AppDomainfrom being garbage collected while the thread is doing its thing… you may want to separate the long-running task into a separate service – fire off a request to that service, then redirect the user. If you have the concept of an ID for the request, you could include that in the redirect URL as a parameter, and then check whether the service has finished handling the task when the redirect request comes in.
