Allow non owners to receive HTML content. In responses from llHTTPResponse with llSetContentType(id, CONTENT_TYPE_HTML)

Currently the restrictions are: (per the wiki)

- the web browser is the Second Life client

- the user (logged into the SL client viewing the page) is the owner of the object.

- the user (logged into the SL client viewing the page) is connected to the region the object is located in

I would propose relaxing at least the 2nd, "owner of the object" restriction.

The current restriction encourages the hosting of content external to sl, resulting in a form of "link rot" over time, leading to ever more broken scripts and objects as users forget/actively take down those external services. Removing it would allow prims to actually host their own pages when needed, in a simpler manner.

There are already a few ways (but cumbersome) to circumvent it, so it is already ineffective.

There has also been talk of serving content for HTTP requests directly from notecards at SUG meetings, this would compliment that massively.

This should have no impact on either, security or privacy for SL users, as I mentioned above there is already a workaround for this, and the prim could just load an external site that can capture any data far better anyway. User privacy is primarily controlled client side with the decision on whether or not to load the page in the first place (be it via media being disabled, whitelists, or other settings).

The 1st and 3rd restrictions could also be lifted, but that is debatable, depending on how LL feels about prims being used to directly host content for use external to SL.

I personally would like to make things like control panels etc for user to work with, and instead of having to upload complex meshes and moved things around with scripts a simple html ui would be perfect... but right now you have to bypass this restriction for that.
