Hi Angelo,
Thanks very much, again, for your help. It's weird because I have the same
code on 2 servers and it works on one and not the other. The page that is
doing the cflocation is part of a fairly complex series of <cfif> statements
that do various things based on fields in a database. One of those fields is
a filename and the <cflocation> tag is supposed to call the file from the
database. When I replace the <cflocation> tag with a <meta refresh> it
works. And it also works on the other server. Something must have changed on
the demo server to stop it from working but I'm stumped as to the cause.
I agree with you that it sounds like a confusion in the HTTP status. I'm not
setting any cookies but there is a login routine in the Application.cfc
file.
The thing I'm trying to understand is why it works on one server and not the
other.
