Adding HTTP calls into the capabilities for WC3 Lua Scripts

Wanting to use HTTP requests within WC3 maps so that we can run ladders for custom maps without requiring using 3rd party software.

Some custom maps like Line Tower Wars already achieve having a ranking system without this. Also this really belongs under custom games section

Would you be offended if I mock you profusely for this idea, because it would open a giant security hole in the game that Microsoft Activision (based on how they treat this game) probably don’t care enough to maintain security updates for?

It’s not because you’re wrong; it’s because this company has gone wrong.

We discussed allowing this but even with active support it’s a nightmare security vulnerability.
