Upgraded to CF 10 - site won't load w/out index.cfm

In order to get IIS 7.5 to work with CF 9 without appending the default document (index.cfm) I had to install URL Rewrite on the IIS server.  Basically it just appends index.cfm to the url when it is not included.  Kind of a hack I guess but that is the only way I could get it to work.  It's free.

Here are the settings that the module appended to our web.config file:

        <rewrite>

            <rules>

                <rule name="Insert index.cfm" stopProcessing="true">

                    <match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="true" negate="false" />

                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">

                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />

                    </conditions>

                    <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:0}/index.cfm" appendQueryString="true" />

                </rule>

            </rules>

        </rewrite>

Make sure the web connector properly installed the wildcard mappings.  In IIS Manager, click on the server (not any of the sites), and then open the Handler Mappings feature.  You should have some entries like this:

Also make sure that the "tomcat" ISAPI filter is installed.  Again, click on the server (not any of the sites), and then open the ISAPI Filters feature.  It should look something like:

The ISAPI filter is what handles the URL's with no explicit filename/extension.
