Okay, we've done some more testing and it appears that the problem only arises once CFMX in installed.
I am recoding to use CFHEADER, but I think it is clear that CFMX will not allow renaming of filenames with a final '/'. I won't bother reporting it as a bug because some people could argue that it is a feature: a feature of security.

Thanks for the suggestion. Again it looked very promising. However, it didn't work. I am now convinced that IIS is just being awkward. Case of Microsoft adding a 'feature' without telling anyone.

You can install the url replacer isapi filter to do a similar thing (http://www.pstruh.cz/help/urlrepl/library.htm ) where your new format would be: www.anysite.com/downloadsoftwarepage.cfm/name=newnameforthesoftware.exe > -----Original Message----- > From: Paolo Piponi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 16 January 2003 13:04 > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: [ cf-dev ] Delivering files > > > Does anyone use a link like this: > > www.anysite.com/downloadsoftwarepage.cfm/newnameforthesoftware > .exe (link > itself does not work!) > > I have had problems using the last part on 3 installations of CFMX on > different machines.
