On top of videos, there is also already string loading:
and image loading:
Note that these do have specific limitations for security reasons, and may not fully include everything you're asking for because they are not raw, complete HTTP requests. Relaxing those limitations and exposing raw HTTP requests is not being considered at this time.

Phasedragon: What I think is that they should allow something a little more elaborate.
Probably the reason they don't include it is because you would have to deal with possible misuse by malicious parties.
That said, in my opinion, it would be enough to implement similar mechanics:
- Warn the user that the world is making requests to unknown servers, possibly allowing them to enable or disable such requests.
- Give information regarding what is being requested from an external server: then the world developer would have to explain why it needs such requests and especially what happens/what data it sends during such a request.
- one could create a system of preauthorization of domains, going to create a system that would egg a check and in case ban such domains.
It sounds like a lot, but for a game that has been up for so many years, it shouldn't be much of a problem, plus the community world system where worlds are put in before they are officially approved would naturally dispose of worlds that cause crashes or the like.
Of course some other considerations would have to be made perhaps, and I would be open to discussing that with the developers.
Having said that, this feature is really important and would allow authors to give more leeway to their creativity
