<h2 id=goals class="no-num short">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
 [[HTML]]
 <li>CORS [[CORS]]
 <li>HTTP `<a http-header><code>Origin</code></a>` header semantics
 [[ORIGIN]]
</ul>

<p>Unifying fetching provides consistent handling of:

<ul class=brief>
 <li>URL schemes
 <li>Redirects
 <li>Cross-origin semantics
 <li>CSP [[!CSP]]
 <li>Service workers [[!SW]]
 <li>Mixed Content [[!MIX]]
 <li>`<code>Referer</code>` [[!REFERRER]]
</ul>



<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><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 the ABNF, Encoding, HTML, HTTP, IDL, MIME Sniffing,
Streams, and URL Standards.
[[!ABNF]]
[[!ENCODING]]
[[!HTML]]
[[!HTTP]]
[[!WEBIDL]]
[[!MIMESNIFF]]
[[!STREAMS]]
[[!URL]]

<p><dfn>ABNF</dfn> means ABNF as modified by HTTP (in particular the addition <code>#</code>).

<hr>

<p><dfn id=credentials export>Credentials</dfn> are HTTP cookies, TLS client certificates, and <a
lt="authentication entry">authentication entries</a> (for HTTP authentication). [[!COOKIES]]
[[!TLS]] [[!HTTP-AUTH]]

<hr>

<p><a>Tasks</a> that are
<a lt="queue a task">queued</a> by this standard are annotated as one
of:

<ul class=brief>
 <li><dfn export>process request body</dfn>
 <li id=process-request-end-of-file><dfn export>process request end-of-body</dfn>
 <li><dfn export>process response</dfn>
 <li id=process-response-end-of-file><dfn export>process response end-of-body</dfn>
 <li><dfn export>process response done</dfn>
</ul>

<p>To <dfn>queue a fetch task</dfn> on <a for=/>request</a>
<var>request</var> to <var>run an operation</var>, run these steps:

<ol>
 <li><p>If <var>request</var>'s <a for=request>client</a> is
 null, terminate these steps.

 <li><p><a>Queue a task</a> to
 <var>run an operation</var> on <var>request</var>'s
 <a for=request>client</a>'s
 <a>responsible event loop</a> using the
 <a>networking task source</a>.
</ol>

<p>To <dfn>queue a fetch-request-done task</dfn>, given a <var>request</var>,
<a>queue a fetch task</a> on <var>request</var> to <a>process request end-of-body</a>
for <var>request</var>.


<h3 id=url>URL</h3>

<p>A <dfn export>local scheme</dfn> is a <a for=url>scheme</a> that is "<code>about</code>",
"<code>blob</code>", "<code>data</code>", or "<code>filesystem</code>".

<p>A <a for=/>URL</a> <dfn export>is local</dfn> if its <a for=url>scheme</a> is a
<a>local scheme</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 a <a for=url>scheme</a> that is
"<code>http</code>" or "<code>https</code>".

<p>A <dfn export>network scheme</dfn> is a <a for=url>scheme</a> that is "<code>ftp</code>" or an
<a>HTTP(S) scheme</a>.

<p>A <dfn export>fetch scheme</dfn> is a <a for=url>scheme</a> that is "<code>about</code>",
"<code>blob</code>", "<code>data</code>", "<code>file</code>", "<code>filesystem</code>", or a
<a>network scheme</a>.

<p class="note no-backref"><a>HTTP(S) scheme</a>, <a>network scheme</a>, and <a>fetch scheme</a> are
also used by <cite>HTML</cite>. [[HTML]]

<hr>

<p id=fetch-url>A <dfn>response URL</dfn> is a <a for=/>URL</a> for which implementations need not
store the <a for=url>fragment</a> as it is never exposed. When
<a lt="url serializer">serialized</a>, the <i>exclude fragment flag</i> is set, meaning
implementations can store the <a for=url>fragment</a> nonetheless.


<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>The <dfn export>HTTP whitespace bytes</dfn> are 0x09, 0x0A, 0x0D, and 0x20.

<p>An <dfn export id=concept-https-state-value>HTTPS state value</dfn> is "<code>none</code>",
"<code>deprecated</code>", or "<code>modern</code>".

