Easy solution to this;
Make a template that is used as a graphic, then call it on the page - it
should CFContent a 1x1 transparent GIF (43 bytes) and also write a cookie to
the domain...
<img src="http://www.myDomain.com/image.cfm/12345/image.gif" height=1
width=1>
<!--- image.cfm --->
<cfset c=CGI.path_info>
<cfif c is "">
<cfset c=CGI.script_name>
</cfif>
<cfset cid=ListGetAt(c,2,"/")>
<cfcookie name="ID" value="#cid#" expires="never">
<cfcontent type="image/gif" file="c:\blank.gif" reset="yes">
It's rough code (written without testing and off the top of my head), but it
should do what you want...
Reasons why I put the "image.gif" on the end of the image name - older
browsers don't display "images" that aren't a real image type, therefore a
file not ending with .GIF, .JPG or .JPEG will appear as a broken graphic -
putting the fake image name on the end gets around this...
