Re: [webkit-dev] Fetch API

[Alex Christensen]

Exciting!  Refactoring the network code is something that has been needed for a 
while.  Code can be modernized because much of it hasn’t been touched since we 
were using VS2005 and other old compilers.  Some things can maybe be removed, 
some things can be refactored, and many tests need to be added.  Sorry I don’t 
have any concrete examples, but I’m interested in assisting this work.

[webkit-dev] Fetch API

[youenn fablet]

Hi all,

I am interested in adding support for the fetch API (
https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#fetch-api).
It is a more convenient way of doing programmatic network calls than XHR.
It also covers some more ground.
The fetch API is currently implemented in Chromium and Firefox.
I filed https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151937 for that purpose.

On a separate topic, I wonder whether it would be valuable to do some
refactoring on the loading code so as to better align it with the fetch
algorithm.

Thoughts, advices... most welcome.
Thanks,
   y
