<h2 id=goals class="no-num short">Goals</h2>

<p>The goal is to unify fetching across the web platform and provide consistent handling of
everything that involves, including:

<ul class=brief>
 <li>URL schemes
 <li>Redirects
 <li>Cross-origin semantics
 <li>CSP [[!CSP]]
 <li>Fetch Metadata [[!FETCH-METADATA]]
 <li>Service workers [[!SW]]
 <li>Mixed Content [[!MIX]]
 <li>Upgrade Insecure Requests [[!UPGRADE-INSECURE-REQUESTS]]
 <li>`<code>Referer</code>` [[!REFERRER]]
</ul>

<p>To do so it also supersedes the HTTP `<a http-header><code>Origin</code></a>` header semantics
originally defined in <cite>The Web Origin Concept</cite>. [[ORIGIN]]



<h2 id=preface class=short>Preface</h2>

<p>At a high level, fetching a resource is a fairly simple operation. A request goes in, a
response comes out. <!--You can't explain that! -->The details of that operation are
however quite involved and used to not be written down carefully and differ from one API
to the next.

<p>Numerous APIs provide the ability to fetch a resource, e.g. HTML's <code>img</code> and
<code>script</code> element, CSS' <code>cursor</code> and <code>list-style-image</code>,
the <code>navigator.sendBeacon()</code> and <code>self.importScripts()</code> JavaScript
APIs. The Fetch Standard provides a unified architecture for these features so they are
all consistent when it comes to various aspects of fetching, such as redirects and the
CORS protocol.

<p>The Fetch Standard also defines the <a method><code>fetch()</code></a> JavaScript API, which
exposes most of the networking functionality at a fairly low level of abstraction.



<h2 id=infrastructure>Infrastructure</h2>

<p>This specification depends on the Infra Standard. [[!INFRA]]

<p>This specification uses terminology from <cite>ABNF</cite>, <cite>Encoding</cite>,
<cite>HTML</cite>, <cite>HTTP</cite>, <cite>MIME Sniffing</cite>, <cite>Streams</cite>,

<p>A <a for=/>URL</a> <dfn export>is local</dfn> if its <a for=url>scheme</a> is a

<p class=note>This definition is also used by <cite>Referrer Policy</cite>. [[REFERRER]]

<p>An <dfn export id=http-scheme>HTTP(S) scheme</dfn> is "<code>http</code>" or
"<code>https</code>".

<p>A <dfn export>fetch scheme</dfn> is "<code>about</code>", "<code>blob</code>",
"<code>data</code>", "<code>file</code>", or an <a>HTTP(S) scheme</a>.

<p class="note no-backref"><a>HTTP(S) scheme</a> and <a>fetch scheme</a> are also used by

<h3 id=http>HTTP</h3>

<p>While <a lt=fetch for=/>fetching</a> encompasses more than just HTTP, it
borrows a number of concepts from HTTP and applies these to resources obtained via other
means (e.g., <code>data</code> URLs).

<p>An <dfn export>HTTP tab or space</dfn> is U+0009 TAB or U+0020 SPACE.

<p><dfn export>HTTP whitespace</dfn> is U+000A LF, U+000D CR, or an <a>HTTP tab or space</a>.

<p class="note no-backref"><a>HTTP whitespace</a> is only useful for specific constructs that are
reused outside the context of HTTP headers (e.g., <a for=/>MIME types</a>). For HTTP header values,
using <a>HTTP tab or space</a> is preferred, and outside that context <a>ASCII whitespace</a> is
preferred. Unlike <a>ASCII whitespace</a> this excludes U+000C FF.

<p>An <dfn export>HTTP newline byte</dfn> is 0x0A (LF) or 0x0D (CR).

<p>An <dfn export>HTTP tab or space byte</dfn> is 0x09 (HT) or 0x20 (SP).

<p>An <dfn export>HTTP whitespace byte</dfn> is an <a>HTTP newline byte</a> or
<a>HTTP tab or space byte</a>.

<h4 id=methods>Methods</h4>

<p>A <dfn export id=concept-method>method</dfn> is a <a for=/>byte sequence</a> that matches the

<p id=simple-method>A <dfn export>CORS-safelisted method</dfn> is a
<a for=/>method</a> that is `<code>GET</code>`,
`<code>HEAD</code>`, or `<code>POST</code>`.

<p>A <dfn export>forbidden method</dfn> is a <a for=/>method</a> that is a

<p class="note no-backref"><a lt=normalize for=method>Normalization</a> is

<p class=note>This is used so that the caller to a fetch can determine if sensitive timing data is

<p>A <dfn export id=concept-filtered-response>filtered response</dfn> is a <a for=/>response</a>

<dfn export id=concept-internal-response for="filtered response">internal response</dfn> (a

<p>Unless stated otherwise a <a for=/>filtered response</a>'s associated concepts (such as its
<a for=response>body</a>) refer to the associated concepts of its
<a for="filtered response">internal response</a>. (The exceptions to this are listed below as part
of defining the concrete types of <a for=/>filtered responses</a>.)

<div class=note>
 <p>The <a for=/>fetch</a> algorithm by way of <a for=fetch><i>processResponse</i></a> and

 accidentally leak information. If the information needs to be revealed for legacy reasons, e.g., to
 feed image data to a decoder, the associated <a for="filtered response">internal response</a> can
 be used by specification algorithms.

