Well, I was hoping someone could provide a more thoughtful response but
alas, my half baked ideas will have to do. You can use any scripting
language your web server supports that allows you to call external
applications.

The easiest way is to use files to pass your parameters and output back
and forth. You would have some sort of template .pro file that would
get certain fields filled in according to how your user parameterizes
your application (one of which is the unique ID for this users session),
then you call IDL and run that file which will create an output file in
a temp directory someplace with a name based on that unique ID (you will
also need to set an "at" job to delete the file after a certain period
of time). your web application will then wait for this file to be
created and then load it up in the output page.

A more elegant approach would be something similar to the file posted in
this link. While at the time I saved a copy of this, I have never used it.
