Hello!
I'm hoping someone has already run into this before and can tell me what
I'm doing wrong...
I have a JavaScript function I'm calling from a C++ multi-threaded game
that is designed to perform an async HTTP fetch.
I'm building the game using USE_PTHREADS=1 and PROXY_TO_PTHREAD=1 and I've
e events otherwise.

Ah! Thanks for the details! I looked into Asyncify and ruled it out
because of this from the emscripten documentation:

That would mean one HTTP request at a ti
