Hey folks, I know this discussion of 301 redirects is a couple weeks old, and that Ryan says he's solved the problem, but I don't recall anyone bringing something that could be useful, if one's on CF8 (and I don't recall Ryan saying if he is).
CFLOCATION now accepts the StatusCode as an attribute itself, so you can do a 301 with CFLOCATION. It muddies the waters a bit, since for so long all have associated CFLocation instantly as being a 302, as in this thread. Oh well. It's Christmas. Consider it a new toy. :-) It's one of the 100+ hidden gems I've chronicled in the talk I've given, "Hidden Gems in CF8", which I intend to turn into a modestly priced half-day online course in the new year. More on this CFLOCATION STATUSCODE feature (other than the docs, of course) is at: http://www.petefreitag.com/item/648.cfm http://www.coldfusionguy.com/ColdFusion/blog/index.cfm/2007/12/6/301-Redirec ts-With-CFLocation-StatusCode-Attribute http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2007/6/7/Automatically-pushing-to-a- new-URL-and-how-ColdFusion-8-makes-this-a-bit-simpler More on the concept in general is also available at: http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-306460.html Seriously, though, Merry Christmas to all. /charlie -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ryan Sabir Sent: Monday, December 17, 2007 7:27 PM To: 'cfaussie@googlegroups.com' Subject: [cfaussie] Re: 301 redirect not changing URL [SOLVED] Hi all, Andrew here came up with the solution: You need to write the header tag like this : <cfheader statuscode="301" statustext="Moved Permanently#Chr(13)##Chr(10)#Location:#newurl#"> All in one line. Now the redirect works.. and the URL changes.

It tells the search engine that the resource requested has been moved temporarily. A 301 redirect tells a search engine that the resource has been moved permanently, so no longer look for it at the original URL. At least that's how I understand how it works. ________________________________ From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Blair McKenzie Sent: Tuesday, 18 December 2007 10:42 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: 301 redirect not changing URL Is there any reason not to use cflocation?

If I bookmark it, its actually bookmarking the old URL. How can I do an SEO friendly redirect, and change the URL as well? thanks.
