CF8 has stopped populating form scope
G'day
For reasons that escape (and somewhat bamboozle ~) me, my CF8 server (just using the internal JWS for the web server) has stopped populating the form scope when a form is submitted. Say I run this code:
<cfdump var="#form#">
<form action="<cfoutput>#CGI.script_name#</cfoutput>" method="post" name="frm1">
<input type="text" name="txt1" value="" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="btnSubmit1" value="Submit" />
</form>
When I submit the form, I simply get the dump outputting an empty struct. I have verified that the HTTP request is being made properly: it's a POST, and the form field/value pairs are in there too. Just nothing in the form scope.
I'm pretty sure there's no "stop the form scope from working" setting in CF, and I cannot find anything that might contribute to such behaviour. And, also, I've not changed anything in the environment recently (although I would say that, obviously 😉
It's not some weirdness with an Application.cf(c|m) buggering things up, as I have a blocking Application.cfm in the same dir as the file. So the first line of CF code that gets executed is the <cfdump>. I have a 99.9% certainty it is nothing in the code causing this. Plus the above is just my repro case. The actual form I'm working on is in a completely different directory subtree, with no common ancestor to the one my test code is in, and - indeed - no commonality of code.
I have stop/started CF a couple of times.
There is nothing wrong with the form that I can see, and BlueDragon serves the form up (and has its form scope populated) no problems.
And when I was working on this code the day before y/day, it all worked fine on CF8 then.
Weird.
Any ideas of where to look to check what might be going on?
Cheers for any suggestions.
