Variables in the REQUEST scope are only available ("alive") for that particular HTML
PAGE REQUEST, just as local variables are only available for a single template.
Think of them as local variables that are available for the entire chain of cascading
<CFINCLUDES> and <CFMODULE> calls that you make with any single HTML page request.
They can be used in a very similar fashion to APPLICATION scope variables, since they
can be accessed across the entire web site (in fact, they can be accessed across
different <CFAPPLICATIONS>, making them more like SERVER scope variables.) They
can be accessed across <CFMODULE> or custom tag calls, unlike page variables (scope
= VARIABLES)
However, they are not saved to memory, and are not persistent.
They were created to allow CF integration with Spectra, but they are great for other
purposes.
Advantages:
Application/Server wide (cross module access)
Don't need to be <CFLOCKED>
