I have picked up the method of using the CGI variable PATH_INFO (SCRPT_NAME
depending). Now I have herd that this method does not work with IIS 5,
however I am running Win2k servers without this problem, sooooo.... Anyway,
I have added a parser in my FormURL2Attributes, that also parses out
variables using this method too. Posted below. So my urls look something
like this:
what the user sees-
http://mysite.com/index.cfm/var1.foo1/var2.foo2/var3.foo3.html
what cf sees -
http://mysite.com/index#request.webextension#/var1.foo1/var2.foo2/var3.foo3#
request.spiderext#
I also set two vars in my app_server file called request.webextension and
request.spiderext
request.webextension is set to .cfm and request.spiderext is set to .html,
so if you ever decided to change/mask your cfm extension or use a different
extension for the spider all of your links are updated. I am not sure how
great this method is, but it seems to work find for me.
FormURL2Attributes:
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes">
<cfif IsDefined("CGI.QUERY_STRING")>
<cfloop list="#CGI.QUERY_STRING#" delimiters="&" index="valuepair">
<cfset urlname = "#ListGetAt(valuepair, 1, "=")#">
<cfif not IsDefined('attributes.' & urlname)>
<cfset
setvariable("CALLER.ATTRIBUTES.#urlname#","#evaluate("url."&"#urlname#")#")>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
</cfif>
<cfif IsDefined("CGI.PATH_INFO")>
<cfset list_len = listlen(CGI.PATH_INFO,"/")>
<cfset list_index =
listcontainsnocase(CGI.PATH_INFO,"index#request.webextension#","/")>
<cfset list_start = list_index + 1>
<cfloop index="i" from="#list_start#" to="#list_len#">
<cfset valuepair = listgetat(CGI.PATH_INFO, i, "/")>
<cfset varname = gettoken(valuepair, 1, ".")>
<cfif not IsDefined('attributes.' & varname)>
<cfset setvariable("CALLER.ATTRIBUTES.#varname#", "#gettoken(valuepair, 2,
".")#")>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
</cfif>
<cfif IsDefined("FORM.fieldnames")>
<cfloop list="#FORM.fieldnames#" index="field">
<cfif not IsDefined('attributes.' & field)>
<cfset
setvariable("CALLER.ATTRIBUTES.#field#","#evaluate("form."&"#field#")#")>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
</cfif>
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="no">
