Ok here is a test, try going to Helicon Tech and getting the mode rewrite. The trial last 30 days I think it is, but try that and see if you get the same results. It is certainly not ColdFusion, unless as Brad said, after updaing ColdFusion you haven’t removed and reinstalled the connectors.
In the meantime, I am going to fire up a new VM and see if I can duplicate it.
Unfortunately that is our sysadmin’s department and I can’t justify installing the helicon trial unless we are considering buying and using it. Which we aren’t since it is working as is. However that being said, this is a common issue for users with CF10 and IIS7.5. We saw it a bunch on the cfwheels mailing list and once we patched the cgi.path_info function to look elsewhere it fixed it for everyone.

How is it a common issue Tim, I run around 10-15 different VM’s with Windows 2008 R2 with IIS 7.5 and ColdFusion 10 and haven’t seen this issue at all. Oh wait, I saw it once, when I forgot to uninstall and reinstall the connectors.
That’s just my experience. Just saw another post in the mailing list last week so whether its a connector issue or not you still have people seriously confused. Why not just simply put the solution in the code and make life easier for someone?

And if you click on the very first link on that search, you will see the conversation on the Adobe forums where an Adobe engineer, repeats himself. Saying that the issue is not a bug.
I get what you’re saying. And I personally am having no issues, I just keep seeing this come up over and over. Just want to prevent it from coming up in the first place.
Yea and if you read all the comments and solutions all over the net, you will see people forgetting to remove the connectors and reinstall…
I have read 10 posts now where that has fixed peoples issues…
And the big green tick here says it all.

So if you are having no issues Tim, why such a big deal to have code changed to fix something that is not there?
It is the connector. Fixed all my rewritting issues.
Thanks for clarifying.
The reason I am not having issues is because of the solution I mentioned earlier.
Also you had asked if I had reconfigured the IIS connector, which I had back when I installed Update 5. I didn’t realize you were talking about Update 11, which we have not installed yet (we haven’t had time to do all the testing). I have been dealing with this since May 2012 however its nice to know that the issue was finally fixed in July.
