To all you #developers implementing #SSRF protections in your #fediverse applications...

Have a setting that lets projects like #FediTest override it. Otherwise how can anybody test interop on anything other than on the public internet?

Mastodon has a ALLOWED_PRIVATE_ADDRESSES setting, which is one way of doing it. Or just have a setting with a default value of what's disabled, and let people override it. Or whatever.

But we need something ...
