Redis Extension <CFDISTRIBUTEDLOCK/>

Zackster · July 20, 2022, 12:16pm

Added some tests for the Redis extension, this includes test cases (aka working examples) for the somewhat unannounced (not anymore!) but very useful <CFDISTRIBUTEDLOCK/> tag, which allows locking across a cluster of servers.

Thanks to https://distrokid.com/ for sponsoring the development of this cool functionality

				throw "Redis is not configured?";

one thing we have planned to to change the tag to allow outputting progressive output, at the moment, it captures all output

Maybe we could get both?
