ColdFusion application processing This diagram shows how ColdFusion works when a web browser invokes a ColdFusion page. When a user clicks a 'Submit' button on a form or a hypertext link on a page, the user's web browser sends an HTTP request to the web server via the internet or an intranet. ColdFusion reads the data from the client and processes the CFML in the page. Based on CFML, the server interacts with database servers, file systems and mail servers.
