Comment:

 The WP_ACCESSIBLE_HOSTS constant in WordPress is used to define a
 whitelist of hosts that are allowed to be contacted by your WordPress
 site, especially when the WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL constant is set to true.

 {{{#!php
 define('WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL', true);
 define('WP_ACCESSIBLE_HOSTS', 'api.wordpress.org,*.yourdomain.com
 ,external-service.com');
 }}}

 So, your requested feature can be achievable as described above, so I am
 marking the ticket as invalid and closing it.

 If you (@markoheijnen) think that the closing ticket is inappropriate, You
 can reopen this ticket.
