That's close to how we've done it, but instead of using
URLEncodedFormat() we use tobase64() instead (all we're trying to do is
generate a string that can be stuck in the URL, not encrypt it).
When the login page is displayed, if there's a "return" URL var then we
stick that in a hidden form field. Once the user's logged in, if that
"return" var is set, we simply decode the base64 encoded string and
redirect the user.
Using this method, there's no need to rely on any cookies, database,
session vars or client vars etc. Example code below -- obviously this
isn't optimsed and will probably require checking on the encoded URL
passed through etc.
<!--- from sessioncheck.cfm --->
<cfif memberNotLoggedIn>
<cfset thisURL = cgi.script_name & "?" & cgi.query_string>
<cflocation url="login.cfm?return=#tobase64(thisURL)#">
</cfif>
<!--- from login.cfm --->
<cfif isdefined("url.return")>
<cflocation url="#tostring(tobinary(attributes.return))#">
</cfif>
