I haven't tried this, but couldn't you run it in a hidden frame of a frameset?

I want to start the process and then redirect the browser to a "your report is being created" page. Try as I might, I can't get the report started without the browser being forced to wait at some point for the report to be finished. The report generation needs to be triggered on-demand. Updating a CFSCHEDULE and then running it straight away doesn't seem to work (I guess because it must be set at least 15 minutes in the future). Calling the report making template via CFHTTP before using CFLOCATION doesn't work, as the page sits there until the report is finished before redirecting. Using CFHTTP at the end of the "your report is being created" also makes that page take forever to be rendered. If I was using CF5, I guess I could CFFLUSH the page before doing CFHTTP last, but we're stuck with v4.0.1. I can't call CFML.EXE via a URL and CFEXECUTE is only 4.5+. Any ideas? I've run out...
