The answer is going to greatly depend on what it is that you mean by "let it run on a web application". If it means what I think it means, then no. Unless you want an application that runs on the server without any user intervention.

My 5 for referencing this presumably pretty tricky article. Still, I think that the first part of your answer ("generally, no") is much stronger compared to tentative suggestion of using this tricky technique. And I would not trust the quality final result much.

Thanks Sergey!
People don't like to hear "no", and in our industry **anything** is possible given enough time and effort, but it is out of the reach of most of us.

"Anything" is a great exaggeration.

Compare those who discovered energy conservation law and those who wasted their lives inventing perpetuum mobile...
The ability to say "no" is one of the most difficult and important skills in this art.
