CFC problem ??

and you can significantly simplify your code by using ListLast() function:

<cffunction name="get" access="public" returntype="string">
<cfhttp url="https://www.memberst.com/Programs/Redirector.aspx?cid=2081"
redirect="no" port="443"></cfhttp>
<cfreturn listlast(cfhttp.responseHeader.Location, "=")>
</cffunction>

make sure you add some error handling in there in case of netwrok
errors/request timeout/requested url unavailable/etc

you need the <cfdump> INSIDE the function, not after it!

Its on a hosted solution, so no, I can't get access to the server.....

Then the <cfhttp...> request is not completing.

Can you do this request manually from the ColdFusion server as the
ColdFusion user?

I get:
Variable CFHTTP is undefined

When the CFC is written as:
<cfcomponent displayname="getURL">
<cffunction name="get" access="public" returntype="string">
<cfhttp
url="https://www.memberst.com/Programs/Redirector.aspx?cid=2081"
redirect="no" port="443"></cfhttp>
<cfset wholeStringLength=len(cfhttp.responseHeader.Location)>
<cfset urlString=findnocase("=",cfhttp.responseHeader.Location)>
<cfset returnString=trim(mid(cfhttp.responseHeader.Location,(urlString
+ 1),wholeStringLength))>

<cfreturn returnString>
</cffunction>
<cfdump var="#cfhttp#">
</cfcomponent>

Well yes.

<cfhttp....></cfhttp>
<cfdump var="#cfhttp#"><cfabort>

And see if what you see provides in clues.

So, if I change the CFC to:

<cfcomponent displayname="getURL">
<cffunction name="get" access="public" returntype="string">
<cfhttp
url="https://www.memberst.com/Programs/Redirector.aspx?cid=2081"
redirect="no" port="443"></cfhttp>
<cfset wholeStringLength=len(cfhttp.responseHeader.Location)>
<cfset urlString=findnocase("=",cfhttp.responseHeader.Location)>
<cfset returnString=trim(mid(cfhttp.responseHeader.Location,(urlString
+ 1),wholeStringLength))>

<cfreturn returnString>
</cffunction>
<cfdump var="#cfhttp.responseHeader#">
</cfcomponent>

I get:
Element RESPONSEHEADER is undefined in CFHTTP.

So you're saying do a <cfdump> in the CFC??

Dump out the response in your function to make sure ColdFusion is
getting the same response as you do as ColdFusion is most likely not
running with the same permissions that you have and that can greatly
affect the outcomes of requests like this.

And I am to rushed to even consider rewording that run on sentence.
