Um, why not just define lynx as your url-viewer on that remote machine
and let lynx do its magic.
The original Unix concept was a bunch of small tools that each did one
thing well and a user would pipe them together to get complex tasks done.
I'd rather see al(pine) do a few things (mail/news) well and use external
helpers for auxilary tasks (viewers, etc), than try to become
all-singing-dancing bloat-ware.
Heck, even the Mozilla team split browser/mail-client up when things were
getting out of hand.
