Description

Since brook is a cross-platform network tool designed for developers, I think we can build a brook wasm(WebAssembly) wssclient to make brook run in browsers, so that many other network tools such as curl and ssh can also run in browsers(using brook as proxy) to do a lot of thing(ftp, email, TELNET).

Research direction

Start with the linked Go WebAssembly and browser Worker, postMessage, and Fetch API references. Define the wssclient scope, browser constraints, and the network tools it should support before locating an implementation entry point. Done should mean brook runs as a browser-compatible WebAssembly client with a documented, testable usage path.
