If you are bound, bent and determined to do this in CF simply have a url
parser in your app.cfc.
However this is really best left to URL rewriting via the webserver.

The best approach for this would be to use a URL rewriting tool such as
ISAPI_REWRITE. That's an IIS thing. Doing it with pure ColdFusion, the best

Untrue. I myself have written a cf based url rewrite before I knew how to do
it via the webserver.
He can achieve exactly what he wants by using IIS (or whatever) to point to
a .cfm
IIS7 has a built in url rewriter, so no need to isapi_rewriter. It works
very similar to the mod_rewrite for apache in that the rewrite rules are

With IIS 7, you can download the URL rewrite module for free from Microsoft.

Everybody else has given good advice, but I wanted to show you some code to
do what you originally asked for. I searched for a small bit of code that
Sean Corfield posted to his blog, and I can't find it. But he did add URL

I would also argue that it's not really bad to do URL rewriting within CF
instead of in the web server. Sure, there may be high traffic situations
where you're trimming miliseconds, but for most cases CF URL rewriting is a
Meh, the syntax is nearly identical between the different options. It would
take anyone with half a brain all of about an hour to switch the rewrite
rules over from apache to IIS or vice versa.

Sure it's personal preference I guess but I generally try to use the right

is best left to the server. And ColdFusion server can be left to serve out

Not to argue, because you make good points, but just about every shared host

really well documented steps on how to do it too. I think it's probably

If you are doing it in cf then that means you are using IIS (or *nix equiv)
to return a cf page for processing when it determines the file is not there.
If you do it right you return the proper response in the cfheader for the
url (mydomain.com/tinyurl). If you don't do it right the spider gets

You could do something like the following.
cfscript
requestMap = CreateObject(java, java.util.HashMap);
for(key in url)
requestMap.put(URL| key, url[key]);
uid = requestMap.hashCode();
/cfscript

If you put a .cfm on the end, you can handle the request in the
Application.cfm page. If you are using IIS, you have to tell it not to
check to make sure the page exists. This is a setting specific to the
application mapping.
Or, you can use an ISAPI extension (IIS) or mod_rewrite (Apache) to
