Hi, You could use the GetHttpRequestData() method to get more information about the request.. look it up in CFdocs
Unfortunately cgi variables are generated by the web server, not CF. So whatever variables you get are contingent on the web server (ie. IIS) and whatever it is allowing you to see. I only use CGI for detecting IP addresses and user agents etc so cannot help in that department Joel -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Barry Beattie Sent: Wednesday, 12 July 2006 5:27 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] changed behavour: CF 6.1 to 7.0 - missing CGI (custom) variables - AAARRRGGGHHH! hi all the biggest stumbling block in upgrading to CF7 is that some custom CGI variables set by IIS with an ISAPI filter go missing in CF7...but are fine in CF6.1 (and ASP.NET) the facts: 1) I'm testing away on 2 machines. both boxes have IIS (and exactly the same ISAPI filter), one has CF6.1 and the other CF7.02. Exactly the same (simple) test code for both versions 2) I'm comparing the variables between CF and ASP.NET. These specific CGI vars are also listed in ASP.NET's "server variables" collection and can also be accessed in ASP.NET's headers collection. for ColdFusion they are CGI variables. 3) ASP.NET/CF6.1 box shows ISAPI vars fine. Other box shows ISAPI vars for ASP.NET only (ie: they're missing with CF7) 4) it is the ISAPI filter that is setting the vars (a lookup to AD/security/permissions) managed by IIS. ColdFusion and ASP.NET just need the ability to read these variables. 5) while both machines are NOT identical, at least I'm comparing granny smith apples to royal gala apples. AND the fact that ASP.NET isn't having a problem in either. 6) it's like CF7.0 can't read these vars from the broswer, even if asked by specific (CGI) name. so... either there is a bug that hasn't been picked up before where CF7 is broken compared to CF6.1 or there is a problem with the ISAPI filter itself that CF6.1 tolerates but CF7 just ignores/no output. either way, if I can't fix this problem, we can't upgrade to CF7 any thoughts? anyone had this discrepency before (and fixed it)? any suggestions to see what could be wrong? thanx barry.b PS: is there any other way of reading more of the _raw_ data sent to the server from the browser apart from the usual CGI/server/request vars? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
