Almost surely the wrong place.

"Timeout on server" message pop ups almost surely come from your
browser.

Even when the browser aborts the request, Zope is still
executing it to the end. Maybe, thats already enough for you?

Otherwise, you can use a non browser HTTP client (e.g. "urllib", "wget",
"curl", ...) to start your long running requests.
It might be necessary to send the request immediately to Zope
(not to any intermediate HTTP proxy) as intermetiate HTTP agents
may have their own timeout policies.
