I am trying to use Worker in app router (POST request), but it seems like it does exactly nothing. Is there some flag, or perhaps some limitation I need to be aware of in Next.js? Thanks

Basically I am just trying to do this:
var Worker = require("web-worker") const worker = new Worker(data:application/javascript,postMessage(42)); worker.addEventListener('message', e => { console.log("HAAAAAALLLLLOOOOOO! " + e.data) // "200 OK" }); worker.postMessage('hello');
inside a export async function POST(request: NextRequest) {
it works in pure node js it seems:
