I'm thinking of writing a CGI script that someone can pass some data and set it running. The script may take a few seconds to run. Is it safe/correct/OK to have a CGI script fork, with one thread respondng with a HTTP response while the other thread does its work?
Randal did something similar in this column: http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/col20.html In Randal's case, the user eventually gets a page saying that the background process has finished its task. If your user won't want to see the results, you could omit that part.
