issues that would require (or benefit from) a new HTTP API
A recent support question in Slack brought up testing a SQS endpoint which uses HTTP long polling.
k6/http
currently only supports synchronous requests, and long polling is a popular feature used by other services as well, so we should look into supporting it.From a brief discussion with @na--, this will likely require an event loop implementation per VU, which puts us on the road to support promises,
async
/await
, etc., greatly expanding the testing capabilities.Also see #746 and #779.
