This is still blocked on the spec work.  Someone at least needs to review the spec before we should start implementing, I think.

In particular,

  https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/223
  https://github.com/slightlyoff/ServiceWorker/issues/841

are the main outstanding issues with

  https://github.com/slightlyoff/ServiceWorker/issues/841#issuecomment-189601139

containing the design I think we should implement eventually. Marijn will be working on a patch for Fetch at some point. Not sure about an ETA. As with service workers I'm happy to help if there are any questions.

Let's make this a meta bug for all foreign fetch related work.

Comment 4

[Ben Kelly [:bkelly, not reviewing]]

Update from the spec repo:

"Due to problems with double-keying, unclear trial results, and unclear use-cases, we're going to remove foreign fetch from the spec (and fetch spec).

We can reexamine use-cases later and look to reintroduce it in another form once we have better data."

From here:

Due to this I'm going to WONTFIX for now.  If a new proposal is specified that we feel we can implement then we can open a new bug.