 <p>New specifications ought not to build further on <a>opaque filtered responses</a> or
 <a>opaque-redirect filtered responses</a>. Those are legacy constructs and cannot always be
 adequately protected given contemporary computer architecture.

<p>An <dfn export id=concept-filtered-response-opaque>opaque filtered response</dfn> is a

<a for=response>status message</a> is the empty byte sequence,

<div class=note>
 <p>Exposing the <a for=response>URL list</a> for

 no redirects are followed.

 <p>In other words, an <a>opaque filtered response</a> and an
 <a>opaque-redirect filtered response</a> are nearly indistinguishable from a <a>network error</a>.
 When introducing new APIs, do not use the <a for="filtered response">internal response</a> for
 internal specification algorithms as that will leak information.

 <p>This also means that JavaScript APIs, such as
 <a attribute for=Response lt=ok><code>response.ok</code></a>, will return rather useless results.
</div>

<div class=example id=example-filtered-responses>
 <p>The <a for=response>type</a> of a <a for=/>response</a> is exposed to script through the

<!-- "error" is exposed through Response.error().type, but seems like a design mistake as

<p class=note>This is intentionally a little vague as there are a lot of nuances to connection

<p>To <dfn>record connection timing info</dfn> given a <a for=/>connection</a>
<var>connection</var>, let <var>timingInfo</var> be <var>connection</var>'s
<a for=connection>timing info</a> and observe these requirements:

<ul>
 <li>
  <p><var>timingInfo</var>'s <a for="connection timing info">connection end time</a> should be the
  <a for=/>unsafe shared current time</a> immediately after establishing the connection to the
  server or proxy, as follows:

  <ul>
   <li><p>The returned time must include the time interval to establish the transport connection, as
   well as other time intervals such as SOCKS authentication. It must include the time interval to
   complete enough of the TLS handshake to request the resource.

   <li><p>If the user agent used TLS False Start for this connection, this interval must not include
   the time needed to receive the server's Finished message. [[RFC7918]]

   <li><p>If the user agent sends the request with early data without waiting for the full handshake
   to complete, this interval must not include the time needed to receive the server's ServerHello
   message. [[RFC8470]]

   <li><p>If the user agent waits for full handshake completion to send the request, this interval
   includes the full TLS handshake even if other requests were sent using early data on
   <var>connection</var>.
  </ul>

  <p class=example id=example-connection-end-time>Suppose the user agent establishes an HTTP/2
  connection over TLS 1.3 to send a <code>GET</code> request and a <code>POST</code> request. It
  sends the ClientHello at time <var>t1</var> and then sends the <code>GET</code> request with early
  data. The <code>POST</code> request is not safe ([[HTTP]], section 9.2.1), so the user
  agent waits to complete the handshake at time <var>t2</var> before sending it. Although both
  requests used the same connection, the <code>GET</code> request reports a connection end time of
  <var>t1</var>, while the <code>POST</code> request reports <var>t2</var>.

 <li><p>If a secure transport is used, <var>timingInfo</var>'s
 <a for="connection timing info">secure connection start time</a> should be the result of calling
 <a for=/>unsafe shared current time</a> immediately before starting the handshake process to
 secure <var>connection</var>. [[!TLS]]

 <li><p>If <var>connection</var> is an HTTP/3 connection, <var>timingInfo</var>'s
 <a for="connection timing info">connection start time</a> and <var>timingInfo</var>'s
 <a for="connection timing info">secure connection start time</a> must be equal. (In HTTP/3
 the secure transport handshake process is performed as part of the initial connection setup.)

<h3 id=http-cors-protocol>CORS protocol</h3>

<p>To allow sharing responses cross-origin and allow for more versatile
<a lt=fetch for=/>fetches</a> than possible with HTML's
<{form}> element, the <dfn export>CORS protocol</dfn> exists. It
is layered on top of HTTP and allows responses to declare they can be shared with other
<a for=/>origins</a>.

<p class=note>It needs to be an opt-in mechanism to prevent leaking data from responses behind a
firewall (intranets). Additionally, for <a for=/>requests</a> including
<a for=/>credentials</a> it needs to be opt-in to prevent leaking potentially-sensitive data.

<p>This section explains the <a>CORS protocol</a> as it pertains to server developers.
Requirements for user agents are part of the <a for=/>fetch</a> algorithm,
except for the <a href=#http-new-header-syntax>new HTTP header syntax</a>.


<h4 id=general>General</h4>

<p>The <a>CORS protocol</a> consists of a set of headers that indicates whether a response can
be shared cross-origin.

<p>For <a for=/>requests</a> that are more involved than what is possible with HTML's <{form}>
element, a <a>CORS-preflight request</a> is performed, to ensure <a for=/>request</a>'s
<a for=request>current URL</a> supports the <a>CORS protocol</a>.


<h4 id=http-requests>HTTP requests</h4>

<p>A <dfn export>CORS request</dfn> is an HTTP request that includes an
`<a http-header><code>Origin</code></a>` header. It cannot be reliably identified as participating
in the <a>CORS protocol</a> as the `<a http-header><code>Origin</code></a>` header is also included
for all <a for=/>requests</a> whose <a for=request>method</a> is neither `<code>GET</code>` nor
`<code>HEAD</code>`.

