-## HTTPS and HTTP imports
-
-> Stability: 1 - Experimental
-
-Importing network based modules using `https:` and `http:` is supported under
-the `--experimental-network-imports` flag. This allows web browser-like imports
-to work in Node.js with a few differences due to application stability and
-security concerns that are different when running in a privileged environment
-instead of a browser sandbox.
-
-### Imports are limited to HTTP/1
-
-Automatic protocol negotiation for HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 is not yet supported.
-
-### HTTP is limited to loopback addresses
-
-`http:` is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks and is not allowed to be
-used for addresses outside of the IPv4 address `127.0.0.0/8` (`127.0.0.1` to
-`127.255.255.255`) and the IPv6 address `::1`. Support for `http:` is intended
-to be used for local development.
-
-### Authentication is never sent to the destination server.
-
-`Authorization`, `Cookie`, and `Proxy-Authorization` headers are not sent to the
-server. Avoid including user info in parts of imported URLs. A security model
-for safely using these on the server is being worked on.
-
-### CORS is never checked on the destination server
-
-CORS is designed to allow a server to limit the consumers of an API to a
-specific set of hosts. This is not supported as it does not make sense for a
-server-based implementation.
-
-### Cannot load non-network dependencies
-
-These modules cannot access other modules that are not over `http:` or `https:`.
-To still access local modules while avoiding the security concern, pass in
-references to the local dependencies:
-
-```mjs
-// file.mjs
-import worker_threads from 'node:worker_threads';
-import { configure, resize } from 'https://example.com/imagelib.mjs';
-configure({ worker_threads });
-```
-
-```mjs
-// https://example.com/imagelib.mjs
-let worker_threads;
-export function configure(opts) {
-  worker_threads = opts.worker_threads;
-}
-export function resize(img, size) {
-  // Perform resizing in worker_thread to avoid main thread blocking
-}
-```
-
-### Network-based loading is not enabled by default
-
-For now, the `--experimental-network-imports` flag is required to enable loading
-resources over `http:` or `https:`. In the future, a different mechanism will be
-used to enforce this. Opt-in is required to prevent transitive dependencies
-inadvertently using potentially mutable state that could affect reliability
-of Node.js applications.
