Sorry for my nondescript answer yesterday but I didn't have the exact
answer in front of me.
Use cfhttp in your kickstart template to make a post to the action
template with a timeout=1.

CFHTTP with a timeout of 1? Hmm. I got it working with CFEXECUTE (Timeout
0), but ultimately CFHTTP may be easier to use (because I can pump some
cookie variables into it)...

I don't know how this will work if you are running both templates on
the same server. We had the kickstart template on the webserver and the
action template on a different machine.

If you are running CF5, just use CFFLUSH.

Have you tried cfflush? I believe this tag will allow you to send partial
responses to the browser. I might have spelled it wrong, but I am sure
there is a function in CF.

Could you send some javascript to the browser with CFFLUSH that does a
redirect?
script language=javascript
you are wanting the browser to make a request for a file but not wait for
the file to be retrieved? if so, I don't think that's feasible. a general
solution for the problem of generating the email would be to have a img
src=createfile.cfm that can send out the email and you can show them
whatever
Perhaps you could use the CFSCHEDULE tag to programmatically schedule a job
to run (soon) which generates the file and sends the email? Then the page
that the user sees will be done as soon as the job is scheduled (should be
quick). Though some people hate CFSCHEDULE and I haven't used it much.
Tony;
The scheme I used in the past to do something similar was the following.
Please keep in mind this is pre-version 5 and may no longer be the best
practice.
1) Update a database with the user's id and the details on the page to
generate (any variables passed, etc.). Display a page
Thanks, that sounds good, but I was hoping to not have to use CFSCHEDULE.
Any other ideas?

No, I want the browser to request a page that returns immediately (so the
broswer isn't waiting for a request to be completed and ultimately time
out), but spawns a long-running request that will create the requested
file and then email it to the user...

Tony,
I don't know what OS/platform you are using, but CFEXECUTE should do what
you want.
Recently I was working on this exact problem. The application is a content
management system for an advertising agency. When Jobs are updated,
sometimes HUGE files need to be moved, hundreds of megabytes
I didn't know you could do that with CFEXECUTE, that sounds like it will
work perfectly. I can simply use cfexecute to initiate the cf template
that generates the file... Very cool.
