The actual var name was group_name. Unlikely group_name is an IE 8 CGI var.

It's possible that IE8 sends an extra header named "myvar" that is what CF found to interrogate, but no other browser sends it. Is the actual name of "myvar" reasonable for that case? cheers, barneyb On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 11:03 AM, Robert Harrison <[email protected]> wrote: > > Just encountered a weird CF error.
