You are kind of stuck then. While this almost sounds rational, it isn't. Every AJAX and SOAP applicaiton - which is nearly the entire internet, uses preboxed video, images, and even scripts, to get function from an otherwise dysfunctional and flat http protocal.
Furthermore, ever since MOSIAC, this html code
<IMG SRC=""URI">MY IMAGE</IMG>
Is not just valid, but ESSENTIAL and it pulls requests and data from any computer on the public internet.

That image is compliments of MRBRKLYN and is served to you on a hot platter from Flatbush. NO SSL needed. Enjoy. You didn't ask for it or click on it, but you got it.
This is not the world before hypertext and gophernet.
This is the internet. It has been built with a balancing act of risk versus saftey from the start. But at NO TIME did an http call ever restrict itself to only things you click on. There has always been a cascade of requests.
