09/14/2022, 9:17 PM@Adam Cameron I was trying to update a specific endpoint to be consistent with our Node apps and other apis, but I do not have control over the URL or IIS/web.config for rewriting. So I thought I could do something in onRequestStart
jumpmaster
09/14/2022, 9:22 PMIt is working now though
jumpmaster
09/14/2022, 9:36 PMMy new problem is that everything in application.cfm was defined in the variables scope and accessible w/in any other .cfm without a prefix. So transitioning to application.cfc would consist of going through everything and adding application.name or session.name to all of those variables...
