Description

Request from Discord: a user with a standalone deployment wants to make HTTP requests against internal local addresses, but is blocked by our SSRF protection. We have an internal, unstable cargo feature to disable this protection, allow_loopback_http_for_tests. We should figure out some sensible way to expose this at runtime via a config file.

Research direction

Start by locating the standalone deployment's runtime configuration and the internal allow_loopback_http_for_tests cargo feature that controls SSRF protection. Determine a suitable config-file setting for standalone deployments, then verify that procedure HTTP requests can target internal local addresses when it is enabled and remain protected by default.
