Ah ok.
Then I suppose that CFDUMP var="#cgi# will show only the exitence of
usual varables.

It is arguably a flaw, but certainly not a bug. It is a result of
intentional design.
It is also documented:

IMO there is no mystery: cgi variables are HTTP server creatures, no doubt.
But as far as CF is able to get the whole list of them, there is no
reason it could not say if one belongs to that list

No, this is not what's hapening, since the structKeyExists function
seems to work well.

I don't see your point, when they are requested to use one of them, they
do find it, no?
So when I ask CF if it is defined, it shouldn't say yes if it is not.
This bug is present in CF5, CF6 and CF7.

Hi,
The structKeyExists function seems to work well (tested with
ColdFusion MX 6.1 with
probably should not check for the existence of CGI variables for the
reason you noticed.

It looks like ANY
It looks like ANY variable in the cgi scope is always defined, ie:
is always true, and #CGI.anythingYouPutHere# always return an empty string.
CGI.whateverYouPutHere = [#CGI.whateverYouPutHere#]
CGI.whateverYouPutHere not defined
Always displays
CGI.whateverYouPutHere = []
Is this normal