<p>A <dfn id=cors-preflight-request export>CORS-preflight request</dfn> is a <a>CORS request</a>
that checks to see if the <a>CORS protocol</a> is understood. It uses `<code>OPTIONS</code>` as
<a for=/>method</a> and includes these <a for=/>headers</a>:

<dl>
 <dt>`<dfn export http-header id=http-access-control-request-method><code>Access-Control-Request-Method</code></dfn>`
 <dd><p>Indicates which <a for=/>method</a> a future
 <a>CORS request</a> to the same resource might use.

 <dt>`<dfn export http-header id=http-access-control-request-headers><code>Access-Control-Request-Headers</code></dfn>`
 <dd><p>Indicates which <a for=/>headers</a> a future
 <a>CORS request</a> to the same resource might use.
</dl>


<h4 id=http-responses>HTTP responses</h4>

<p>An HTTP response to a <a>CORS request</a> can include the following
<a for=/>headers</a>:

<dl>
 <dt>`<dfn export http-header id=http-access-control-allow-origin><code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code></dfn>`
 <dd><p>Indicates whether the response can be shared, via returning the literal
 <a for=header>value</a> of the
 `<a http-header><code>Origin</code></a>` request <a for=/>header</a>
 (which can be `<code>null</code>`) or `<code>*</code>` in a response.

 <dt>`<dfn export http-header id=http-access-control-allow-credentials><code>Access-Control-Allow-Credentials</code></dfn>`
 <dd>
  <p>Indicates whether the response can be shared when <a for=/>request</a>'s
  <a for=request>credentials mode</a> is
  "<code>include</code>".

  <p class=note>For a <a>CORS-preflight request</a>, <a for=/>request</a>'s
  <a for=request>credentials mode</a> is always "<code>same-origin</code>", i.e., it excludes
  credentials, but for any subsequent <a>CORS requests</a> it might not be. Support therefore needs
  to be indicated as part of the HTTP response to the <a>CORS-preflight request</a> as well.
</dl>

<p>An HTTP response to a <a>CORS-preflight request</a> can include the following
<a for=/>headers</a>:

<dl>
 <dt>`<dfn export http-header id=http-access-control-allow-methods><code>Access-Control-Allow-Methods</code></dfn>`
 <dd>
  <p>Indicates which <a for=/>methods</a> are supported by the <a for=/>response</a>'s
  <a for=response>URL</a> for the purposes of the <a>CORS protocol</a>.

  <p class=note>The `<code>Allow</code>` <a for=/>header</a> is
  not relevant for the purposes of the <a>CORS protocol</a>.

 <dt>`<dfn export http-header id=http-access-control-allow-headers><code>Access-Control-Allow-Headers</code></dfn>`
 <dd><p>Indicates which <a for=/>headers</a> are supported by the <a for=/>response</a>'s
 <a for=response>URL</a> for the purposes of the <a>CORS protocol</a>.

 <dt>`<dfn export http-header id=http-access-control-max-age><code>Access-Control-Max-Age</code></dfn>`
 <dd><p>Indicates the number of seconds (5 by default) the information provided by the
 `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Methods</code></a>` and
 `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Headers</code></a>` <a for=/>headers</a> can be cached.
</dl>

<p>An HTTP response to a <a>CORS request</a> that is not a
<a>CORS-preflight request</a> can also include the following
<a for=/>header</a>:

<dl>
 <dt>`<dfn export http-header id=http-access-control-expose-headers><code>Access-Control-Expose-Headers</code></dfn>`
 <dd><p>Indicates which <a for=/>headers</a> can be exposed as part
 of the response by listing their <a lt=name for=header>names</a>.
</dl>

<hr>

<p>A successful HTTP response, i.e., one where the server developer intends to share it, to a
<a>CORS request</a> can use any <a for=/>status</a>, as long as it includes the <a for=/>headers</a>
stated above with <a for=header>values</a> matching up with the request.

<p>A successful HTTP response to a <a>CORS-preflight request</a> is similar, except it is restricted
to an <a for=/>ok status</a>, e.g., 200 or 204.

<p>Any other kind of HTTP response is not successful and will either end up not being shared or fail
the <a>CORS-preflight request</a>. Be aware that any work the server performs might nonetheless leak
through side channels, such as timing. If server developers wish to denote this explicitly, the 403
<a for=/>status</a> can be used, coupled with omitting the relevant <a for=/>headers</a>.

<p class=note>If desired, “failure” could also be shared, but that would make it a successful HTTP
response. That is why for a successful HTTP response to a <a>CORS request</a> that is not a
<a>CORS-preflight request</a> the <a for=/>status</a> can be anything, including 403.

<p>Ultimately server developers have a lot of freedom in how they handle HTTP responses and these
tactics can differ between the response to the <a>CORS-preflight request</a> and the
<a>CORS request</a> that follows it:

<ul>
 <li><p>They can provide a static response. This can be helpful when working with caching
 intermediaries. A static response can both be successful and not successful depending on the
 <a>CORS request</a>. This is okay.

