Question

cgi.http_url blank output

Yesterday morning I updated CF11 to update8, on a windows 2012, iis 8 box.

As I was reviewing one of my application logs, I noticed that from the time the server updated and forward that one of my values went blank.

CGI.http_URL was tracked on session start as part of my marketing logs.  It is no longer tracking as of Update 8.  I have tried to rollback to update 7 but that did not resolve my issue.

Upon googling, I see that this use to be an issue that was fixed and appears to have returned with the new Update.

Bug#3758070 - CGI.HTTP_URL Missing when using IIS

Obviously there must be something else that the CFAdmin rollback feature didn't roll back.

Is there anything that can be manually updated until its fixed again?

    @steven, Yes, i could reproduce he issue with default document as in Bug#4097008

    I saw this behaviour on update 8 as well. Could you please let us know what was your previous update before applying update 8?

    I think you nailed it.  I think its related to that.  The routine in question is also part of my Mura CMS install, a custom plugin.  Nothing in my code base has changed, but the update changed my environment.

    Hi, thanks I have.

    on a sample url such as

    xyz.com/test/?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=PPC

    my <cfdump var="#cgi#">

    is showing HTTP_URL: [empty string]

    where prior to running the upgrade it was showing

    http://xyz.com/tes/?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=PPC

    Hi Steven,

    Looks like update has not been applied properly.

    What was your previous update level before applying update 8 ?

    Can you please send your CF administrator settings summary and Adobe_ColdFusion_11_Update_8_Install_Date log (location: ColdFusion11\cfusion\hf-updates\hf-11-00008) to cf.install@adobe.com

    Thanks,

    Rahul

    Hi Steven,

    This works at my end on update 8.

    Try dumping

    <cfdump var ="#CGI#">

    or

    <cfdump var ="#CGI.HTTP_URL#">

    Thanks,

    Rahul
