You can create your parameters as a list or string and pass them as a single query string:
http://www.site.com?detail,108,492 then use the list or the string to generate your variables for a a redirect: <cflocation url="index.cfm?fuseaction=#listfirst(cgi.query_string)#&catid=#l istgetat(cgi.query_string,2)#&productid=#listgetat(cgi.query_string)#"> Essentially, url-shorteners always work by condensing the url parameters and removing the &varname= portions of the query string and parsing the data manually. I've seen at least one web-site that offers a url-shortening service as an asp where you provide a long url and they enter it into a db and provide you with something like http://shorturl.com?3596 ... Which could always be done internally...
