was a bit surprised that WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming() is a core webassembly api, but you can't open a wasm url with wasmtime.

Wasmtime doesn't support any kind of streaming compilation right now. Not even from a file stored on the disk. It needs the entire file in memory at once currently. In any case even once it supports streaming, I think it would make more sense to accept an std::io::Read implementation rather than having a specific api for downloading from the internet. The web api also effectively does this. instantiateStreaming accepts a fetch Response (or a promise that will return a Response), not directly a url.

ah was thinking more about configuring wasmtime to open url's with a wasm extension on my linux system. So xdg-open https://github.com/torch2424/wasm-by-example/blob/master/examples/hello-world/demo/assemblyscript/hello-world.wasm works. I have a small utility called xdg-url-open registered as the default handler for x-scheme-handler/https which then identifies the default program based on the extension (in this case wasmtime) and then opens it in wasmtime. I guess I can build my own wrapper for wasmtime if I want to make this work.

My particular use case is to kill the web/browser with a searchable p2p document store that supports opening the files in native tools (pdf, media, wasm) using ai to do image captioning and speech to text to enable full text search.

@elliottt did you mean to close this issue via #7434? It doesn't look related to me, but maybe I'm missing something.

You're completely right -- I had meant to close #7428. Sorry about that!
