Server Side Redirects in CFMX

2002-08-19 Thread Jeff Garza 

I've heard that there is a server-side redirect function for CFMX... I haven't been 
able to track it down and I remember hearing something about it here.  Would someone 
have the syntax for this handy?

Thanks,

Jeff Garza

Actually getPageContext is a method, not an instance, so you need the ()

cfscript
 getPageContext().forward('somewhere.cfm');
/cfscript

And remember: it throws an I/O error if the page being redirected contains
FORM-scoped variables.

cflocation is a client-side redirect while .forward is a server-side
one.

RE: Server Side Redirects in CFMX

2002-08-19 Thread Pete Freitag 

 cflocation is a client-side redirect while .forward is a server-side
 one.

Just to elaborate on that, a client side redirect is done by sending a
response back to the client (usually your browser) telling it to make a
request for a different page.

Where a server side redirect is done by forwarding the request to a
different location on the server.

Some really old browsers won't support client side redirects (it was added
to HTTP 1.1, so browsers that use HTTP 1.0 won't recognize the header).
Server side redirects are faster than client side redirects because its all
done on the server.

Thanks.. for the info..:)

I have used server-side redirects in other languages (.eg ASP).. and
understand its capability...

so i assume it is safe to use it in CF without any known problems or
limitations.

 known problems or limitations.

The only limitation is that your code will not be backwards compatible with
CF5 and below, otherwise I haven't seen any problems with using it.
