Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-20004:
----------------------------------------

Are we committing to supporting browser based query of the REST API? That seems 
like something clearly out of scope for us. Typically when one fronts a 
headless service like a datastore with a RESTful API, it is designed for use 
case specific clients, or perhaps a generic client like CURL, but certainly not 
a web browser. It can be accidentally convenient for developers if a web 
browser works against the API, perhaps, but that should be low priority for us, 
especially lower priority than a fix for a security problem.

> Client is not able to execute REST queries through browser in a secure cluster
