Description

For the TLSNotary application, we'll need to define an interface for supporting network I/O to and from the contract. One proposal is to specify certain methods to act as a callback function for network data, treating the network data as an input to the method call.

Because Ekiden contracts must be deterministic / RSM model, we want to treat these as inputs.
One potential reference is how we'll handle randomness:
#182

Research direction

Start by reading the TLSNotary and Ekiden context in the issue, then review the referenced randomness issue #182 for the proposed input-handling pattern. The issue does not name files, tests, or a concrete interface, so the expected implementation and completion criteria still need to be defined.
