That wouldn't work unless CF was configured to run pages with the .asp
extension. You have three options:

1. Configure CF to run pages with the .asp extension.
2. Configure your web server to rewrite URLs - on IIS, that would
involve ISAPI_Rewrite or something similar.
3. Create an ASP page to redirect the user.

I would personally prefer the second option.
