SOLVED Trouble with HTML5 client connecting to a Windows Server

Set up a very simple server/client using network_connect_tcp, both the server and client running on Windows and it works fine. Changed it to network_connect_ws and ran both on Windows and also works fine. When I try run the server on Windows and the client on HTML5 the client suddenly won't connect.

Followed these tutorials for the server/client setup

Any ideas why it's not connecting?

As of the time of writing, the Windows export supports TCP but not Websockets, so your second try is actually somewhat of a fluke.

Is that something that used to work and they've since removed?
Another video where they swap out TCP for WS and it seems to work, other people in comments seem to have it working too?

Turns out it does work after all. All I needed to do was change network_connect to network_connect_async on the client. Glad I didn't give up hope, haha.
