I had an interesting question from a Belgian user recently : do we have a CFSRIPT version of CFPOP and CFIMAP ?
Well the answer is no. And yes :-)
In addition to core language level support for various programming elements in cfscript, we have added support for only selected functionality already available thru tag syntax like ftp, http, mail, pdf, query, storedproc.
They are all implemented as CFCs and are present in CustomTags\com\adobe\coldfusion folder.
And these CFCs are all open source and can be extended as per customers requirement. One can easily extend cfscript support for unsupported tags by writing and dropping the CFCs in these folders and these CFCs would automatically be imported into default namespace and available with syntax like new someCFC() directly.
PS.: Thanks to Sanjeev for helping me out on this one.
