What about a kind of recursion? You have another, non-public, url within your servlet space. You call it (url-generator), it creates the url-generator to the cgi-bin routine, parses the results, stores the state in a session variable, then redirects to itself -- unless its work is done. Storing the temporary results is probably the challenge.
