petition/ask/q around network requests?

[gregsadetsky]

heya,

re: network requests being blocked, but networking/multiplayer coming soon, is it fair-ish to say that you're envisioning regular fetch calls to be blocked, but for there to be a ~custom API for multiplayer networking only?

I'm just curious to ask + maybe 0.0000001% petition for a "more open" networking policy ie ... allow internet access? I'm coming from a place of not even having a game for this right now :-) so feel free to ignore :-)

but ... it seems... that it could be fun/more flexible?

that is all :-) thank you :-)

Totally onboard, just need to figure out how to allow it, maybe just a declaration in the manifest and then fetch just "works"?

I think that'd be really great yeah - we/you could also wait for a game to request this, just in case their requirements are slightly different (ie they actually need to fetch images, or wasm, or something else that for some reason can't go through fetch..?)

But yeah to not hypothesize / overengineer, it feels like a externals-url-fetch-allowed should cover most cases
