Define the new bindings to perform HTTP request from inside the workers. The outcome of this PR is that workers can import a
send-http-request
function to send HTTP requests through the host. This features opens many new possibilities and it's a pretty standard API in any worker-based platform.It refs #165
Interface definition
For now, we are not using the latest WIT syntax (including
package
). Thewit-bindgen
version that supports it only works with components. Wasm Workers Server doesn't support components yet, but we will switch to them in the future, while keeping compatibility with core components.For this reason, we're pinning the
wit-bindgen
dependency to the v2.0 version on the client side (I'll send a separate PR with these changes).On the host side, we're using the
wit-bindgen-backport
fork from the Fermyon team. This fork is compatible with the latest Wasmtime version and thewit-bindgen
v2 version.Changes
