The problem appears to be on their end and I've posted to their mailing list, but I'd be interested in any thoughts this community may have as well: ColdFusion does not appear to pass the REQUEST_URI variable in its CGI scope as expected. The value there appears to be the landing page URI rather than the URI originally requested. Are there any other server variables that might include this information? Has anyone ever run into this issue in a ColdFusion environment before? Thanks.
I never got this working in ColdFusion, but I finally figured out another way to do it. I hadn't realized that mod_rewrite provided me with the ability to change the environment myself. This RewriteRule appears to have given me exactly what I need: RewriteRule ^/(.*) /my/landingpage.cfm [E=MY_REQUEST_URI:%{REQUEST_URI},QSA,PT] Now I can access #CGI.MY_REQUEST_URI# to retrieve the original URI without worrying about what ColdFusion provides. More testing will be done, but it looks pretty solid as far as I can tell.