<p class="note no-backref">A <a for=/>response</a> delivered over HTTPS will
typically have its <a for=response>HTTPS state</a> set to
"<code>modern</code>". A user agent can use "<code>deprecated</code>" in a transition
period. E.g., while removing support for a hash function, weak cipher suites, certificates for an
"Internal Name", or certificates with an overly long validity period. How exactly a user agent can
use "<code>deprecated</code>" is not defined by this specification. An
<a>environment settings object</a> typically derives its
<a for="environment settings object">HTTPS state</a> from a <a for=/>response</a>.


<h4 id=methods>Methods</h4>

<p>A <dfn export id=concept-method>method</dfn> is a byte sequence that matches the
<a spec=http>method</a> token production.

<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
<a>byte-case-insensitive</a> match for `<code>CONNECT</code>`,
`<code>TRACE</code>`, or `<code>TRACK</code>`.
[[HTTPVERBSEC1]], [[HTTPVERBSEC2]], [[HTTPVERBSEC3]]

<p>To <dfn export for=method id=concept-method-normalize>normalize</dfn> a
<a for=/>method</a>, if it is a <a>byte-case-insensitive</a>
match for `<code>DELETE</code>`, `<code>GET</code>`,
`<code>HEAD</code>`, `<code>OPTIONS</code>`, `<code>POST</code>`, or
`<code>PUT</code>`, <a>byte-uppercase</a> it.

<p class="note no-backref"><a lt=normalize for=method>Normalization</a> is
done for backwards compatibility and consistency across APIs as
<a for=/>methods</a> are actually "case-sensitive".

<p id=example-normalization class=example>Using `<code>patch</code>` is highly likely to result in a
`<code>405 Method Not Allowed</code>`. `<code>PATCH</code>` is much more likely to
succeed.

<p class="note no-backref">There are no restrictions on <a for=/>methods</a>.
`<code>CHICKEN</code>` is perfectly acceptable (and not a misspelling of
`<code>CHECKIN</code>`). Other than those that are
<a lt=normalize for=method>normalized</a> there are no casing restrictions either.
`<code>Egg</code>` or `<code>eGg</code>` would be fine, though uppercase is encouraged
for consistency.


<h4 id=terminology-headers>Headers</h4>

<p>A <dfn export id=concept-header-list>header list</dfn> is a <a for=/>list</a> of zero or more
<a for=/>headers</a>. It is initially the empty list.

<p class="note no-backref">A <a for=/>header list</a> is essentially a
specialized multimap. An ordered list of key-value pairs with potentially duplicate keys.

<p>A <a for=/>header list</a> (<var>list</var>)
<dfn export for="header list" lt="contains|does not contain">contains</dfn> a <a for=header>name</a>
(<var>name</var>) if <var>list</var> <a for=list>contains</a> a <a for=/>header</a> whose

<p>To <dfn export for="header list" id=concept-header-list-append>append</dfn> a
<a for=header>name</a>/<a for=header>value</a> (<var>name</var>/<var>value</var>) pair to a

<ol>
 <li>
  <p>If <var>list</var> <a for="header list">contains</a> <var>name</var>, then set <var>name</var>
  to the first such <a for=/>header</a>'s <a for=header>name</a>.

  <p class="note no-backref">This reuses the casing of the <a for=header>name</a> of the

  <a for=/>headers</a> their <a for=header>names</a> will all be identical.

<h4 id=responses>Responses</h4>

<p>The result of <a for=/>fetch</a> is a
<dfn export id=concept-response>response</dfn>. A <a for=/>response</a>
evolves over time. That is, not all its fields are available straight away.

<p>A <a for=/>response</a> has an associated
<dfn export for=response id=concept-response-type>type</dfn> which is
"<code>basic</code>",
"<code>cors</code>",
"<code>default</code>",
"<code>error</code>",
"<code>opaque</code>", or
"<code>opaqueredirect</code>".
Unless stated otherwise, it is "<code>default</code>".

<p>A <a for=/>response</a> can have an associated
<dfn export for=response id=concept-response-aborted>aborted flag</dfn>, which is initially unset.

<p class="note">This indicates that the request was intentionally aborted by the developer or
end-user.

