structCount(url) GT 0 <----
or
NOT structIsEmpty(url)
Relying on CF's implicit type conversion is generally a bad idea,
particularly when you're dealing with boolean values. There are just
way too many weirdnesses lurking in the shadows with boolean
conversions.
Of the two, I'd prefer the latter, since you don't care about the
actual count, just whether it's empty or not.
