Re: [fetch] Automatically set request's "Content-Type" to "application/json" for POJOs (#47) from Ilya Grigorik on 2015-09-29 (public-webapps-github@w3.org from September 2015)

Having a case for auto-encode to JSON would be really helpful for Beacon API. As of right now, there is no way to beacon a JSON payload [via Beacon API](https://w3c.github.io/beacon/#sec-sendBeacon-method)... You can JSON.stringify the payload yourself, but then the Content-Type is set as plain text; there is no way to override the content-type.

I'd love to see this reopened.
