Explain relationship to fetch's keep-alive concept
Given that @igrigorik and I are planning on merging sendBeacon()
into fetch()
and this offers similar functionality, but for the response scenario rather than the request scenario, it might be nice to explore the overlap a bit.
(See https://github.com/w3c/beacon/pull/27#issuecomment-242101892 onwards for context.)
I've referenced this in the updated explainer, but leaving this open to investigate more.
