm template is run on the server side. Only HTML and Javascript is passed on to the client.) But the question to ask here is "what is this *.cfm template programmed to do?" If you have access to source, then we can probably figure it out. Otherwise, you'll have to gather what clues you can by reviewing the site as a whole and by looking at the html source of the launch.cfm page via "View Source" on your browser (which probably won't tell you much). The name "launch" suggests that the template wants to actually execute the dj set. To do this, it has to either pass a file name or actual data on to some other application. The first question is "does this happen on the server side or the client side?" If it happens on the client side then there's a chance that you can snag it, since there are a limited number of ways of passing parameters to a client-side application through Cold Fusion -- usually through some client-side file. If happens on the server side then you may be screwed. Best wishes, Lloyd R. Prentice