<p>A <a for=/>response</a> has an associated
<dfn export for=response id=concept-response-url>url</dfn>. It is a pointer to the
last <a>response URL</a> in <a for=/>response</a>'s
<a for=response>url list</a> and null if
<a for=/>response</a>'s <a for=response>url list</a>
is the empty list.

<p>A <a for=/>response</a> has an associated
<dfn export for=response id=concept-response-url-list>url list</dfn> (a list of
zero or more <a>response URLs</a>). Unless stated otherwise, it is the
empty list.

<p class="note no-backref">Except for the last <a>response URL</a>, if any, a
<a for=/>response</a>'s <a for=response>url list</a>
cannot be exposed to script. That would violate <a>atomic HTTP redirect handling</a>.

<p>A <a for=/>response</a> has an associated
<dfn export for=response id=concept-response-status>status</dfn>, which is a
<a for=/>status</a>. Unless stated otherwise it is <code>200</code>.

<p>A <a for=/>response</a> has an associated
<dfn export for=response id=concept-response-status-message>status message</dfn>. Unless stated
otherwise it is the empty byte sequence.

<p class=note>Responses over an HTTP/2 connection will always have the empty byte sequence as status
message as HTTP/2 does not support them.

<p>A <a for=/>response</a> has an associated
<dfn export for=response id=concept-response-header-list>header list</dfn> (a
<a for=/>header list</a>). Unless stated otherwise it is empty.

<p>A <a for=/>response</a> has an associated
<dfn export for=response id=concept-response-body>body</dfn> (null or a
<a for=/>body</a>). Unless stated otherwise it is null.

<p>A <a for=/>response</a> has an associated

<a for=/>header list</a>). Unless stated otherwise it is empty.

<p>A <a for=/>response</a> has an associated
<dfn export for=response id=concept-response-trailer-failed>trailer failed flag</dfn>, which is
initially unset.

<p>A <a for=/>response</a> has an associated
<dfn export for=response id=concept-response-cache-state>cache state</dfn> (the empty string or
"<code>local</code>"). Unlesss stated otherwise, it is the empty string.

<p class=note>This is intended solely for usage by service workers. [[SW]]
<!-- If we ever expand the utility of this we need to carefully consider whether filtered responses
     need to mask it, whether the cache API needs to store it, etc. -->

<p>A <a for=/>response</a> has an associated

<a>HTTPS state value</a>). Unless stated otherwise, it is
"<code>none</code>".

<p>A <a for=/>response</a> has an associated

(a list of zero or more <a for=/>header</a>
<a lt=name for=header>names</a>). The list is empty unless otherwise specified.

<p class="note no-backref">A <a for=/>response</a> will typically get its
<a for=response>CORS-exposed header-name list</a> set by <a>extracting header values</a> from the

<p>A <a for=/>response</a> can have an associated
<dfn export for=response id=concept-response-location-url>location URL</dfn> (null, failure, or a
<a for=/>URL</a>). Unless specified otherwise, <a for=/>response</a> has no

<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>omit</code>", 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 how long 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>In case a server does not wish to participate in the <a>CORS protocol</a>, its HTTP response to
the <a lt="CORS request">CORS</a> or <a>CORS-preflight request</a> must not include any of the above
<a for=/>headers</a>. The server is encouraged to use the <code>403</code> <a for=/>status</a> in
such HTTP responses.


<h4 id=http-new-header-syntax>HTTP new-header syntax</h4>

<p><a>ABNF</a> for the <a lt=value for=header>values</a> of the
<a for=/>headers</a> used by the <a>CORS protocol</a>:

<pre>
Access-Control-Request-Method    = <a spec=http>method</a>
Access-Control-Request-Headers   = 1#<a spec=http>field-name</a>

wildcard                         = "*"
Access-Control-Allow-Origin      = origin-or-null / wildcard
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials = %x74.72.75.65 ; "true", case-sensitive
Access-Control-Expose-Headers    = #<a spec=http>field-name</a>

Access-Control-Allow-Methods     = #<a spec=http>method</a>
Access-Control-Allow-Headers     = #<a spec=http>field-name</a></pre>

<p class=note>For `<code>Access-Control-Expose-Headers</code>`,
`<code>Access-Control-Allow-Methods</code>`, and `<code>Access-Control-Allow-Headers</code>`
response <a for=/>headers</a> the <a for=header>value</a> `<code>*</code>` counts as a wildcard for
<a for=/>requests</a> without <a for=/>credentials</a>. For such <a for=/>requests</a> there is no
way to solely match a <a for=/>header</a> <a for=header>name</a> or <a for=/>method</a> that is
`<code>*</code>`.


