Jason,
Your second example is exactly what I need.
eg: www.mysite.com/products.cfm/1 it would normally look like
www.mysite.com/products.cfm?ID=1
I need the path_info so I pull the ID from a url like this:
www.mysite.com/products.cfm/1
Currently, I can't get cf to return the path_info. Lets say I put in
www.mysite.com/products.cfm/1 and have on my cf
template: <cfoutput>#cgi.path_info#</cfoutput>. When submitted, I get a
blank page. I can get things like cgi.server_name and cgi.script_name but
no cgi.path_info. It was a known bug before sp1 and should have been fixed
(the allaire forums say it was). For some reason its not. There's not
much I can do as its my ISP's server. I guess what I'm looking for is some
sort of an alternate route for capturing the path_info. Is it possible?
