You're right in that we can use JS, but as I wrote, we can't *rely* on
it. IOW, we have to have some failsafe way to accomplish the same task
if the user has JS turned off. This has to do with 508 compliance as
well as specific client requirements. (Besides AFAIK, JS could only
tell me where the user *was,* as opposed to where the user *is,*
right?)
There are some times when I would like to have the entire requested
URL. I can piece it together, for the most part, from various cgi
vars, but I don't know how to recreate it *exactly.* Say, for
instance, that I want to know if the URL contained a basic HTTP login,
or if it did or didn't specify a port.
This is more of an academic question (since I have working, albeit
imperfect, workarounds): Is there a natural, server-side way to get
the requested URL in CFMX? (A yes or no answer would be fine ;-)
Thanks,
Jamie
