Hello, I am trying to make a custom router. For this I am trying to grab the user requested URL from the

application.cfc

. The problem is when a invalid directory or URL is received

lucee

directly throwing

404 page

. I just want to get the requested URL and bypass this

404 error

. Can anyone here help me with by telling me how should I proceed?

I would maybe take a look at how other routers do things, as there's a few examples of them with the various frameworks out there, and a few ways to work it, from using the request cycle, to doing something "onError"

I have tried to look how

ColdBox

have solved the problem but did not actually got it as I am very new to CF. Also, I have found

onMissingTemplate()

that will only let you know if any

*.cfm

file is not found but no luck with the URL.

I believe that

onRequestStart

is called regardless of if the template exists or not

Thank you but this doesn't solve the issue as my problem is with

URL

and not with the template

*.cfm

. For example, if I have a URL like

localhost:8888/hello

note that this directory doesn't exist and if I run the server and try to visit the URL, the

onRequest()

will not dump anything and will somehow redirected to the

404 page

. No way I am able to grab the URL because of that.

Ah, that's going to be up to how you have your web server configured, you probably do want rewrites, so maybe look into commandbox and how it does rewrites?

Yes I have already tried to

URL Rewrite

taking help from here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61541516/how-to-implement-urlrewrite-in-lucee . But no luck so far and I am not sure how to redirect all the request to

Application.cfc

. Do you have any idea?
