So I have a site that I'm looking to encode a URL for.
I got it to encode and decode correctly... But when I type into my
browser...
http://127.0.0.1/Ubersite/wwwroot/index.cfm?fuseaction=IncomingMessage&Test=37018E9A8E921C801280885E
The browser redirects to
http://127.0.0.1/Ubersite/wwwroot/index.cfm?fuseaction=IncomingMessage&question=Why
am I here?
Which is what the code stands for when decrypted ("&question=Why am I
here?")
How can I stop this behavior and not let the user see the code deconverted?

Nevermind. Sent that a bit to fast. :) There was a "cflocation" in there
that I didn't see. :)

URL Encode and decode is not for obscuring URLs from users... it for passing
around URL data when there's spaces an stuff in it... Like I want to
retrieve a pdf name "My PDF File.pdf", so I encode the file name and get
www.mysite.com?myfile=My%20PDF%20File.pdf
It also sound like maybe your program or IIS has a redirect in it... because
going from ?fuseaction=IncomingMessage&Test to
fuseaction=IncomingMessage&question= ... note Test changed to question...
that's more than URL decode. That looks like a purposeful redirect.
What exactly are you trying to do?

It's encrypted before it's urlencoded. :)
But like I said, it was a cflocation I didn't realize was there. False
alarm. :)
