Research direction

Start by tracing how DialOptions.HTTPClient is handled for WASM deployments, then compare the custom client pattern in the linked WireGuard netstack example. Done means a caller can configure an http.Client and use it for WebSocket connections in a WASM deployment.

Description

enhancement

Support configuring a custom http.Client for use in a Wasm deployment.

This would support making websocket connections through something like gvisor netstack.

An example of such an http.Client is here.
