 * Can someone please help me out with identifying all external http or https requests
   made from a wordpress install.
 * My webhost is changing some firewall rules to block external requests from hosted
   sites and I don’t want to lose any functionality.
 * Obviously any content I post that embeds images or videos is affected, but I’m
   most interested in things like the WordPress announcements in the Admin area,
   any remotely hosted code, js or css and/or images etc.
 * A quick poll of the install files brings up the following,
 * [http://wordpress.org/](http://wordpress.org/)
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/](http://codex.wordpress.org/)
   [http://planet.wordpress.org/](http://planet.wordpress.org/) [http://feeds.technorati.com/](http://feeds.technorati.com/)
   [http://www.w3.org/](http://www.w3.org/) ?
 * and (some) plugins using,
 * [http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/](http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/)
    [http://tinymce.moxiecode.cp/](http://tinymce.moxiecode.cp/)
   [http://sourceforge.net/](http://sourceforge.net/) [http://akismet.com/](http://akismet.com/)
   [http://ws.arin.net/](http://ws.arin.net/) [http://push.cx/](http://push.cx/)
 * Anything else? Any help here would be appreciated.
 * Obviously if the host isn’t willing to provide a workaround I’ll be jumping shiop
   real fast!
 * Regards, Chris.

 * I should add that the reason I need to identify external requests is so I can
   pass on a list to my host provider that will be added to a “permitted” list.
 * Of course the major drawback here is that the whole trackback/ping functionality
   will be permanently broken (unless by chance I blog and link to a site that has
   been previously approved)
 * The more I look into this change the more I think I’ll be ditching my host provider
   and moving the site…
