Jamie worte: 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.
I understand the need to make sure applications work without the use of _javascript_. However, this client requirement has nothing to do with Section 508! For a long (informative and technical) discussion on this subject see

See Dave Watts's response on how web server headers are created. Remember too that CGI varaibles are varables available from Cold Fusion from the webserver. If you're using IIS the right combination would be
#cgi.url#?#cgi.query_string# (these can differ depending on your webserver). While we're on the subject, you might want to turn on debugging on your development server as well so you can see everything being passed to the CF application.

or if it did or didn't specify a port.
Depending on your webserver CGI.Server_port will provide the port number of the request.
Could you tell me if I'm reading you correctly? Do you mean you're passing login information through a url variable?
