Day 43: Living off the spec

Things we did:

• We spent some time looking into how Firefox and Chrome implement Headers . Interestingly, they don’t return combined-values when you “get” or “get-all”, just an array of values.
• Response
  • Refactored the code to get rid of the internally stored net_traits::Response. It compiles and passes tests.
  • Only thing I’m unsure about is the how to handle internal_response, now that there is no longer a net_traits::Response in dom::Response.
• Test Curation
  • Wrote a more detailed explanation about tests
  • This brought up the comma-space issue again! Spent the afternoon testing Headers API in different browsers and comparing them to the spec.

Things we learned:

• You can test out the Headers functions for any browser by using the given JS console via the Inspect button! e.g.

h = new Headers
> Headers {  }  
h.append("foo", "bar")
> undefined  
h.get("foo")
> "bar"

• Not everyone follows the spec word-for-word.

TODO:

• Body
  • Assuming dom::Response gets merged, start implementing body for Response and Request
• Promise in Fetch
  • Make sure everything I can build as of now is done!
