The HTTP plugin validates URL scheme but does not block requests to private IP ranges. A malicious plugin can probe the local network, access cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254), or hit internal services on localhost. Add a custom DialContext that resolves the target hostname and rejects connections to loopback, private, link-local, and unspecified IP addresses before establishing the connection. Fixes floatpane#505