<h4 id=cors-protocol-and-credentials>CORS protocol and credentials</h4>

<!-- non-normative -->

<p>When <a for=/>request</a>'s
<a for=request>credentials mode</a> is "<code>include</code>" it
has an impact on the functioning of the <a>CORS protocol</a> other than including
<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>
var client = new XMLHttpRequest()
client.open("GET", "./")
client.withCredentials = true
/* … */</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 serialized 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>
var url = "https://bar.invalid/api?key=730d67a37d7f3d802e96396d00280768773813fbe726d116944d814422fc1a45&amp;data=about:unicorn";
fetch(url).then(success, failure)</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>
Origin: https://foo.invalid</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>
fetch(url).then(response => {
  var hsts = response.headers.get("strict-transport-security"),
      csp = response.headers.get("content-security-policy")
  log(hsts, csp)
})</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>
Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains; preload
Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Content-Security-Policy</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>
fetch(url, { credentials:"include" }).then(success, failure)</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>
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://foo.invalid
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true</pre>

 <p>If the response does not include those two headers with those values, the <code>failure</code>
 callback will be invoked and any `<code>Set-Cookie</code>` response headers will end up being
 ignored.
</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/report</code>` [[REPORTING]]
 <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>.

<h3 id=corb>CORB</h3>

<p class="note">Cross-origin read blocking, better known as CORB, is an algorithm which identifies
dubious cross-origin resource fetches (e.g., fetches that would fail anyway like attempts to render
JSON inside an <code>img</code> element) and blocks them before they reach a web page. CORB reduces
the risk of leaking sensitive data by keeping it further from cross-origin web pages.

<p>A <dfn>CORB-protected MIME type</dfn> is an <a>HTML MIME type</a>, a <a>JSON MIME type</a>, or an
<a>XML MIME type</a> excluding <code>image/svg+xml</code>.

<p class="note no-backref">Even without CORB, accessing the content of cross-origin resources with
<a>CORB-protected MIME types</a> is either managed by the <a>CORS protocol</a> (e.g., in case of
{{XMLHttpRequest}}), not observable (e.g., in case of pings or CSP reports which ignore the
response), or would result in an error (e.g., when failing to decode an HTML document embedded in an
<code>img</code> element as an image). This means that CORB can block
<a>CORB-protected MIME types</a> resources without being disruptive to web pages.

<p>To perform a <dfn noexport>CORB check</dfn>, given a <var>request</var> and <var>response</var>,
run these steps:</p>

<ol>
 <li>
  <p>If <var>request</var>'s <a for=request>initiator</a> is "<code>download</code>", then return
  <b>allowed</b>.

  <p class=XXX>If we recast downloading as navigation this step can be removed.

 <li><p>If <var>request</var>'s <a for=request>current url</a>'s <a for=url>scheme</a> is not an
 <a>HTTP(S) scheme</a>, then return <b>allowed</b>.

 <li><p>Let <var>mimeType</var> be the result of <a for="header list">extracting a MIME type</a>
 from <var>response</var>'s <a for=response>header list</a>.

 <li><p>If <var>response</var>'s <a for=response>status</a> is <code>206</code> and
 <var>mimeType</var> (ignoring parameters) is a <a>CORB-protected MIME type</a>, then return
 <b>blocked</b>.

 <li><p>Let <var>nosniff</var> be the result of <a>extracting header values</a> from the
 <em>first</em> <a for=/>header</a> whose <a for=header>name</a> is a <a>byte-case-insensitive</a>
 match for `<a http-header><code>X-Content-Type-Options</code></a>` in <var>response</var>'s
 <a for=response>header list</a>.

