Well, I had up to 6 or so non-form parameters to pass, in addition to
CFID/CFTOKEN, and I was aiming to make the URLs SES, AND have Statistics
server keep statistics on each fusebox page, so I just went the:
http://www.smarteryellowpages.com/HL/index.cfm/IN.396/CD.3142528/CN.75239346/AL.O.htm
or "/Var.VarValue/" route for everything.
Thinking of a server farm, and noting the problem others have reported with
using CFID/CFTOKEN, I got rid of CFID/CFTOKEN and CFAPPLICATION, and
"rolled my own" Client management.
One thing I'm curious about is whether Search Engines will index each page
anew with each visit, since the parameter values (396, 3142528, and
75239346 in the above) will be scrubbed in each visit.
best, paul
