I'm pleased to report that I've got it working. John's example was most
useful: the only thing I had to tweak was to use _call instead of
_call_with_body_bytes (which doesn't actually exist).

Before moving it to a server-side procedure, this operation took more
than 30 minutes to run for me over a WAN connection. Now it runs in 1.5
minutes, which is a massive improvement.

Thanks again!