 <li><p>They can provide a dynamic response, tuned to <a>CORS request</a>. This can be helpful when
 the response body is to be tailored to a specific origin or a response needs to have credentials
 and be successful for a set of origins.
</ul>

<a for=/>credentials</a> in the <a for=/>fetch</a>.

<div id=example-xhr-credentials class=example>
 <p>In the old days, {{XMLHttpRequest}} could be used to set
 <a for=/>request</a>'s
 <a for=request>credentials mode</a> to "<code>include</code>":

 <pre><code class=lang-javascript>
var client = new XMLHttpRequest()
client.open("GET", "./")
client.withCredentials = true
/* … */
</code></pre>

 <p>Nowadays, <code>fetch("./", { credentials:"include" }).then(/* … */)</code>
 suffices.
</div>

<p>A <a for=/>request</a>'s
<a for=request>credentials mode</a> is not necessarily observable
on the server; only when <a for=/>credentials</a> exist for a
<a for=/>request</a> can it be observed by virtue of the
<a for=/>credentials</a> being included. Note that even so, a <a>CORS-preflight request</a>
never includes <a for=/>credentials</a>.

<p>The server developer therefore needs to decide whether or not responses "tainted" with
<a for=/>credentials</a> can be shared. And also needs to decide if
<a for=/>requests</a> necessitating a <a>CORS-preflight request</a> can
include <a for=/>credentials</a>. Generally speaking, both sharing responses and allowing requests
with <a for=/>credentials</a> is rather unsafe, and extreme care has to be taken to avoid the
<a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confused_deputy_problem>confused deputy problem</a>.
<!-- Turn into a reference? Meh. -->

<p>To share responses with <a for=/>credentials</a>, the
`<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code></a>` and
`<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Credentials</code></a>` <a for=/>headers</a> are
important. The following table serves to illustrate the various legal and illegal combinations for a
request to <code>https://rabbit.invalid/</code>:

<table>
 <tbody><tr>
  <th>Request's credentials mode
  <th>`<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code></a>`
  <th>`<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Credentials</code></a>`
  <th>Shared?
  <th>Notes
 <tr>
  <td>"<code>omit</code>"
  <td>`<code>*</code>`
  <td>Omitted
  <td>✅
  <td>—
 <tr>
  <td>"<code>omit</code>"
  <td>`<code>*</code>`
  <td>`<code>true</code>`
  <td>✅
  <td>If credentials mode is not "<code>include</code>", then
  `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Credentials</code></a>` is ignored.
 <tr>
  <td>"<code>omit</code>"
  <td>`<code>https://rabbit.invalid/</code>`
  <td>Omitted
  <td>❌
  <td>A <a lt="serialization of an origin">serialized</a> origin has no trailing slash.
 <tr>
  <td>"<code>omit</code>"
  <td>`<code>https://rabbit.invalid</code>`
  <td>Omitted
  <td>✅
  <td>—
 <tr>
  <td>"<code>include</code>"
  <td>`<code>*</code>`
  <td>`<code>true</code>`
  <td>❌
  <td>If credentials mode is "<code>include</code>", then
  `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code></a>` cannot be
  `<code>*</code>`.
 <tr>
  <td>"<code>include</code>"
  <td>`<code>https://rabbit.invalid</code>`
  <td>`<code>true</code>`
  <td>✅
  <td>—
 <tr>
  <td>"<code>include</code>"
  <td>`<code>https://rabbit.invalid</code>`
  <td>`<code>True</code>`
  <td>❌
  <td>`<code>true</code>` is (byte) case-sensitive.
</table>

<p>Similarly, `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Expose-Headers</code></a>`,
`<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Methods</code></a>`, and
`<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Headers</code></a>` response headers can only use
`<code>*</code>` as value when <a for=/>request</a>'s <a for=request>credentials mode</a> is not
"<code>include</code>".


<h4 id=cors-protocol-examples>Examples</h4>

<div id=example-simple-cors class=example>
 <p>A script at <code>https://foo.invalid/</code> wants to fetch some data from
 <code>https://bar.invalid/</code>. (Neither <a for=/>credentials</a> nor response header access is
 important.)

 <pre id=unicorn><code class=lang-javascript>
var url = "https://bar.invalid/api?key=730d67a37d7f3d802e96396d00280768773813fbe726d116944d814422fc1a45&amp;data=about:unicorn";
fetch(url).then(success, failure)
</code></pre>

 <p>This will use the <a>CORS protocol</a>, though this is entirely transparent to the
 developer from <code>foo.invalid</code>. As part of the <a>CORS protocol</a>, the user agent
 will include the `<a http-header><code>Origin</code></a>` header in the request:

 <pre><code class=lang-http>
Origin: https://foo.invalid
</code></pre>

 <p>Upon receiving a response from <code>bar.invalid</code>, the user agent will verify the
 `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code></a>` response header. If its value is
 either `<code>https://foo.invalid</code>` or `<code>*</code>`, the user agent will invoke the
 <code>success</code> callback. If it has any other value, or is missing, the user agent will invoke
 the <code>failure</code> callback.
</div>

<div id=example-cors-with-response-header class=example>
 <p>The developer of <code>foo.invalid</code> is back, and now wants to fetch some data from
 <code>bar.invalid</code> while also accessing a response header.

