I just have a simple script that takes an URL -> dumps into a file ->
generates a html page -> I can view that page -> once done can delete
URL.

As for standard protocol doubt you could find something like that. But
any solution would require some client-server or even better p2p
solution. Though a simple solution could be a ssh port forward with
socat/netcat on both ends... and one end feeding it the other sending it
to the clipboard or if desired direct to the browser.

I'm actually working on something like this using socat but there is no
real definition yet.
