-/// Allows an operation executed via [action] to access insecure HTTP URLs.
-///
-/// On some platforms (notably iOS and Android), HTTP is disallowed by default.
-/// You should strive to access secure URLs from your app, but we recognize that
-/// sometimes that is not possible. In such cases, use the function below to
-/// allow access to HTTP URLs.
-///
-/// On Web, we delegate security to the browser policies (such as CORS).
-///
-/// Sample usage:
-///
-/// ```dart
-/// import 'package:flutter/services.dart' as services;
-///
-/// final Image image = services.allowHttp(() => Image.network('http://some_insecure_url');
-/// ```
-///
-/// Best Practices:
-/// * Do not wrap your entire app with [allowHttp]. Wrap *exactly* what you need and nothing more.
-/// * Avoid libraries that require accessing HTTP URLs.
