Would that really matter, doesn't cflocation just tell the browser to relocate to the specified url?

Possibly due to incorrectly configured DNS. Check the links are obtainable when browsing direct to them from the server if you have access to it. Dave -----Original Message----- From: Cornillon, Matthieu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 27 September 2002 14:54 To: CF-Talk Subject: CFLOCATION to external sites - failure Hi. I have a series of pages, each of which points to an offsite link. These external sites vary in location and nature. In order to track usage of these sites, I am passing users through an exit page. On this exit page, I pull the external URL from a database and stick it in a CFLOCATION statement. Sometimes this works, and sometimes I get a "page could not be found"/404 error. I am sure that this is not to do with the exit page's placement: if I remove it, I get an entirely different error. So I am sure that the exit page is being loaded. To make things stranger: if I paste the URL (pulled by the exit page) directly into a browser, it works fine. Or, if I use CFHEADER instead of CFLOCATION, it works fine. Anyone know of any reason why CFLOCATION should fail when pointing offsite?
