It is perfectly fine to create threads from an HTTP handler.  Just,
it should be the initial handler thread that sends back the result
to the client because it has its I/O setup specially to cooperate
with the HTTP server infrastructure.  So, the other threads should
send their (partial) data to a message queue.  If you can, use the
high level concurrent/3 and concurrent_maplist/N predicates.
