Hi Gene,
Here is one idea...its a long-shot, but:
You probably already know that if you're using the fusebox.org customer tag
"CF_formurl2attributes" slash-delimited query strings are handled
automatically.
Having said that, perhaps if you are using that tag, someone replaced your
version with an older version of the tag that did NOT handle slash-delimited
query strings. (Or maybe you kept yours in the custom tags directory on the
server and someone slipped in a local copy that's being used instead of the
newest one).

Subject: Parsing URLs on IIS 4
Can anyone suggest what settings in IIS 4 / SP5 could cause problems with
slash-delimited query strings?
We use a well-known CF web hosting service for a client site. To improve
visibility
on search engines, we use slash-delimited query strings rather than the
standard
name=value pairs, and use the cgi.path_info variable to translate.
Late last week, the server began coughing on the slash-delimited query
strings. It
appears that the server believes the slashes indicate folders, and it gives
404 errors
whenever a slash-delimited URL query string is accessed.
We figured they had just installed SP6 or 6A, since members of this list had
variously suggested one or the other may cause such problems. The host,
however, says
the server is still using SP5.
The query strings causing problems look like this:
www.greenthumbsup.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/ShowPage/PageID/6
Strangely, once the server throws a 404 on a URL like this, it continues to
throw the
same error even if you manually strip the URL back to the default top page
(which runs
fine if you access it before going to a page using a slash-delimited query
string):
www.greenthumbsup.com/index.cfm
Any ideas greatly appreciated!
