Hi all,

While looking at http://webkit.org/b/126619, a question came to my mind on
user credentials prompting for cross-origin resources.
WebKit allows prompting users for credentials in case of loading
cross-origin resources (except for XHR).

>From my reading of http://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#http-fetch, user should
not be prompted for credentials on cross origin requests.
In terms of browser interoperability, a few tests seem to show that WebKit
and Mozilla allow prompting users while Chrome does not always.

Different paths could be chosen:
1. Stick with the current behavior
2. Remove user credential prompting for cross-origin requests in places
where chances to break web sites are low (video loading ? resource loading
in case @crossorigin="use-credentials" ?)
3. Remove user credential prompting for cross-origin requests.

Any idea on where we should be heading?

   Youenn
