It would need to have its HTTP code gutted and replaced with something that uses JS's XMLHttpRequest or the request API, but I think that's all you'd need to change.

Or write a C function called http_request, refactor all of Lynx to use just this one function, and then do something like

    #if PLATFORM === 'WASM'
    then
      fetch()
    else
      the actual sockets and stuff
    end

It would not be that simple, but yes.
