Hello,

Summary: The Fetch specification unifies fetching across the web platform. The 
intention of Bug 1039846 is to implement the content facing aspects of the 
Fetch specification, namely:
- Request/Response/Headers/FetchBodyStream objects
- Expose the fetch() method on windows and workers.

fetch() is a more granular, Promise-based, easy to use form of XHR. 
ServiceWorkers also rely on the specification since they use these Requests and 
Responses to provide valid responses to network interception of resource 
requests from the pages they control. Some of the underlying infrastructure 
will also be used by the Cache/FetchStorage API exposed to ServiceWorkers.

Bug: https://bugzil.la/1039846
Link to standard: http://fetch.spec.whatwg.org
Platform coverage: Android, Desktop, Firefox OS
Estimated or target release: Firefox 36
Preference behind which this will be implemented: dom.fetch.enabled
