(this is a cross-posting of a question I asked on Server Fault: ColdFusion fails to include custom HTTP response header set in IIS 8.5 - Server Fault)
I have a Windows 2012 R2 server running IIS 8.5 and ColdFusion 11. Under a specific directory ("mydirectory") I added an HTTP Response Header (Name: X-ResponseHeader, Value: Test). The resulting web.config section looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<httpProtocol>
<customHeaders>
<add name="X-ResponseHeader" value="Test" />
</customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
I created several test files:
I used curl -I
to request the files and examine the response headers:
X-ResponseHeader: Test
X-ResponseHeader: Test
Additionally, a request for a non-existent .cfm file does not include the header, but a request for a non-existent .png file does. Therefore I suspect that the ColdFusion handler is ignoring or removing the header, but I am not sure why.
Also of note: if I set a custom header at the site level in IIS, rather than at the folder level, the custom header is included in all cases.

I can no longer replicate this behavior. This was the bane of my existence 2 weeks ago and now it seems to be working...!

I am able to replicate it on CF11 with IIS7.5
I notice that the default document shows the header when called. If you defined the page (i.e. page.cfm) the header doesnt show.
