Matt Quackenbush submitted this unusual behavior a few days ago and I was finally able to reproduce and fix today. Here is his excerpt:

If I browse to http://localhost/myApp/index.cfm/main/dspHome (or any other explicitly-called event), everything is good to go. However, if I browse to http://localhost/myApp/ or http://localhost/myApp/index.cfm, an exception is thrown that says: The event handler: index.cfm.dspHome is not valid registered event.

The problem was the cleaning of the path info and cgi script name in the ses interceptor. The fix is on SVN and also attached to this post. It is a single file ses.cfc Just grab it and overwrite the original ses.cfc interceptor in your coldbox installation, which can be found at:

/coldbox/system/interceptors/ses.cfc

That's it folks. This bug has also been registered and will be available on the daily builds, SVN and the next major milestone. I will also be updating the 2.5.1 build with the updated file.

🔎 Introducing bx-meilisearch: Blazing-Fast Search for BoxLang Applications

Search is one of those features that can make or break an application. Users expect it to be instant, forgiving of typos, and smart about relevance. Building that experience from scratch is a significant investment. That is exactly why we built bx-meilisearch — a BoxLang-native module that puts the full power of Meilisearch at your fingertips with a fluent, chainable DSL that feels right at home in any BoxLang application.
