From longtable documentation:
Note however that
footnotewill not work in the ‘head’ or ‘foot’
sections of the table. In order to put a footnote in those sections
(e.g., inside a caption), usefootnotemarkat that point, and
footnotetextanywhere in the table body that will fall on the same
page.
Hence the MWE will be
documentclass{article}
usepackage{longtable}
begin{document}
begin{longtable}{|c|}
caption[Table is very long]{Table is very longprotectfootnotemark}\ %<------footnote mark here
hline
Something footnotetext{This is a caption} \ %<------footnote text here
hline
end{longtable}
end{document}
Edit: Added short caption as per Gonzalo's suggestion. With short caption added, protect won't be necessary.

It could be sensible to use the optional argument ofcaption, as incaption[Table is very long]{Table is very longprotectfootnotemark}to prevent the mark from having a wrong numbering in the text and from appearing also in a possible list of figures

I am trying this as well. My documentclass is report. It returns errors if I don't use protect. It does not produce any notes either with protectfootnotetext or with protectfootnotemark.
