> As I just learned, apparently you can make HTTP requests from postgres like so: Well, it's more "you can execute arbitrary commands on the host node, which happens to include curl if it's installed". Which is also why this is limited to admins, as it is often seen as a security problem when users can execute arbitrary commands on the host server. So IMV there's nothing PostgreSQL-specific to that curl command and HTTP request, other than that it happened to be part of the execution stack.
