_modcfmlredirected

[ivanionut]

Hi,
I'm using the following stack: nginx 1.6.0 & tomcat9, lucee 5.3 and mod_cfml-valve_v1.1.09.jar

At the first access (for example after restarting the server) I get this redirect:

http://www.website.com/index.cfm?&_modcfmlredirected

How can I avoid it?
thank you!

Hello,

The _modcfmlredirected value is a new feature of the latest release that helps prevent race conditions on some high-traffic sites.

@paulklinkenberg I wonder if we could track this internally somehow, so that it doesn't interfere with a user's URI? Something like a memory-based table of contexts that are currently being processed? If nothing else, we could potentially make this a configurable variable that can be set in the valve config in the server.xml file.

Hi there! Yes, we could make this value anything we want. It is a bit annoying that the redirect is even necessary, and then adding something to the url sucks even more. But I haven't figured out a better way, and it prevents actual situations where users previously had a 500 error returned.
The url value could be any string which is not often found at the end of a query string, e.g. 2 low-dashes "&__" or "&_redir" or whatever.

Then again, is this really an issue? Does it bother anyone? Or is it just us developers and nerds who think something of it?

Turned out, the url parameter was not necessary in 99% of cases. I updated the code already, will do a PR in a day or so.
Doing another improvement as well, for the Apache module, which is not finished yet.

Nice. I like that you made the redirect string configurable. Thank you for your work on this Paul!
