Description

As reported via the Web of Things Discord server, the library currently has some shortcomings when it comes to supporting the web target due to web-incompatible dependencies in both the core and http binding package. A stricter modularization as well as a replacement of some dependencies (e.g., replacing dart:io with dart:http) is probably necessary to actually fully support the Web target.

Research direction

Start by auditing the core and HTTP binding packages for dependencies incompatible with the Web target, especially uses of dart:io. Compare those dependencies with dart:http and trace the package boundaries needed for stricter modularization. Done means the core and HTTP binding support the Web target without web-incompatible dependencies.
