History
ColdFusion (2025 release): Removed the statusText attribute. See Deprecated features in ColdFusion for more information.
ColdFusion MX 6.1: Changed behavior for the name attribute: cfheader name="Content-Disposition" uses the default file character encoding to encode this header's value, so the name of a file can include characters in the character encoding used in the file.
Attributes
Attribute | Req/Opt | Default | Description |
charset | Optional | UTF-8 | The character encoding in which to encode the header value. The following list includes commonly used values:
|
name | Required if statusCode not specified | Header name. | |
statusCode | Required if name not specified | Number. HTTP status code. | |
value | Optional | HTTP header value. |
Usage
If you use this tag after the cfflush tag on a page, an error is thrown.
