Description Anne 2014-05-18 18:50:07 UTC 
Now Fetch exposes a request's authentication flag we can control this better.

Going forward we may want to have flags for 304 and cookie handling in general too. A property per flag is probably fine.
Comment 1 Anne 2014-05-21 15:53:31 UTC 
disable401Handling & disable304Handling are favorites.
Comment 2 Anne 2014-10-20 16:18:23 UTC 
Fetch so far has a far more complicated cache story than a single flag.

I suspect any new XMLHttpRequest are more or less dead.
Comment 3 Anne 2015-06-10 13:36:33 UTC 
fetch() does this already.
