There is one inelegant and not very useful way to do this.
Here it goes :
- set up an error template in the application.cfm with <CFERROR
TYPE="EXCEPTION" TEMPLATE="my_error_template.cfm">
- in the OnRequestEnd.cfm template after any content generating tags,
intentionally create an error.
- the error template will pick up the error and the whole GeneratedContent
will be available in the Error scope for you to use
This is not very useful as the browser will show the url of the error
template..

No, it's not a dumb question, and you probably won't kick yourself.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to retrieve this generated
content from within the scope of the request itself. This is quite sad,
because you know that it's there, of course, and you can even see it when
you use Studio's interactive debugger, so it's exposed in some way. It's
just not exposed in any way that you, as a CF programmer, can make use of
it.
It would be nice to have this, though, if for no other reason than that
CFCACHE could be done without an HTTP request.
