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.

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.

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.
