<h2 class="no-num short" id="goals">Goals</h2>
<p>To unify fetching across the web platform this specification supplants a number of algorithms and specifications:
<ul class="brief no-backref">
<li>HTML Standard's fetch and potentially CORS-enabled fetch algorithms
<a class="informative" href="#refsHTML">[HTML]</a>
<li>CORS <a class="informative" href="#refsCORS">[CORS]</a>
<li>HTTP `<a href="#http-origin"><code title="http-origin">Origin</code></a>` header semantics
<a class="informative" href="#refsORIGIN">[ORIGIN]</a>
</ul>
<p>Unifying fetching provides consistent handling of:
<ul class="brief">
<li>URL schemes
<li>Redirects
<li>Cross-origin semantics
<li>CSP <a href="#refsCSP">[CSP]</a>
<li>Service workers <a href="#refsSW">[SW]</a>
<li>Mixed Content <a href="#refsMIX">[MIX]</a>
<li>`<code title="">Referer</code>` <a href="#refsREFERRER">[REFERRER]</a>
</ul>
<h2 class="short" id="preface"><span class="secno">1 </span>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 href="#dom-global-fetch"><code title="dom-global-fetch">fetch()</code></a>
JavaScript API, which exposes most of the networking functionality at a fairly low level
of abstraction.
<h2 class="short" id="conformance"><span class="secno">2 </span>Conformance</h2>
<p>All diagrams, examples, and notes in this specification are
non-normative, as are all sections explicitly marked non-normative.
Everything else in this specification is normative.
<p>The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", <!--"SHALL", "SHALL
NOT",--> "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in the normative parts of this specification are to be
interpreted as described in RFC2119. For readability, these words do
not appear in all uppercase letters in this specification.

<p>This specification uses terminology from the ABNF, Encoding, HTML, IDL, Streams, and URL Standards.

<p>A <a class="external" data-anolis-spec="encoding" href="https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#byte">byte</a> sequence with bytes in the range 0x00 to
0x7F, inclusive, is represented as a <a class="external" data-anolis-spec="encoding" href="https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#utf-8">utf-8</a>-encoded
<a class="external" data-anolis-spec="encoding" href="https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#string">string</a> with code points in the range U+0000 to
U+007F, inclusive. To avoid confusion with an actual string, backticks are used.
<p class="example">"<code title="">true</code>" is a
<a class="external" data-anolis-spec="encoding" href="https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#string">string</a>, while `<code title="">true</code>` is a
byte sequence.
<p>Comparing two byte sequences in a <dfn id="byte-case-insensitive">byte-case-insensitive</dfn> manner means
comparing them exactly, byte for byte, except that the bytes in the range 0x41 to 0x5A,
inclusive, are considered to also match their corresponding byte in the range 0x61 to
0x7A, inclusive.
<p>A <dfn id="case-insensitive-byte-sequence">case-insensitive byte sequence</dfn> is a byte sequence that when compared to
another byte sequence does so in a <a href="#byte-case-insensitive">byte-case-insensitive</a> manner.
<p class="example">The
<a href="#case-insensitive-byte-sequence" title="case-insensitive byte sequence">case-insensitive byte sequences</a>
`<code title="">Content-Type</code>` and `<code title="">content-TYPE</code>` are equal.
<p>To <dfn id="byte-lowercase">byte-lowercase</dfn> a byte sequence, increase each byte it contains, in the
range 0x41 to 0x5A, inclusive, by 0x20.
<p>To <dfn id="byte-uppercase">byte-uppercase</dfn> a byte sequence, subtract each byte it contains, in the
range 0x61 to 0x7A, inclusive, by 0x20.

<p>A <dfn id="fetch-url">fetch URL</dfn> is a <a class="external" data-anolis-spec="url" href="https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-url" title="concept-url">URL</a> for

exposed. When <a class="external" data-anolis-spec="url" href="https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-url-serializer" title="concept-url-serializer">serialized</a>,
the <i title="">exclude fragment flag</i> is set, meaning implementations can store the
