Randall, this worked fine with one exception:

I had to replace $uri->query with $uri->query_form($key=>$text)

As it stands I also had to replace the imager.cfm with an imageform.cgi,
as there was no way to force Cold Fusion to clean up the
string before calling the image maker.(At least not a method
that I am aware of yet.)

Thanks for all the help, everyone!
