While very useful, XHR is not a very nice API. It suffers from lack of separation of concerns. The input, output and state are all managed by interacting with one object, and state is tracked using events. Also, the event-based model doesn’t play well with JavaScript’s recent focus on Promise- and generator-based asynchronous programming.</p> + <p>The <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API">Fetch API</a> intends to fix most of these problems. It does this by introducing the same primitives to JS that are used in the HTTP protocol. In addition, it introduces a utility function <code>fetch()</code> that succinctly captures the intention of retrieving a resource from the network.</p> + <p>The <a href="https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org">Fetch specification</a>, which defines the API, nails down the semantics of a user agent fetching a resource. This, combined with ServiceWorkers, is an attempt to:</p> + <ol> + <li>Improve the offline experience.</li> + <li>Expose the building blocks of the Web to the platform as part of the <a href="https://extensiblewebmanifesto.org/">extensible web movement</a>.</li> + </ol> + <p>As of this writing, the Fetch API is available in Firefox 39 (currently Nightly) and Chrome 42 (currently dev).

This is not exposed to the Web, but it affects which mutation operations are allowed on the Headers object. + <br/>Possible values are:</p> + <ul> + <li>“none”: default.</li> + <li>“request”: guard for a Headers object obtained from a Request (<code>Request.headers</code>).</li> + <li>“request-no-cors”: guard for a Headers object obtained from a Request created + <br/>with mode “no-cors”.</li> + <li>“response”: naturally, for Headers obtained from Response (<code>Response.headers</code>).</li> + <li>“immutable”: Mostly used for ServiceWorkers, renders a Headers object + <br/>read-only.</li> + </ul> + <p>The details of how each guard affects the behaviors of the Headers object are + <br/>in the <a href="https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org">specification</a>. For example, you may not append or set a “request” guarded Headers’ “Content-Length” header. Similarly, inserting “Set-Cookie” into a Response header is not allowed so that ServiceWorkers may not set cookies via synthesized Responses.</p> + <p>All of the Headers methods throw TypeError if <code>name</code> is not a <a href="https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-header-name">valid HTTP Header name</a>. The mutation operations will throw TypeError if there is an immutable guard. Otherwise they fail silently.

First, it prevents the method from being anything other than “HEAD”, “GET” or “POST”. Second, if any ServiceWorkers intercept these requests, they may not add or override any headers except for <a href="https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#simple-header">these</a>. Third, JavaScript may not access any properties of the resulting Response. This ensures that ServiceWorkers do not affect the semantics of the Web and prevents security and privacy issues that could arise from leaking data across domains.</p> + <p><code>"cors"</code> mode is what you’ll usually use to make known cross-origin requests to access various APIs offered by other vendors. These are expected to adhere to + <br/>the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Access_control_CORS">CORS protocol</a>. Only a <a href="https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-filtered-response-cors">limited set</a> of headers is exposed in the Response, but the body is readable.

This is similar to XHR’s <code>withCredentials</code> + <br/>flag, but tri-valued as <code>"omit"</code> (default), <code>"same-origin"</code> and <code>"include"</code>.</p> + <p>The Request object will also give the ability to offer caching hints to the user-agent. This is currently undergoing some <a href="https://github.com/slightlyoff/ServiceWorker/issues/585">security review</a>. Firefox exposes the attribute, but it has no effect.</p> + <p>Requests have two read-only attributes that are relevant to ServiceWorkers + <br/>intercepting them. There is the string <code>referrer</code>, which is set by the UA to be + <br/>the referrer of the Request. This may be an empty string. The other is + <br/> <code>context</code> which is a rather <a href="https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#requestcredentials">large enumeration</a> defining what sort of resource is being fetched. This could be “image” if the request is from an <img>tag in the controlled document, “worker” if it is an attempt to load a worker script, and so on. When used with the <code>fetch()</code> function, it is “fetch”.</p> + <h2>Response</h2> + <p><code>Response</code> instances are returned by calls to <code>fetch()</code>. They can also be created by JS, but this is only useful in ServiceWorkers.</p> + <p>We have already seen some attributes of Response when we looked at <code>fetch()</code>. The most obvious candidates are <code>status</code>, an integer (default value 200) and <code>statusText</code> (default value “OK”), which correspond to the HTTP status code and reason. The <code>ok</code> attribute is just a shorthand for checking that <code>status</code> is in the range 200-299 inclusive.</p> + <p><code>headers</code> is the Response’s Headers object, with guard “response”. The <code>url</code> attribute reflects the URL of the corresponding request.</p> + <p>Response also has a <code>type</code>, which is “basic”, “cors”, “default”, “error” or + <br/>“opaque”.</p> + <ul> + <li><code>"basic"</code>: normal, same origin response, with all headers exposed except + <br/>“Set-Cookie” and “Set-Cookie2″.</li> + <li><code>"cors"</code>: response was received from a valid cross-origin request. <a href="https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-filtered-response-cors">Certain headers and the body</a>may be accessed.</li> + <li><code>"error"</code>: network error. No useful information describing the error is available. The Response’s status is 0, headers are empty and immutable. This is the type for a Response obtained from <code>Response.error()</code>.</li> + <li><code>"opaque"</code>: response for “no-cors” request to cross-origin resource. <a href="https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-filtered-response-opaque">Severely<br/> + restricted</a> </li> + </ul> + <p>The “error” type results in the <code>fetch()</code> Promise rejecting with TypeError.</p> + <p>There are certain attributes that are useful only in a ServiceWorker scope. The + <br/>idiomatic way to return a Response to an intercepted request in ServiceWorkers is:</p> + <div class="wp_syntax"> + <table> + <tbody> + <tr> + <td class="code"><pre class="javascript">addEventListener<span>(</span><span>'fetch'</span><span>,</span> <span>function</span><span>(</span>event<span>)</span> <span>{</span> + event.<span>respondWith</span><span>(</span><span>new</span> Response<span>(</span><span>"Response body"</span><span>,</span> <span>{</span> + headers<span>:</span> <span>{</span> <span>"Content-Type"</span> <span>:</span> <span>"text/plain"</span> <span>}</span> + <span>}</span><span>)</span><span>;</span> +<span>}</span><span>)</span><span>;</span></pre> </td> + </tr> + </tbody> + </table> + </div> + <p>As you can see, Response has a two argument constructor, where both arguments are optional. The first argument is a body initializer, and the second is a dictionary to set the <code>status</code>, <code>statusText</code> and <code>headers</code>.</p> + <p>The static method <code>Response.error()</code> simply returns an error response. Similarly, <code>Response.redirect(url, status)</code> returns a Response resulting in + <br/>a redirect to <code>url</code>.</p> + <h2>Dealing with bodies</h2> + <p>Both Requests and Responses may contain body data. We’ve been glossing over it because of the various data types body may contain, but we will cover it in detail now.</p> + <p>A body is an instance of any of the following types.</p> + <ul> + <li><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/ArrayBuffer">ArrayBuffer</a> </li> + <li><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ArrayBufferView">ArrayBufferView</a> (Uint8Array and friends)</li> + <li><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Blob">Blob</a>/ <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File">File</a> </li> + <li>string</li> + <li><a href="https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#interface-urlsearchparams">URLSearchParams</a> </li> + <li><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FormData">FormData</a> – currently not supported by either Gecko or Blink.

The API provides a <code>clone()</code> method on the two interfaces.

While very useful, XHR is not a very + nice API. It suffers from lack of separation of concerns.