 <pre><code class=lang-javascript>
fetch(url).then(response => {
  var hsts = response.headers.get("strict-transport-security"),
      csp = response.headers.get("content-security-policy")
  log(hsts, csp)
})
</code></pre>

 <p><code>bar.invalid</code> provides a correct
 `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code></a>` response header per the earlier
 example. The values of <code>hsts</code> and <code>csp</code> will depend on the
 `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Expose-Headers</code></a>` response header. For example, if
 the response included the following headers

 <pre><code class=lang-http>
Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains; preload
Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Content-Security-Policy
</code></pre>

 <p>then <code>hsts</code> would be null and <code>csp</code> would be
 "<code>default-src 'self'</code>", even though the response did include both headers. This is
 because <code>bar.invalid</code> needs to explicitly share each header by listing their names in
 the `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Expose-Headers</code></a>` response header.

 <p>Alternatively, if <code>bar.invalid</code> wanted to share all its response headers, for
 requests that do not include <a for=/>credentials</a>, it could use `<code>*</code>` as value for
 the `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Expose-Headers</code></a>` response header. If the request
 would have included <a for=/>credentials</a>, the response header names would have to be listed
 explicitly and `<code>*</code>` could not be used.
</div>

<div id=example-cors-with-credentials class=example>
 <p>The developer of <code>foo.invalid</code> returns, now fetching some data from
 <code>bar.invalid</code> while including <a for=/>credentials</a>. This time around the
 <a>CORS protocol</a> is no longer transparent to the developer as <a for=/>credentials</a>
 require an explicit opt-in:

 <pre><code class=lang-javascript>
fetch(url, { credentials:"include" }).then(success, failure)
</code></pre>

 <p>This also makes any `<code>Set-Cookie</code>` response headers <code>bar.invalid</code>
 includes fully functional (they are ignored otherwise).

 <p>The user agent will make sure to include any relevant <a for=/>credentials</a> in the request.
 It will also put stricter requirements on the response. Not only will <code>bar.invalid</code> need
 to list `<code>https://foo.invalid</code>` as value for the
 `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code></a>` header (`<code>*</code>` is not
 allowed when <a for=/>credentials</a> are involved), the
 `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Credentials</code></a>` header has to be present too:

 <pre><code class=lang-http>
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://foo.invalid
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
</code></pre>

 <p>If the response does not include those two headers with those values, the <code>failure</code>
 callback will be invoked. However, any `<code>Set-Cookie</code>` response headers will be
 respected.
</div>


<h4 id=cors-protocol-exceptions>CORS protocol exceptions</h4>

<p>Specifications have allowed limited exceptions to the CORS safelist for non-safelisted
`<code>Content-Type</code>` header values. These exceptions are made for requests that can be
triggered by web content but whose headers and bodies can be only minimally controlled by the web
content. Therefore, servers should expect cross-origin web content to be allowed to trigger
non-preflighted requests with the following non-safelisted `<code>Content-Type</code>` header
values:

<ul class=brief>
 <li>`<code>application/csp-report</code>` [[CSP]]
 <li>`<code>application/expect-ct-report+json</code>` [[EXPECT-CT]]
 <li>`<code>application/xss-auditor-report</code>`
 <li>`<code>application/ocsp-request</code>` [[OCSP]]
</ul>

<p>Specifications should avoid introducing new exceptions and should only do so with careful
consideration for the security consequences. New exceptions can be proposed by
<a href=https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/new>filing an issue</a>.

<h2 id=fetching>Fetching</h2>

<p class=note>The algorithm below defines <a lt=fetch for=/>fetching</a>. In broad strokes, it takes
a <a for=/>request</a> and one or more algorithms to run at various points during the operation. A
<a for=/>response</a> is passed to the last two algorithms listed below. The first two algorithms
can be used to capture uploads.

<p>To <dfn export id=concept-fetch>fetch</dfn>, given a <a for=/>request</a> <var>request</var>, an
optional algorithm
<dfn export for=fetch id=process-request-body><var>processRequestBodyChunkLength</var></dfn>, an

<dfn export for=fetch id=process-response-end-of-body oldids=process-response-end-of-file><var>processResponseConsumeBody</var></dfn>,
and an optional boolean <dfn export for=fetch><var>useParallelQueue</var></dfn> (default false), run
the steps below. If given, <var>processRequestBodyChunkLength</var> must be an algorithm accepting
an integer representing the number of bytes transmitted. If given,
<var>processRequestEndOfBody</var> must be an algorithm accepting no arguments. If given,
<var>processEarlyHintsResponse</var> must be an algorithm accepting a <a for=/>response</a>. If
given, <var>processResponse</var> must be an algorithm accepting a <a for=/>response</a>. If given,
<var>processResponseEndOfBody</var> must be an algorithm accepting a <a for=/>response</a>. If
given, <var>processResponseConsumeBody</var> must be an algorithm accepting a <a for=/>response</a>
and null, failure, or a <a for=/>byte sequence</a>.

<p>The user agent may be asked to
<dfn export for=fetch id=concept-fetch-suspend>suspend</dfn> the ongoing fetch.
The user agent may either accept or ignore the suspension request. The suspended fetch can be
<dfn export for=fetch id=concept-fetch-resume>resumed</dfn>. The user agent should
ignore the suspension request if the ongoing fetch is updating the response in the HTTP cache for
the request.

