Cross platform compatibility is often a reason to do or not to do applications a particular way to handle times when you change database vendor or operating system. In reality how often is this likely to happen?
Even if it did, Apache obviously runs on every platform, whilst IIS is Windows only. But if you did find yourself on Windows you can of course use something like ISAPI rewrite or equivalent to handle friendly URL's. I believe IIS7 even has something like this built in. Bottom line is the cost at the ColdFusion level is small, but in a highly concurrent environment you will see the difference. The question is of course whether you'll ever likely hit that scenario, most web sites wouldn't no matter how much we'd like them to :) Michael On Jul 12, 12:29 am, "Steve Onnis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Really it doesn’t take much > > <cflocation url="https://www.#replace(server_name, 'www.', '')#" > addtoken="No" /> > > To answer the question of "Why make CF process requests when the web server > can do it?", for cross platform compatibility.
