Filter external resources

[emersion]

Sometimes it's desirable to disallow external resources (<img>, background: url(…), etc), to prevent sanitized HTML from "calling home" (triggering HTTP requests, e.g. using pixel images for tracking purposes). For instance a webmail might want to do this.

Would you be interested in adding an API to validate external resources?

What do you have in mind?

I'm not sure what this solution looks like, but whilst this is sanitization for XSS and untrusted HTML I wouldn't be averse to making it sanitize for privacy.

This may be something my proposed code in #61 could be used for, as it would allow a function to transform or remove tokens.

My PR #153 has callback function that will allow you to modify/add/remove attributes of HTML elements with your own business logic before they are parsed by bluemonday.
