Need help with strange error message

On my server, I have the system set to e-mail me all of the errors that occur. I've got my 'page to run with an error' set globally in the CF Administrator, and the template it runs sends me an e-mail.

Typically I used to get about 2-3 errors per week, which I don't think is too bad for a server that gets a few hundred thousand hits per month.


I switched to CFMX 7.0 somewhat recently, and now I get a new error that comes in pretty frequently- like 50-150 times per day. I don't think the error is caused by CFMX, but I am hoping that there is a way to fix it. The error I get looks like this:


Template=/mbership/credentialing/EXAM/http:/
Referer=

Browser=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)


Message=The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect


Query=

Diagnostics=The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect null
The error occurred on line -1.


The diagnostics section leads me to believe that it can't find the template. Basically, the problem is the path to the template is incorrect- this is occuring because instead of it is requesting https:/ (only one '/' instead of two). So, I would think that this is a missing template- yet it is not handled by the missing template handler, also set up in the CF Administrator.


First, I've searched everywhere on the server for some place that would actually have this link entered incorrectly- I can't find it anywhere.


Also, it looks like the referrer is sometimes blank,


I could just filter the page sending the e-mails, but I was actually wondering why this doesn't get caught by the missing template error handler. And, I was wondering how I could give them a better error- more like a 404. I'm hoping to get these e-mails to stop.

Thanks for any responses,

Jim