 <li>
  <p>If <var>nosniff</var> is not failure and <var>mimeType</var> (ignoring parameters) is a
  <a>CORB-protected MIME type</a> or <code>text/plain</code>, then return <b>blocked</b>.

  <p class="note no-backref">CORB only protects <code>text/plain</code> responses with a
  `<code>X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff</code>` header. Unfortunately, protecting such responses
  without that header when their <a for=response>status</a> is <code>206</code> would break too many
  existing video responses that have a <code>text/plain</code> MIME type.

<h2 id=fetching>Fetching</h2>

<div class="note no-backref">
 <p>The algorithm below defines <a lt=fetch for=/>fetching</a>. In broad
 strokes, it takes a <a for=/>request</a> and outputs a

<p>To perform a <dfn export id=concept-fetch>fetch</dfn> using <var>request</var>, run
the steps below. An ongoing <a for=/>fetch</a> can be

which is unset unless otherwise specified.

<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

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

<p class=no-backref>The <a><code>fetch()</code></a> method is relatively
low-level API for <a lt=fetch for=/>fetching</a> resources. It covers slightly
more ground than {{XMLHttpRequest}}, although it is
currently lacking when it comes to request progression (not response progression).

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

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

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

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

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

 <pre>
fetch("https://pk.example/berlin-calling.json", {mode:"cors"})
  .then(res => {
    if(res.headers.get("content-type") &amp;&amp;
       res.headers.get("content-type").toLowerCase().indexOf("application/json") >= 0) {
      return res.json()
    } else {
      throw new TypeError()
    }
  }).then(processJSON)</pre>

 <p>If you want to work with URL query parameters:

 <pre>
var url = new URL("https://geo.example.org/api"),
    params = {lat:35.696233, long:139.570431}
Object.keys(params).forEach(key => url.searchParams.append(key, params[key]))
fetch(url).then(/* … */)</pre>

 <p>If you want to receive the body data progressively:

 <pre>
function consume(reader) {
  var total = 0
  return pump()
  function pump() {
    return reader.read().then(({done, value}) => {
      if (done) {
        return
      }
      total += value.byteLength
      log(`received ${value.byteLength} bytes (${total} bytes in total)`)
      return pump()
    })
  }
}

fetch("/music/pk/altes-kamuffel.flac")
  .then(res => consume(res.body.getReader()))
  .then(() => log("consumed the entire body without keeping the whole thing in memory!"))
  .catch(e => log("something went wrong: " + e))</pre>

<div class=example id=example-headers-class>
 <p>Constructing a {{Headers}} object from scratch is fairly straightforward. You could pass in a

new Headers(meta)

// The above is equivalent to

]
new Headers(meta)</pre>

  <p class=note>This is done to ensure that when a service worker "redirects" a request, e.g.,
  from an image in a cross-origin stylesheet, and makes modifications, it no longer appears to come
  from the original source (i.e., the cross-origin stylesheet), but instead from the service worker
  that "redirected" the request. This is important as the original source might not even be able to
  generate the same kind of requests as the service worker. Services that trust the original source
  could therefore be exploited were this not done, although that is somewhat farfetched.

<h2 id=websocket-protocol>WebSocket protocol alterations</h2>

<div class=note>
 <p>This section replaces part of the WebSocket protocol opening handshake client requirement to
 integrate it with algorithms defined in Fetch. This way CSP, cookies, HSTS, and other Fetch-related
 protocols are handled in a single location. Ideally the RFC would be updated with this language,
 but it is never that easy. The WebSocket API, defined in the HTML Standard, has been updated to use
 this language. [[!WSP]] [[!HTML]]

 <p>The way this works is by replacing The WebSocket Protocol's "establish a WebSocket connection"
 algorithm with a new one that integrates with Fetch. "Establish a WebSocket connection" consists of
 three algorithms: setting up a connection, creating and transmiting a handshake request, and
 validating the handshake response. That layering is different from Fetch, which first creates a
 handshake, then sets up a connection and transmits the handshake, and finally validates the
 response. Keep that in mind while reading these alterations.

 <li><p>Let <var ignore>secure</var> be false, if <var>url</var>'s <a for=url>scheme</a> is

 [[!WSP]]

 <li><p>If that established a connection, return it, and return failure otherwise.

