I have this issue also on long running requests that create files. What I
did (with some help from this list) is create a second cfm page that
actually does the work and call it from the page that informs the user
that the request is being performed. When it's done, I send an email to
the user letting them know where to download their file from:
In the page manifest.cfm (where they set their parameters), the action
looks like this:
I have to "create" the querystring using the passed variables (form or
otherwise). The trick is in the cfexecute statement, which spawns off, so
the requesting page doesn't wait for it...
<CFSET
querystring="bypass=1&locstart=#locstart#&locend=#locend#&createfile=1&emai=
#email#&minqty=#minqty#&listedat=#listedat#&condition=#condition#&pro
ducttype=#producttype#">
<CFEXECUTE NAME="d:\web\cfusion\bin\cfml.exe"
ARGUMENTS="d:\web\lviss.hitmenow.com\manifest.process.cfm
#querystring#"
TIMEOUT="0"></CFEXECUTE>
<CFOUTPUT>
<P>Thank you. Your manifest is being created.
You will be emailed at <B>#email#</B> when the
file is ready for download.</P>
</CFOUTPUT>
