Re: [whatwg/fetch] New Proposal: Fetch retry (Issue #1838)

Can you clarify which part is the information leak and to whom we're leaking the information to?

- From the viewpoint of the page initiating the fetch, fetch retry is practically invisible. It just gets the final result (after all retry attempts have been exhausted, and if the page initiating it is still alive). So it doesn't learn any new information about the error
- From the viewpoint of the server, it can see that a retry is attempted. But the server is the one producing the policy error so it doesn't learn anything new?