<p class=note>Although structured a little differently, carrying different properties, and
therefore not shareable, a WebSocket connection is very close to identical to an "ordinary"
<a>connection</a>.

<p><dfn>Fail the WebSocket connection</dfn> and <dfn>the WebSocket connection is established</dfn>
are defined by The WebSocket Protocol. [[!WSP]]

<p class=warning>The reason redirects are not followed, HTTP authentication will not function, and
this handshake is generally restricted is because that could introduce serious security problems in
a web browser context. For example, consider a host with a WebSocket server at one path and an open
HTTP redirector at another. Suddenly, any script that can be given a particular WebSocket URL can be
tricked into communicating to (and potentially sharing secrets with) any host on the internet, even
if the script checks that the URL has the right hostname.

<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
<dfn for="data: URL struct">MIME type</dfn> (a <a for=/>MIME type</a>) and a
<dfn for="data: URL struct">body</dfn> (a <a>byte sequence</a>).

<p>The <dfn export><code>data:</code> URL processor</dfn> takes a <a for=/>URL</a>
<var>dataURL</var> and then runs these steps:

<ol>
 <li><p>Assert: <var>dataURL</var>'s <a for=url>scheme</a> is "<code>data</code>".

 <li><p>Let <var>input</var> be the result of running the <a>URL serializer</a> on
 <var>dataURL</var> with the <i>exclude fragment flag</i> set.

 <li><p>Remove the leading "<code>data:</code>" string from <var>input</var>.

 <li><p>Let <var>position</var> point at the start of <var>input</var>.

 <li><p>Let <var>mimeType</var> be the result of <a>collecting a sequence of code points</a> that
 are not equal to U+002C (,), given <var>position</var>.

 <li>
  <p><a>Strip leading and trailing ASCII whitespace</a> from <var>mimeType</var>.

  <p class="note">This will only remove U+0020 SPACE <a>code points</a>, if any.

 <li><p>If <var>position</var> is past the end of <var>input</var>, then return failure.

 <li><p>Advance <var>position</var> by 1.

 <li><p>Let <var>encodedBody</var> be the remainder of <var>input</var>.

 <li><p>Let <var>body</var> be the <a>string percent decoding</a> of <var>encodedBody</var>.

 <li>
  <p>If <var>mimeType</var> ends with U+003B (;), followed by zero or more U+0020 SPACE, followed by
  an <a>ASCII case-insensitive</a> match for "<code>base64</code>", then:

  <ol>
   <li><p>Let <var>stringBody</var> be the <a>isomorphic decode</a> of <var>body</var>.

   <li><p>Set <var>body</var> to the <a>forgiving-base64 decode</a> of <var>stringBody</var>.

   <li><p>If <var>body</var> is failure, then return failure.

   <li><p>Remove the last 6 <a>code points</a> from <var>mimeType</var>.

   <li><p>Remove trailing U+0020 SPACE <a>code points</a> from <var>mimeType</var>, if any.

   <li><p>Remove the last U+003B (;) <a>code point</a> from <var>mimeType</var>.
  </ol>

 <li><p>If <var>mimeType</var> starts with U+003B (;), then prepend "<code>text/plain</code>"
 to <var>mimeType</var>.

 <li><p>Let <var>mimeTypeRecord</var> be the result of <a lt="parse a MIME type">parsing</a>
 <var>mimeType</var>.

 <li><p>If <var>mimeTypeRecord</var> is failure, then set <var>mimeTypeRecord</var> to
 <code>text/plain;charset=US-ASCII</code>.

 <li><p>Return a new <a><code>data:</code> URL struct</a> whose
 <a for="data: URL struct">MIME type</a> is <var>mimeTypeRecord</var> and
 <a for="data: URL struct">body</a> is <var>body</var>.

<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' <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 <a for=/><code>Request</code></a> object).
Developers have almost no control over
<a lt="forbidden header name">forbidden 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=internal>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>
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *</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-SEMANTICS]] [[!HTTP-COND]] [[!HTTP-CACHING]] [[!HTTP-AUTH]]

<pre id=example-vary-origin class=example>Vary: Origin</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>`.
