something similar? If not, we should play it safe and have one just in case 
there are unforeseen consequences.

So maybe just add a fourth condition "request's current URL's host is not 
localhost"?

I don't think I understand what change to Fetch would be proposed. The 
section you flagged has two relevant clauses related to HTTPS upgrades:

  5. Upgrade request to a potentially trustworthy URL, if appropriate.
  6. Upgrade a mixed content request to a potentially trustworthy URL, if 
appropriate.

Notably, [*.]localhost is already a potentially trustworthy URL: 
https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-secure-contexts/#is-origin-trustworthy, 
clause #5.

...which implies to me that the behavior I propose is already what Fetch 
asks for.

Specification: HSTS specification is at 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6797; this feature proposes an 
improvement.

Summary 

Strict-Transport-Security response headers can cause problems for localhost 
web servers because STS applies host-wide, across all ports. This causes 
compatibility problems for web developers testing locally as well as 
end-users who use software packages that commonly spin up localhost 
webservers for ephemeral reasons (e.g. communication of an auth token from 
a web login to a local software package). If one local listener sets 
Strict-Transport-Security on a localhost response, it will be applied to 
all subsequent localhost requests regardless of port. We resolve this 
problem by ignoring Strict-Transport-Security headers on responses from 
localhost URLs.

TAG review: None

Risks 

Interoperability and Compatibility 

The expectation is that this will improve compatibility with services that 
run on localhost by avoiding unexpected interactions across unrelated 
packages. 

*Gecko*: Shipped/Shipping

*WebKit*: No signal

*Web developers*: Positive (
https://issues.chromium.org/issues?q=HSTS%20localhost) Web Developers who 
test their sites locally commonly report problems with 
Strict-Transport-Security headers applying unexpectedly across unrelated 
localhost services under tests.

*Other signals*:

WebView application risks 

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that 
it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

None


Debuggability 

HSTS upgrades show in the F12 Network pane as "307 Internal Redirect." In 
the absence of such an upgrade, the 307 is not shown.

Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, 
Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)? Yes.

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests 
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>
? No, HSTS is not tested by Web Platform tests. The change is tested by 
Chrome unit and browser tests.

Flag name on chrome://flags: None

Finch feature name: None

Non-finch justification: None

Requires code in //chrome? All of the functional changes are in /net/ but 
tests under /chrome/ require updates to use non 'localhost' test endpoints.

Anticipated spec changes 

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or 
interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues 
in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may 
introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of 
the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
