You configure your web server to create a custom 404 response header. In
IIS, you go to the Custom Errors tab in the site properties and modify the
404 to point to a page on your site and perhaps add some custom URL
parameter to help you catch it. Then on that page you parse the request
("CGI.HTTP_REQUEST" in CF5 or
"GetPageContext().getRequest().getRequestURL().toString()" in CF6/7) to grab
the token in the URL you're looking for. You can then use that value to do
the lookup in your table.

Subject: simple URLs like www.domain.com/go/2345
Hello !
Basically, I want to be able to use a simple URL that would forward to a
more complex one.
Like when you communicate on paper, you don't want the user to have to type
www.domain.com/products/index.cfm?action=this&product=that&disptype=1234&pro
mo=1234
but you'd rather have them use something simple like www.domain.com/1234
At the same time, you can take the opportunity to log that hit in another
table to run statistics.
The question is: how do you handle with ColdFusion simple urls like that,
that do not have a .cfm filename in the URL ?
Thanks so much !!!