<p class="note no-backref">The user agent does not update the entry in the HTTP cache for a
<a for=/>request</a> if request's cache mode is "no-store" or a
`<code>Cache-Control: no-store</code>` header appears in the response.

       <p>The buffer is not needed when <var>request</var>'s <a for=request>body</a>'s

       <p>When <var>request</var>'s <a for=request>body</a>'s <a for=body>source</a> is null, it

<h2 id=fetch-api>Fetch API</h2>

<p class=no-backref>The <a method><code>fetch()</code></a> method is relatively low-level API for

<div id=fetch-blob-example class="example no-backref">
 <p>The <a method><code>fetch()</code></a> method makes it quite straightforward to
 <a for=/>fetch</a> a resource and extract its contents as a {{Blob}}:

 <pre><code class=lang-javascript>
fetch("/music/pk/altes-kamuffel.flac")
  .then(res => res.blob()).then(playBlob)
</code></pre>

 <p>If you just care to log a particular response header:

 <pre><code class=lang-javascript>
fetch("/", {method:"HEAD"})
  .then(res => log(res.headers.get("strict-transport-security")))
</code></pre>

 <p>If you want to check a particular response header and then process the response of a
 cross-origin resource:

 <pre><code class=lang-javascript>
fetch("https://pk.example/berlin-calling.json", {mode:"cors"})
  .then(res => {
    if(res.headers.get("content-type") &amp;&amp;

      return res.json()
    } else {
      throw new TypeError()

<p class=note>Unlike a <a for=/>header list</a>, a {{Headers}} object cannot represent more than one
`<code>Set-Cookie</code>` <a for=/>header</a>. In a way this is problematic as unlike all other
headers `<code>Set-Cookie</code>` headers cannot be combined, but since `<code>Set-Cookie</code>`
headers are not exposed to client-side JavaScript this is deemed an acceptable compromise.
Implementations could choose the more efficient {{Headers}} object representation even for a
<a for=/>header list</a>, as long as they also support an associated data structure for
`<code>Set-Cookie</code>` headers.

<p>A {{Headers}} object has an associated
<dfn export for=Headers id=concept-headers-header-list>header list</dfn> (a
<a for=/>header list</a>), which is initially empty. <span class=note>This
can be a pointer to the <a for=/>header list</a> of something else, e.g.,
of a <a for=/>request</a> as demonstrated by {{Request}}
objects.</span>

<p>A {{Headers}} object also has an associated
<dfn export for=Headers id=concept-headers-guard>guard</dfn>, which is a <dfn>headers guard</dfn>. A
<a for=/>headers guard</a> is "<code>immutable</code>", "<code>request</code>",
"<code>request-no-cors</code>", "<code>response</code>" or "<code>none</code>".

   "<code>cors</code>".

   <dt>{{RequestInit/credentials}}
   <dd>A string indicating whether credentials will be sent with the request always, never, or only
   when sent to a same-origin URL — as well as whether any credentials sent back in the response
   will be used always, never, or only when received from a same-origin URL. Sets
   <var>request</var>'s {{Request/credentials}}. If <var>input</var> is a string, it defaults to

 object, e.g., the "<code>Host</code>" header.

 <dt><code><var>request</var> . <a attribute for=Request>destination</a></code>
 <dd>Returns the kind of resource requested by <var>request</var>, e.g., "<code>document</code>" or
 "<code>script</code>".

 <dt><code><var>request</var> . <a attribute for=Request>referrer</a></code>
 <dd>Returns the referrer of <var>request</var>. Its value can be a same-origin URL if
 explicitly set in <var>init</var>, the empty string to indicate no referrer, and
 "<code>about:client</code>" when defaulting to the global's default. This is used during
 fetching to determine the value of the `<code>Referer</code>` header of the request being made.

 <dt><code><var>request</var> . <a attribute for=Request>referrerPolicy</a></code>
 <dd>Returns the referrer policy associated with <var>request</var>. This is used during
 fetching to compute the value of the <var>request</var>'s referrer.

 <dt><code><var>request</var> . <a attribute for=Request>mode</a></code>

 <dt><code><var>request</var> . <a attribute for=Request>redirect</a></code>
 <dd>Returns the <a>redirect mode</a> associated with <var>request</var>, which is a string
 indicating how redirects for the request will be handled during fetching. A <a for=/>request</a>
 will follow redirects by default.

 <dt><code><var>request</var> . <a attribute for=Request>integrity</a></code>
 <dd>Returns <var>request</var>'s subresource integrity metadata, which is a cryptographic hash of
 the resource being fetched. Its value consists of multiple hashes separated by whitespace. [[SRI]]

 <dt><code><var>request</var> . <a attribute for=Request>keepalive</a></code>
 <dd>Returns a boolean indicating whether or not <var>request</var> can outlive the global in which
 it was created.

 <dt><code><var>request</var> . <a attribute for=Request>isReloadNavigation</a></code>

 {{AbortSignal}} object indicating whether or not <var>request</var> has been aborted, and its abort
 event handler.

