[Ovmsdev] http client calls from script

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Not at the moment. Still trying to work out how to do it. @Michael brought this up a week or so ago.

I am uncomfortable with doing a blocking implementation. For example, blocking the entire ticker.600 for an HTTP download.

Duktape supports javascript threads, but only one thread per native thread (and we can’t have too many of those anyway). It doesn’t seem to have any async / promise support (although there is talk of that in the mailing lists).

The issue is similar to file I/O (also requested). It probably would not be too hard to implemented both via some event / callback mechanism - but that is hardly the javascript way.

Regards, Mark.
