Yes - the calls are blocking, despite the fact that we supply callbacks :-/
It would be much better if the calls didn't block, and the callback was then called asynchronously when the request was completed, and treated like any other espruino event (like timeout/etc)... it sounds like that's what the ESP8266 wants you to do, and it seems like it should be possible on Espruino, even if it doesn't work
I mean, if the calls are all blocking, we might as well not have a callback, and just have the http.get() return the response! But a callback, and non-blocking requests would be much more in keeping with the Espruino way...
