Hello, Summary: The Fetch specification unifies fetching across the web platform. The intention of Bug 1039846 is to implement the content facing aspects of the Fetch specification, namely: - Request/Response/Headers/FetchBodyStream objects - Expose the fetch() method on windows and workers.
fetch() is a more granular, Promise-based, easy to use form of XHR. ServiceWorkers also rely on the specification since they use these Requests and Responses to provide valid responses to network interception of resource requests from the pages they control. Some of the underlying infrastructure will also be used by the Cache/FetchStorage API exposed to ServiceWorkers. Bug: https://bugzil.la/1039846 Link to standard: http://fetch.spec.whatwg.org Platform coverage: Android, Desktop, Firefox OS Estimated or target release: Firefox 36 Preference behind which this will be implemented: dom.fetch.enabled _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
