  1. POHow do I get the ENTIRE URL as seen in the browser without JS?
    text
    copied!<p>I have an application I'm building in ColdFusion, whereby all requests will run through the index.cfm file.</p> <p>I have a .htaccess file that rewrites the URL. So, for example...if I write:</p> <p><a href="http://domain.com/hello/goodbye/howdy" rel="nofollow">http://domain.com/hello/goodbye/howdy</a></p> <p>The actual request always uses index.cfm like so:</p> <p><a href="http://domain.com/index.cfm/hello/goodbye/howdy" rel="nofollow">http://domain.com/index.cfm/hello/goodbye/howdy</a></p> <p>This all works great, but now I'm stuck with how I can grab everything that is in the URL. Not one of the CGI variables don't seem to output the "/hello/goodbye/howdy" part of the URL.</p> <p>I have tried cgi.path_info and cgi.query_string etc to no avail...they're just blank. </p> <p>I need to grab everything that comes after the domain name, and do stuff in CF with it. I know it's possible in JS, but I really need this on the server.</p> <p>Dumping the CGI scope shows me nothing useful in this regard:</p> <pre><code>&lt;cfdump var="#cgi#" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here's my htaccess file for reference:</p> <pre><code>&lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt; RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.cfm$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.cfm [L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^([^\.]+)\.domain\.com RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] &lt;/IfModule&gt; </code></pre> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>As an additional note, I've also tried the underlying Java methods like so:</p> <pre><code>&lt;cfdump var="#getPageContext().getRequest().getContextPath()#" /&gt; &lt;cfdump var="#getPageContext().getRequest().getRequestURL()#" /&gt; &lt;cfdump var="#getPageContext().getRequest().getQueryString()#" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>To no success :(</p>
 

Querying!
