I am not 100% sure this is a Cf bug anymore,I thought all servers tested had the same setup with the exception of CF version, but have since seen different behaviour on the same servers so it is likely an issue with IIS.

Chris, I don't see the querystr part in the output for CGI.http_url for CF11 at all with the URL in the bug report and the test code: writeOutput("CGI.http_url: " & CGI.http_url & "<br>"); Here's platform I tried this on: CF 11,0,05,293506 on windows server 2008 R2 / IIS 7.5 - connector reconfigured post u5. CF 9 : CF 9,0,0,251028 / windows server 2008 R2 / IIS 7.5 This is at odds with your observation. Can you please share the OS, the webserver and CF version (with update level and build no.) You tried this on?

Odd i now get the same functionality that you see, The example above is not exactly how i use the functionality it just always used to work that way. I use it in the following manner index.cfm/place/Connah%27s%20Quay or index.cfm/key/value. CGI.http_url should contain the querystring and anything else sent to the webserver as i understand (have seen hashes passed as well before). The only documentation for it i have found though is for IIS 6 https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms524602%28v=vs.90%29.aspx, although when using CF 9 with IIS 7 it also worked fine. My setup getting the same results as you is CF11 update 5 with connectors reconfigured + IIS 7.5 on windows 7 (dev machine).

Hi Piyush, CGI.HTTP_URL returns [empty string] for me in IIS 10 w/ CF11 Update 7 (build 11,0,07,296330) and isapi_redirect.dll v.1.2.41.0 dated "Thursday, ?September ?10, ?2015, ??11:54:16 AM". It should return a value, including properly-encoded query string, right? Thanks!, -Aaron
