Suggestion: browser token #60

Ran iclean on a compute node that doesn't have direct access to a browser, so it failed. Usually for CARTA the instance produces a token to connect to it in the absence of a browser, so I make an ssh-tunnel and use my local browser. Not high-priority by any means, but I wondered if you might consider adding a similar feature?

Thanks for the feedback! This is a capability that we plan to implement in the medium term. However, the implementation for iclean is more complicated than with CARTA because there are a number of websocket connections which exist between Python and the browser controlling interactive clean. These connections would also have to be tunneled to allow iclean within the local browser to update.
