TrackingURLs - A ColdFusion function to parse Shipping Tracking Numbers

Just a quick post regarding TrackingURLs, a ColdFusion CFC to identify shipping tracking numbers (UPS, USPS, Fedex, OnTrac, DHL, S10) and generate a tracking URL.

Sample Integration

<cfset TrackingURLs = new TrackingURLs()>

<cfset result = TrackingURLs.getTrackingInfo(Form.TrackingNumber)>
<cfif request.isURL(result.url)>
       <cf_newlocation url="#result.url#">
<cfelse>
       <cfoutput>
              <p>Sorry. Tracking number "#EncodeForHTML(Form.TrackingNumber)#" seems invalid.</p>
       </cfoutput>
</cfif>

"Sounds interesting! Could you provide more details or perhaps a brief overview of how the jrs tracking example URLs ColdFusion function works? Thanks!"

[James Moberg]

The ColdFusion TreackingURL CFC doesn't currently support "JRS Tracking". Are you requesting support that support be added? If so, I'll need to see a pattern of their "Philippines JRS Express Tracking number / Airbill No / OR Number / BC number" in order to add support. Are their tracking numbers distinct from other services?
