Hi everybody, I'd like a position on the Fetch Metadata[0] spec. It is a security feature that provides extra context to fetch requests so that servers can make informed decisions. It is currently implemented by both Firefox and Chromium.
I have started a work-in-progress patch[1] on bug 204744 for this. It currently implements Sec-Fetch-Dest, Sec-Fetch-Mode, and part of Sec-Fetch-Site. However Sec-Fetch-User I believe will require more significant changes that will have to be exposed to each port. It requires knowing if a request was initiated by a user, exact details are specified here[2], which I think will require integration at the Safari/WebKitGTK/etc layers. So I'd appreciate input on if there is interest in this.
