Seems to me that this is a functionality of the Web Server and not CF, so I dont' see how Macromedia could claim that they fixed the problem. Anyway, I am able to get SES url's to work using IIS. Everything after the original file name is being passed to CF in cgi.path_info as it should. So IIS seems to recognize those SES url's and pass them off to CF. Maybe you already answered this, but what web server are you using? I would guess that there in lies the problem.

Basically, it goes back to 96 or 97 and has to do with a small 'feature' where anything AFTER the file name would be pumped into the CGI.path_info. It didn't matter if it had question marks, equal signs, or what. It only mattered that it was separated from the actual filename by a slash. Saying that it should be /name/a rather than /name=a is semantics that doesn't really mean much to the operation of the technique (I hate arguing semantics rather than the tech). The root here is that CFMX is looking at index.cfm/name=a (or index.cfm/name/a) as if it was the full url/file name and is choking on it. It is NOT recognizing that index.cfm is the file name and everything else after it is extended information. The question was, now that Macromedia has said that CFMX WILL recognize index.cfm/name=a (or index.cfm/name/a) as the template index.cfm with whatever else, has anyone gotten it to work? > Michael: > > Try changing the URL from http://lotauctions.com/index.cfm/name=a to > http://lotauctions.com/index.cfm/name/a (note the equal sign was changed to > a foreslash). > > In general, SES URLs take the form ...filename/name1/val1/name2/val2/... and > you either use some sort of URL rewrite or some code that preparses the URL > for you so you can access your URL variables as expected.
