Comment(by jidanni):
Looks good. OK, I see you all have taken the "lock the liquor store" (seal
off HTTP access) approach. However that still leaves plenty of
teenagers (processes that wish to use HTTP) roving around outside
hoping for access... but I suppose that's how society is.
But wait, my "gold standard test" is: starting from a vanilla install,
all the way even including browsing the dashboard (currently (2.7.1)
booby trapped to download RSS even before you can reach for "screen
options"), can I avoid one single download?
{{{
* You block external URL requests by defining WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL
* in your wp-config.php file and this will only allow localhost and
* your blog to make requests.
}}}
Sorry I'm still using 2.7.1, but looking at the new code,
aren't "localhost and my blog" the ones making those RSS etc.
requests on the Dashboard?
By the way,
{{{
* The constant WP_ACCESSABLE_HOSTS will allow additional hosts to go
through for requests.
}}}
that would be good for 'Block many, but let through a few', but I'm afraid
you need one further variable for those who wish to 'Block a few, but let
through many'.
