I do agree, but this is a usability question first of all. Secondly I agree that I might have the class that are generating the report wrapped as a thread and then having some ajax come ask if the thread is done until it is done and then generate the link to the temporary storing url, and showing it on the page. This would also allow a cancel button to be added
This way the user could be shown a revolving gif until a ajax call replaced it with the link.
