Fun way to break attributeCollection in ColdFusion 8
Ok, so I love the new attributeCollection feature of ColdFusion 8. Here is a simple example:
<cfset s = {url="http://cnn.com", result="result"}>
<cfhttp attributeCollection="#s#">
But for the heck of it, I tried something a bit crazy:
<cfset s = {url="http://cnn.com", result="result"}>
<cfset s.attributeCollection=structNew()>
<cfhttp attributeCollection="#s#">
I wasn't sure what it would do. My guess is that it would apply attributeCollection as an attribute and complain that it wasn't valid. Or I thought maybe it work recursively. Well, not sure if "recursive" is right - but I thought it would apply the top level struct as attributes, then reapply the empty attributeCollection struct.
Nope - it just throws a JRun Servlet Error. So a total waste of time - but I thought I'd share.
