It's missing some functionality ... how does it know which event has to be secured? It should secure only specific events, and force unsecured requests for the rest. something like

if not isSsl and requireSll then cflocate to https

if isSsl and not requireSll then cflocate to http

Your ColdFusion Upgrade Passed. Did Your Business Workflows?

The server restarted. The administrator shows the expected version. Your homepage loads, and a few familiar screens look fine.

Would you tell the business the upgrade is complete?

Consider an illustrative scenario: a customer submits an order after an upgrade. The application saves it and displays a confirmation page. But the confirmation email never arrives, and the scheduled process that sends the order to fulfillment has not completed.

From the browser, the transaction...