 <dt><code><var>request</var> . <a attribute for=Request>duplex</a></code>
 <dd>Returns "<code>half</code>", meaning the fetch will be half-duplex (i.e., the user agent sends
 the entire request before processing the response). In future, it could also return
 "<code>full</code>", meaning the fetch will be full-duplex (i.e., the user agent can process the
 response before sending the entire request) to indicate that the fetch will be full-duplex.

<h2 id=data-urls><code>data:</code> URLs</h2>

<p>For an informative description of <code>data:</code> URLs, see RFC 2397. This section replaces
that RFC's normative processing requirements to be compatible with deployed content. [[RFC2397]]

<p>A <dfn><code>data:</code> URL struct</dfn> is a <a>struct</a> that consists of a

<p>The <dfn export><code>data:</code> URL processor</dfn> takes a <a for=/>URL</a>

<h2 id=background-reading class=no-num>Background reading</h2>

<p><em>This section and its subsections are informative only.</em>

<h3 id=http-header-layer-division dfn class=no-num>HTTP header layer division</h3>

<p>For the purposes of fetching, there is an API layer (HTML's <code>img</code>, CSS's
<code>background-image</code>), early fetch layer, service worker layer, and network &amp; cache
layer. `<code>Accept</code>` and `<code>Accept-Language</code>` are set in the early fetch layer
(typically by the user agent). Most other headers controlled by the user agent, such as
`<code>Accept-Encoding</code>`, `<code>Host</code>`, and `<code>Referer</code>`, are set in the
network &amp; cache layer. Developers can set headers either at the API layer or in the service
worker layer (typically through a {{Request}} object). Developers have almost no control over
<a>forbidden request-headers</a>, but can control `<code>Accept</code>` and have the means to
constrain and omit `<code>Referer</code>` for instance.


<h3 id=atomic-http-redirect-handling dfn class=no-num>Atomic HTTP redirect handling</h3>

<p>Redirects (a <a for=/>response</a> whose <a for=response>status</a> or
<a for="filtered response">internal response</a>'s (if any) <a for=response>status</a> is a
<a>redirect status</a>) are not exposed to APIs. Exposing redirects might leak information not
otherwise available through a cross-site scripting attack.

<p id=example-xss-redirect class=example>A fetch to <code>https://example.org/auth</code> that includes a
<code>Cookie</code> marked <code>HttpOnly</code> could result in a redirect to
<code>https://other-origin.invalid/4af955781ea1c84a3b11</code>. This new URL contains a
secret. If we expose redirects that secret would be available through a cross-site
scripting attack.


<h3 id=basic-safe-cors-protocol-setup class=no-num>Basic safe CORS protocol setup</h3>

<p>For resources where data is protected through IP authentication or a firewall
(unfortunately relatively common still), using the <a>CORS protocol</a> is
<strong>unsafe</strong>. (This is the reason why the <a>CORS protocol</a> had to be
invented.)

<p>However, otherwise using the following <a for=/>header</a> is
<strong>safe</strong>:

<pre><code class=lang-http>
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
</code></pre>

<p>Even if a resource exposes additional information based on cookie or HTTP
authentication, using the above <a for=/>header</a> will not reveal
it. It will share the resource with APIs such as
{{XMLHttpRequest}}, much like it is already shared with
<code>curl</code> and <code>wget</code>.

<p>Thus in other words, if a resource cannot be accessed from a random device connected to
the web using <code>curl</code> and <code>wget</code> the aforementioned
<a for=/>header</a> is not to be included. If it can be accessed
however, it is perfectly fine to do so.


<h3 id=cors-protocol-and-http-caches class=no-num>CORS protocol and HTTP caches</h3>

<p>If <a>CORS protocol</a> requirements are more complicated than setting
`<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code></a>` to <code>*</code> or a static
<a for=/>origin</a>, `<code>Vary</code>` is to be used.
[[!HTML]] [[!HTTP]] [[!HTTP-CACHING]]

<pre id=example-vary-origin class=example><code class=lang-http>
Vary: Origin
</code></pre>

<p>In particular, consider what happens if `<code>Vary</code>` is <em>not</em> used and a server is
configured to send `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code></a>` for a certain
resource only in response to a <a>CORS request</a>. When a user agent receives a response to a
non-<a>CORS request</a> for that resource (for example, as the result of a <a>navigation
request</a>), the response will lack `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code></a>`
and the user agent will cache that response. Then, if the user agent subsequently encounters a
<a>CORS request</a> for the resource, it will use that cached response from the previous
non-<a>CORS request</a>, without `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code></a>`.

<p>But if `<code>Vary: Origin</code>` is used in the same scenario described above, it will cause
the user agent to <a for=/>fetch</a> a response that includes
`<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code></a>`, rather than using the cached response
from the previous non-<a>CORS request</a> that lacks
`<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code></a>`.

<p>However, if `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code></a>` is set to
<code>*</code> or a static <a for=/>origin</a> for a particular resource, then configure the server
to always send `<a http-header><code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code></a>` in responses for the
resource — for non-<a>CORS requests</a> as well as <a>CORS
requests</a> — and do not use `<code>Vary</code>`.


