My employer uses fuse - so I'm real interested in issues like this. To
answer the original question -- one way to fake a querystring it to use
the  <CF_FORMURL2ATTRIBUTES> custom tag - it's described here (and many
other places I suppose):

Jeff, your experience is interesting, but perplexing. There may be other
issues impacting the behavior you saw, again perplexing.

I have to say, Apache's mod_rewrite kicks ass, and if someone provided
functionality comparable for IIS I'd be a very happy man. All this
mucking about in the programming seems lost time given the power of
mod_rewrite. I find it frustrating that there's nothing comparable for
IIS side.
