WebGL support missing

[Glutoblop]

Alongside the issue of having to now this an js plugin such as this: https://github.com/valyard/UnityWebGLOpenLink

To make the open external link work, I'm not even getting that far hitting my work around patch, with the TwtichAuthenicator.cs::TryAuthenticateCoroutine as it now errors with:

SocketException: Success at System.Net.Sockets.Socket..ctor (System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily addressFamily, System.Net.Sockets.SocketType socketType, System.Net.Sockets.ProtocolType protocolType)

As soon as _listener.Start(); is hit.

Have you had any success getting this behaviour to work in webgl, running locally?

Currently im just using python -m http.server to run the test locally.

I should mention that currently this plugin does not work when building to WebGL. This is because WebGL does not support native multithreading for the operation of the sockets. For this plugin to work on WebGL it will need modification, I believe switching from using sockets (System.Net.Sockets) to WebSockets will do the job.

How important is it for your web project to support Twitch Chat interactions? I might start working on WebGL support soon, but I will need to do some research beforehand.

I was using it to research making some custom twitch stream overlay / mini games that the chatters can play.

It would be very exciting to have the behaviour working, but I'm getting conflicting information from googling if it's even possible to do this auth on webgl.

If you could find a way that would be quite an amazing feat.

Oh there's 100% a way to get this working in WebGL. Just requires code modification and extra effort in dealing with other potential problems that may arise later as a consequence.

Hey! Have you managed to get any progress with this?

Hey @Glutoblop sorry for the late reply, I finally got some time to look at tackling this issue. I'll post updates here when I manage to get it working.
