A bit more information about the problem is needed (ideally some working code)…  
What does parallel function mean? Threaded, distributed? Is HTTP included on the workers? How do you know its not working?

In case this is really a bug, try:

```julia
asyncmap(url->HTTP.get(url), urls)

```

Single threaded but asynchronous. Alternatively, `pmap` 😉
