From your description it seems that what you require is HTTP server-side code to
access a database to find the relevant satellite image and return it to the web
client (browser). You could do this using CGI (PHP or Perl would probably be
the easiest) or some more complicated solution using web services such as Java
and a servlet engine (e.g. Tomcat).

I don't see where IDL fits into this. I expect that you could use IDL in the CGI
script and get it to access the database, fetch an image and send it to the
client. But it's hardly the right tool for the job.
