CFLock Name Is Case-Insensitive In ColdFusion

Read Original

This article explores whether the name attribute of the CFLock tag in ColdFusion is case-sensitive. The author tests this by creating two templates that acquire exclusive locks with the same name but different casing (uppercase vs lowercase). Running them concurrently shows the second lock blocks and waits, confirming case-insensitivity. This is relevant for developers using ColdFusion, especially when lock names are partially user-driven, to avoid unintended blocking.
