Fetch should do so too [1] [1] http://logs.glob.uno/?c=content#c259373 117285 1 nsm.nikhil 2015-01-16 21:19:10 +0000 On further discussion [1], the Request constructor should throw an exception if such an attempt is made. For now Gecko is going to implement [2] something like: If init's body member is present, run these substeps: **If request's normalized method is GET or HEAD, throw a TypeError.** Let stream and Content-Type be the result of extracting init's body member. Set r's request's body to stream. If Content-Type is non-null and r's request's header list contains no header named `Content-Type`, append `Content-Type`/Content-Type to r's Headers object. Rethrow any exception.
