Hi all,

We are using a third party library to authenticate users to use our code.

The question is, when porting to WASM, will it be possible to use the third party as is? Is there any limitation to send and get a HTTPS request and response from WASM, or is it impossible due to the sandbox nature of EMSCRIPTEN?
Thanks!

Ronny.

This is possible with emscipten by calling out to JS to do that actual network requests. Emscriptan has a couple of different builtin APIs for this (see fetch.h and wget.h which are documented https://emscripten.org/docs/api_reference/fetch.html and https://emscripten.org/docs/api_reference/emscripten.h.html#id4), or you can write you own use a JS library file or and EM_JS function.

cheers,

sam
