For anyone who's interested, I think I just found a solution. Instead
of relying on ColdFusion to put what I needed in the environment, I
realized that mod_rewrite had provided the ability for me to handle it
myself:
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /my/landingpage.cfm [E=MY_REQUEST_URI:%{REQUEST_URI},QSA,PT]
Now I can access #CGI.MY_REQUEST_URI# to retrieve the original URI
without worrying about what ColdFusion provides. More testing will be
done, but it looks pretty solid as far as I can tell.
Thanks again.
