tProblem Description:
This is a follow-up to Bug 3340564 which was implemented in ColdFusion 10 Update 11. The CGI.ALL_HTTP is now being populated and does include CGI variables created by other IIS modules such as the SiteMinder Web Agent.
The problem is that the delimiter is not the same as in ColdFusion 9 and earlier versions. In earlier versions the delimiter between successive NAME:VALUE pairs is a Line Feed (ASCII 0x0A). In ColdFusion 10 Update 11 the delimiter is a Space (ASCII 0x20). This makes it impossible to reliably extract the NAME:VALUE pairs because many values contain spaces. For example, the HTTP_USER_AGENT string often contains embedded spaces, such as:
HTTP_USER-AGENT:Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko)
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a template that dumps the contents of CGI.ALL_HTTP to a file:
<cfdump var="#cgi.all_http#" output="#ExpandPath('.\dump.out')#" format="text">
Open the resulting file in an editor that supports ASCII-to-HEX conversion, such as NotePad++. Examine the delimiter between NAME:VALUE pairs.
Actual Result:
The delimiter is a SPACE character (0x20).
Expected Result:
The delimiter should be a LINEFEED character (0x0A) as in ColdFusion 9 and earlier.
Any Workarounds:
None
