It’s interesting you say this. I work as a web developer, I consider myself to be more or less well versed in security, and it would have never occurred to me that websites can make requests to devices inside the standard private blocks of addresses. I think it stands to reason that these requests should be blocked in the same way requests to the file:// protocol are blocked.
