Developer vs. Standard

I am currently developing a web service using the CF
Developer edition. I am aware that it is only accessible from 2 IPs
and it is not the full version but i thought it would work for the
development and if everything worked the way it was supposed to we
would spring for the standard edition. During my trials here I am
getting an error from a QuickBooks tool that my service works with
that it does not expect a META tag in a specific namespace.



After searching for a cause of the error, a couple people
have told me that the Developer edition is inserting a META tag
where raw XML should be. Could this be possible? Would the Standard
edition fix this? I just want to know that this is really the
problem before going on tho buy it and then have the same
problem.Developer vs. Standard
CF Dev places a META tag into the headers ... it will screw
up and break many bits of Javascript and XML, especially if it is
CF controlled/generated.



If you run any of the FULL versions of CF this should fix
your problem.Developer vs. Standard
thank you. there's no way to just remove them or comment
them
If they are on-the-fly generations then no ... if you are
saving the files as actual XML hardcoded documents and then using
them, you could try doing a pseudo search and replace, but that
kind of eliminates the purpose of dynamically generated on-the-fly
actions.



The META tag in the Dev version is the one big thorn that
developers really dislike since they have no accurate way to tell
if a file is actually broken in reality, or if it is broken due to
the tag without placing the file(s) on the production server ...
which kind of defeats the purpose of having a separate dev system.
