We moved our site from one domain to another  in the application.cfm on the old domain I analyze incoming CGI.SCRIPT_NAME, divide URL into composite parts and form new links into  tmpRedirectPath variable and after that make redirect to new links using new domain name:

<cfheader statuscode="301" statustext="Moved permanently">
<cfheader name="location" value="http://www.newsite.com/#tmpRedirectPath#">

Everything works, BUT in the address line of browser stay old URL.

Why this happend? Could I do something to change URL to new together with redirect?

    Curious.  Are you seeing this on all browsers?

    Can you post some code that demonstrates this?

    Here is the code that present in the application.cfm on the old domain:

    <cfset tmpRedirectPath = "">
    <cfif Find("topic.cfm",CGI.SCRIPT_NAME) and isDefined("URL.topicID") and (ListFind("2,12,13,15,16,17,18,19,21,25,28",val(URL.topicID)))>
        <cfswitch expression="#val(URL.topicID)#">
            <cfcase value="18"><cfset tmpRedirectPath = "topic-seo-name-first/"></cfcase>
            ...
            <cfcase value="25"><cfset tmpRedirectPath = "topic-seo-name-second/"></cfcase>
        </cfswitch>
    <cfelseif (Find("categories.cfm",CGI.SCRIPT_NAME) or Find("categoriesABC.cfm",CGI.SCRIPT_NAME)) and isDefined("URL.catID")>
        <cfquery name="qry_Sel">...</cfquery>
        <cfset tmpRedirectPath = qry_Sel.pageLink>
    <cfelseif Find("links.cfm",CGI.SCRIPT_NAME)>
        <cfset tmpRedirectPath = "new-links-page.cfm">
    </cfif>

    <cfheader statuscode="301" statustext="Moved permanently">
    <cfheader name="location" value="http://www.NewSite.com/#tmpRedirectPath#">
    <cfabort>
