Assuming you mean you're uploading data from a client, I'd just write
that to a temp file with a unique name, with minimal processing, and
then rerun yourself supplying that file name as an argument so the
rerun can open the file and do the full processing.

(But note that on Unix I think temp files are deleted as soon as they
are opened, so that they are visible only to the process that created
them and they vanish when closed! So you may need to construct
a unique name by hand, e.g. epoch time and PID concatenated,
and open the temp file explicitly via fopen().)

The general idea is to do the minimum amount of work in the HTTP
stage to get yourself set up, and then do the time-consuming donkey
work in the asynchronous rerun.
