And even if we added functionality to XMLHttpRequest we would still need to define the default. Adding more features does not solve any existing problems. And if this decision is entirely up to the APIs, please have the HTTP specification say so. E.g. "Note: Clients will have to decide which headers sent in the original request are used in the request to the redirected location." -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
