URL Variables

[wbg34]

I inherited an application template that uses a series of cfincludes to direct users to it's authentication. This Authentication works flawlessly unless the call to the app contains a url variable.

Basically, the Auth portion of the app uses CGI.PATH_INFO to retain the original location that the user was trying to reach. Unfortunately, CGI.PATH_INFO cuts off any of the url variables that were sent.

Is there any way to preserve the url variables as wll as the info that CGI.PATH_INFO returns.

Please note that this template is used across a number of applications. As such there are a number of different url variables in play here so I cannot just check for a specific variable.

The current workaround for this is to log in and then open the link with the variables again. Of course this is more difficult for the users so I need to find a better way.

You're looking for CGI.QUERY_STRING. You could try something like:

<cfif CGI.QUERY_STRING IS NOT "">
  <cfset Whatever = "#CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#?#CGI.QUERY_STRING#">
</cfif>

Or, an easier way would to be just treat the entire url string as a list, and if there is a query string, add it.

<cfset Whatever = listappend(cgi.script_name,cgi.query_string,"?")>

Hope This Helps!
