Simply using Request.* to communicate with a handler is "bad."
Try using stParams.
In the "thing" that is calling an method/handler:
<CFSET stParams=StructNew()>
<CFSET stParams.theText="Giant Potato">
<CFSET stParams.f3=true>
<cfa_contentObject
dataSource="#request.cfa.objectstore.dsn#"
lObjectIDs = "#grabPage.objectID#"
bSecure=false
method="display_link"
stParams="#stParams#"
>
In the method/handler that is being called:
<CFPARAM name="Attributes.stParams.f3" default=false>
<CFIF Attributes.stParams.f3>
<CFSET theImageFile="#theImageFile#_locked">
</CFIF>
NOTE: I'm not totally against using Request.* (I actually use a module
that sets Request.myPageID and Request.myPageName so that
all the handlers/containers/objects on the page won't need to look
it up anytime they need to know the name of the page ...)
