I don't think this feature is worth the added complexity, it's essentially trying to turn micro into HTTP/FTP client. I would be unpleasantly surprised to find out micro www.example.com downloads a web page instead of just editing a file called www.example.com.

And you can already do curl -L <url> | micro to achieve the same thing.