<h3 class=no-num id=websocket-protocol oldids=websocket-connections,websocket-opening-handshake,fail-the-websocket-connection,the-websocket-connection-is-established>WebSockets</h2>

<p>As part of establishing a connection, the {{WebSocket}} object initiates a special kind of
<a for=/>fetch</a> (using a <a for=/>request</a> whose <a for=request>mode</a> is
"<code>websocket</code>") which allows it to share in many fetch policy decisions, such
<cite>HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)</cite>. Ultimately this results in fetch calling into
<cite>WebSockets</cite> to obtain a dedicated connection. [[WEBSOCKETS]]
[[HSTS]]

<p class=note>Fetch used to define
<a id=concept-websocket-connection-obtain>obtain a WebSocket connection</a> and
<a spec=websockets id=concept-websocket-establish>establish a WebSocket connection</a> directly, but
both are now defined in <cite>WebSockets</cite>. [[WEBSOCKETS]]



<h2 id=fetch-elsewhere class=no-num>Using fetch in other standards</h2>

<p>In its essence <a for=/>fetching</a> is an exchange of a <a for=/>request</a> for a
<a for=/>response</a>. In reality it is rather complex mechanism for standards to adopt and use
correctly. This section aims to give some advice.

<p class=warning>Always ask domain experts for review.

<p class=XXX>This is a work in progress.


<h3 id=fetch-elsewhere-fetch class=no-num>Invoking fetch</h3>

<p>Aside from a <a for=/>request</a> the <a for=/>fetch</a> operation takes several optional
arguments. For those arguments that take an algorithm: the algorithm will be called from a task (or
in a <a for=/>parallel queue</a> if <a for=fetch><i>useParallelQueue</i></a> is true).

<dl>
 <dt><a for=fetch><i>processRequestBodyChunkLength</i></a>
 <dd><p>Takes an algorithm that will be passed the number of bytes that have been transmitted from
 the <a for=/>request</a>'s <a for=request>body</a>. The algorithm will be invoked for each
 transmitted chunk. Most standards will not need this.

 <dt><a for=fetch><i>processRequestEndOfBody</i></a>
 <dd><p>Takes an algorithm that will be passed nothing. Indicates <a for=/>request</a>'s
 <a for=request>body</a> has been transmitted. Most standards will not need this.

 <dt><a for=fetch><i>processEarlyHintsResponse</i></a>
 <dd><p>Takes an algorithm that will be passed a <a for=/>response</a> (whose
 <a for=response>status</a> is 103). Can only be used for navigations as defined by
 <cite>HTML</cite>. [[HTML]]

 <dt><a for=fetch><i>processResponse</i></a>
 <dd>
  <p>Takes an algorithm that will be passed a <a for=/>response</a>. Indicates
  <a for=/>response</a>'s <a for=response>header list</a> has been received and initialized. This
  is primarily useful for standards that want to operate on <a for=/>response</a>'s
  <a for=response>body</a>'s <a for=body>stream</a> directly.

  <p>If the <a for=/>request</a>'s <a for=request>mode</a> is "<code>navigate</code>" and its
  <a for=request>redirect mode</a> is "<code>manual</code>", then callers need to follow a very
  specific flow with this algorithm to get the intended behavior. They should compute the
  appropriate <a for=response>location URL</a>, and if it is non-null or failure, then they should
  call <a for="fetch controller">process the next manual redirect</a>. This will result in
  <a for=fetch><i>processResponse</i></a> being called again, with the next <a for=/>response</a>
  in the redirect chain.

 <dt><a for=fetch><i>processResponseEndOfBody</i></a>
 <dd><p>Takes an algorithm that will be passed a <a for=/>response</a>. Indicates the network is
 done transmitting the response. This does not read <a for=/>response</a>'s
 <a for=response>body</a>.

 <dt><a for=fetch><i>processResponseConsumeBody</i></a>
 <dd>
  <p>Takes an algorithm that will be passed a <a for=/>response</a> and null, failure, or a
  <a>byte sequence</a>. This is useful for standards that wish to operate on the entire
  <a for=/>response</a>'s <a for=response>body</a>, of which the result of reading it is supplied as
  second argument. The second argument's values have the following meaning:

  <dl>
   <dt>null
   <dd>The <a for=/>response</a>'s <a for=response>body</a> is null, due to the response being a
   <a for=/>network error</a> or having a <a>null body status</a>.

   <dt>failure
   <dd>Attempting to <a for=body>fully read</a> the contents of the <a for=/>response</a>'s
   <a for=response>body</a> failed, e.g., due to an I/O error.

   <dt>a <a>byte sequence</a>
   <dd><a for=body>Fully reading</a> the contents of the <a for=/>response</a>'s
   <a for=response>body</a> succeeded.
  </dl>

  <p class=warning>A standard that uses this argument cannot operate on <a for=/>response</a>'s
  <a for=response>body</a> itself as providing this argument will cause it to be read and it can be
  read only once.

 <dt><a for=fetch><i>useParallelQueue</i></a>
 <dd><p>Takes a <a for=/>boolean</a> that defaults to false. Indicates where the algorithms passed
 as arguments will be invoked. Hopefully most standards will not need this.
</dl>

<p>When invoked, the <a for=/>fetch</a> operation returns a <a for=/>fetch controller</a>. The
controller is used for performing actions on a fetch operation that has already started, such as
<a for="fetch controller" lt=abort>aborting</a> the operation by the user or page logic, or
<a for="fetch controller" lt=terminate>terminating</a> it due to a browser-internal circumstance.
