If you put a ".cfm" on the end, you can handle the request in the Application.cfm page. If you are using IIS, you have to tell it not to check to make sure the page exists. This is a setting specific to the application mapping.
Or, you can use an ISAPI extension (IIS) or mod_rewrite (Apache) to rewrite the URL before it even gets to ColdFusion. There's a free one for IIS called ISAPI_Rewrite (http://www.isapirewrite.com).

Hi all, I've searched the devcenter, google, etc. but can't seem to find any discussion of how to generate shorter URL strings. I want to take: http://www.site.com?action=blah&brand=1&name=blahblah&;.... And convert it to http://www.site.com/asdfwer234123 I've seen it done but just can't remember where. Can someone send me a url?
