Description

Considering I have an application, which needs an undefined number of entries in allowed_outbound_hosts passed in as a variable.

What I would like to be able to do:

[variables]
allowed_hosts = { default = "https://fermyon.com" }
...
[component.foo]
allowed_outbound_hosts = "[{{ allowed_hosts }}]"

And provide something like this:

SPIN_VARIABLE_ALLOWED_HOSTS="https://www.google.com","https://www.fermyon.com" spin up

A scenario for doing this, is if you have multiple endpoints you need to connect to, but want to make it a runtiem decision what those endpoints are.

Research direction

Start by tracing how variables in spin.toml are parsed and how spin up handles component.foo.allowed_outbound_hosts. Compare the requested SPIN_VARIABLE_ALLOWED_HOSTS input with the current list handling. Done means an undefined number of runtime-supplied hosts can be applied to allowed_outbound_hosts, with the behavior verified by tests.
