I can’t tell if this is a simple question or a tough one… Is there yet a route to calling some capability outside the network? I can’t get my head around how a request would be addressed, to see it answered. In the absence of a server on the network, will it be possible to pass a request to some po…

maybe you could have a gateway of some sort that monitors a mutable in Safe. If the mutable takes some special value, it is a phone call. the listening device could answer, and convey some safe stored data to outside, and vice versa. Not sure if I really got your question right.

[image] davidpbrown: Is there yet a route to calling some capability outside the network? In the past we use to do api calls to our server on the clearnet, but now that is not possible anymore (and it’s for the better). If everything stays on the SAFE Network, that’s an attack vector less. On…

[image] davidpbrown: Is there yet a route to calling some capability outside the network? Unfortunately, I don’t think that Maidsafe will allow this. When I was looking for a way to do this to workaround cost of mutating data on the network, the answer was clear: [image] Does SafeBrowser -…

[image] davidpbrown: but what of the other way round?.. a user on SAFEnetwork wants to access capability that is not within the network. mysearchrequest->outsideworld This is what my response was intended to answer. I’m saying that for SAFE users to have access to things outside the network,…

Yes, I expect you’re right as it stands and fits with my impression too. However, my instinct is to challenge the boundaries of what is possible, rather than settle for the normal…and doing that early on perhaps helps too. If we consider what the internet is used for, perhaps we might expect that …

[image] neo: Well if its an application that needs this then it simply does it the same way it would without safe network. And obviously a “native” application and not a browser application. Yes, but the problem is not solved for a pure safe site. I don’t know if this will be still true with…
