I'm assuming you're doing a <cfdirectory action="list">  how does listing
the files in a directory help you?

Here's an example:

<cfdirectory
        directory="#request.FilePath#"
        Name="myDirectory"
        Sort="name ASC">

Tells CF where to go in /Application.cfm for something like this and
allows the same code to run on multiple servers without alteration. 
It would also make some sense to use application vars and set them
only once if not isdefined, but I kept the example simple.

On my stuff I tend to use a lot of absolute URLs.  a user could, for
example, create a page in a CMS and decide it must be secure, and its
posted form data kept same.  Or not.  Since I have no way of knowing
how a user will build their site this introduces the need to be able
to plug in a default 'secure' url to prepend to what would otherwise
be a relative url in an html menu link, or a form post from that page
etc.  Likewise I would want someone on that page to switch back to
http from https when they move away from the page, so I need to keep a
'bare' version as well.  I do the same thing for email servers and
addresses for system-generated stuff.

I never thought of the stuff Dave brought up.  I never use it but I
can see where that could be important on some projects.
