Routing External Links Through An Intermediary Page In ColdFusion

Read Original

This article explains how to implement an external link interception pattern in ColdFusion, similar to what LinkedIn uses for user-generated content. It covers the workflow of detecting external links in rendered HTML, rewriting their href attributes to point to an intermediary page, and displaying a warning to users before they leave the site. The author provides ColdFusion code examples, discusses runtime interception versus database persistence, and demonstrates the pattern using a poetry app called Big Sexy Poems. This is a technical tutorial focused on web development and security best practices.
