wrap safeApp nodejs webfetch to be able to handle any acceptable browser URL (eg: `localhost)

[happybeing]

Using SAFE Browser mock 0.14.0 to access the same resource in two ways:

• WORKS: type http://localhost:8000/config.txt into browser address bar
• FAILS: using safeApp.webFetch('http://localhost:8000/config.txt', {method:'GET'})

OS: Ubuntu 18.10

Ah, right now webFetch is only setup for accessing safe:// urls. It doesn't do any handling of http.

It should work if you use a standard browser fetch though.

I think it would be best if this was fixed so that using mock will work as well as live, when for example doing webFetch('/config.txt')

yeh that'd make sense.

So this issue is probably more like 'wrap safeApp nodejs webfetch to be able to handle any acceptable browser URL (eg: localhost)
