gearhand opened issue #13130:

Feature

I wish to have those functions available in C API as wasmtime_inherit_network and wasmtime_allow_ip_name_lookup.

Benefit

Without them I cannot enable network access and dns resolution for my guest code (for example, cannot make http request with wasi-http).
I also did not find any alternative way to enable network access via C API.

Implementation

I have already implemented this feature locally and ready to make a PR. My only doubt is that maybe those functions are part of some older way of interacting with network access, and there is an alternative available.

Alternatives

I did not find any.
