Not unmodified unless you use Windows Terminal Server.
However, Rick Strahl has created tools to allow you do to this for client server applications. He has a class (I think called wwHttpData) as part of West Wind Web Connection that lets you sedn SQL to a VFP server across HTTP and have the server return an encoded cursor that you decode at the client end. If you have licenses to DynaZip at both ends, the data can be zipped and unzipped dynamically, thus greatly improving the performance.
Note that we're not talking about using an app unmodified here, but we're not talking HTML either.
