CGI.script_name etc.

I am coding a very large back-end system for a client. Their server is not CGI compatible (I'm not incredibly familiar with CGI, I prefer CF). I do use lines like this in my code to do various things...

<cfform method="POST" action="#CGI.script_name#">

... and although I know the syntax, I'm honestly not sure if this is actually using CGI or if it something included with Coldfusion. Basically, can I use the above line on a server that doesn't have CGI support, but runs Coldfusion. Sorry I don't know more about it.

It's using CF to read information / variables passed over from the

http://www server.

CGI variables come from the ColdFusion server. Place this code on a page and see what happens:

<cfdump var="#cgi#"><cfabort>

The values of the CGI variables come from the http (www) server.

When I want my script to return to the same script, I just remove the action keyword.
