http://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/ now uses http://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/ This was a fair amount of work and a trial for the other specifications that have to move to Fetch at some point. I suspect we'll need some convenience hooks for other specifications, as none will be quite as complex as XMLHttpRequest. Anyway, since this was a big change review is appreciated. If you don't have time, just keep it in mind if you happen to look at it later. The idea here is to have all networking behavior centralized and not scattered around and repeated for each individual end point. All APIs (XMLHttpRequest, <img>, etc.) need to deal with redirects, HTTP authentication, CORS, etc. and therefore having that defined in Fetch makes a lot of sense. As with all architectural cleanup, this will make extending things easier going forward. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
