Providing a URL that consumes an entire web worker for >1 minute is a good way to open yourself up for a DOS attack - even 10 seconds is too long really. Put lengthy operations in to a queue - like django-celery - so that you can manage how much of your resources that task consumes, and poll for completion with AJAX.
