In the redirect steps: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/cors/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#redirect-steps > 6. If the request URL origin is not same origin with the original URL origin, > set source origin to a globally unique identifier. It could instead say: > 6. If the request URL origin is not same origin with the original URL origin, > set source origin to a globally unique identifier (which would serialize > to 'null'). Just written better and nicer ;-) Although it'd be cool to just do s/a globally unique identifier/the string 'null'/g but that might be a bit too radical ;-)
Opinions Hixie or Adam?
The first change sounds fine. I'd have to look in detail, but the second change (the one written with s/../../g) might introduce a functional bug. For example, two unique origins are never the same, but the string 'null' is the same as another string 'null'.
