Yeah, its actually two ways of achieving the same goal. CFPARAM
name="fusebox", and DEFAULTCASE will both handle the non-explicit fuseaction
scenario. I think its really just a programming style decision from there.
But wait! There *IS* a difference. You use 'em BOTH.
Say some bonehead is trying to URL-hack, or out-fox you by typing
"index.cfm?fuseaction=admin", or some other url-chop. If you have a default
fuseaction (for no fuseaction supplied), and you receive a fuseaction that
is *not* in your CFSWITCH, then you know its somebody doing a url-hack. Tell
'em to GET LOST with a CFDEFAULTCASE.
