Looking forward to the future of the SAFE Network in general, there are going to be a lot of resources still in HTTP land that would potentially be useful/needed in SAFE apps whether that is RESTful APIs or what not. Is there a way to make HTTP requests within an app in the SAFE browser?
No, the browser supplied by MaidSafe will focus on safety / privacy. There may be 3rd party browsers or browser plugins that will provide functionality like that.

That makes sense I guess. I’ll keep that in mind for future projects.
You can’t do http requests but you can use RESTful style apps with SAFE Network via fetch() in the browser with a suitable compatibility library. This was democrated at SAFE DevCon with the Solid Plume app:
