This is my point: you don't.  Either build the required information
into the product, download raw information and format and display it
however you want, or construct it on the fly using a CGI application
on the server.

Assuming that a system has a correctly configured browser is just a
recipe for a tech support nightmare, not to mention all the
vendor/version incompatibility problems you open yourself to if you're
so brave (or so foolish) as to point them at sites not under your
direct control.  Which is why we do not, and will not, support this as
a built-in feature of MetaCard.
