Question

I am just considering a scenario where someone might give Application.cfc in a url. I know this will not work as it is reserved by ColdFusion engine and user will see an error.

Is it possible to redirect user in such scenario?

Answer 1

I just successfully caught it with a site-wide error handler. Is that a viable solution for you?

Small update, figured this out:

<cftry>
    <cfif error.Message EQ "Invalid request of Application.cfm, Application.cfc, or OnRequestEnd.cfm file.">
        <cflocation url="#getContextRoot()#/#getDirectoryFromPath(error.Template)#">
    </cfif>
    <cfcatch>that didn't work</cfcatch>
</cftry>
