RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1508292

Details

As per the discussion in https://github.com/w3c/webappsec-fetch-metadata/issues/45, it seems reasonable for Fetch Metadata to expose a little additional granularity in a request's destination rather than the current "document" for top-level navigation and nested navigation.

https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/pull/948 proposes splitting the "document" destination into "iframe" and "frame" for nested navigation, mirroring "object" and "embed".

Mike, can you think of a priority for this bug?

It's likely something y'all would want to poke at along with Fetch Metadata generally. Until that mechanism exposes the value to developers, there's not a huge reason to poke at this (though it will be visible in Service Workers that examine outgoing Request objects). ckerschb@ probably has a Fetch Metadata bug against which this can be marked as blocking?

Clearing out old ni?s at the moment. In the meantime we have added support for Sec-Fetch-* within Bug 1508292 and we support the proposed granularity of iframe and frame, see:
