Reading Custom Headers in CFMX

[Charles R. Thompson]

I'm not sure if this is an IIS or CFMX issue apologies if I'm off base. I
have a custom middleware application running between the browser and an IIS
server running CFMX. In IIS' HTTP Header page I am inserting a custom header
for all requests called

assume_role

Where the value is 1

I cannot get this value when doing a dump of the headers from CFML. It also
does not appear in the list of ALL_HTTP as some documentation states is my
second place to check if I can't get it directly. Any ideas?

Make sure if IIS is acturely sending the header.

Ok.. did a little more legwork. I need a way to insert 'Request' headers
into page redirect so I can evaluate that information in a validation page.
Something like:

<cfheader name="myname" value="charles">
<cflocation url="vars.cfm">


Then in vars.cfm be able to retrieve the header myname as a 'request' (not
response) object. I can see in my http traces that it only gets added to the
response each time.

Can I do this somehow manually in the CFMX configuration XML files? It's
just for temporary testing so however I have to hack it is fine.

Scratch all this. I ended up using Proxomitron to fake the Request headers
required for testing. Appears to work fine.
