Remarks

The Fetch standard defines requests, responses, and the process that binds them: fetching.

Among other interfaces, the standard defines Request and Response Objects, designed to be used for all operations involving network requests.

A useful application of these interfaces is GlobalFetch, which can be used to load remote resources.

For browsers that do not yet support the Fetch standard, GitHub has a polyfill available. In addition, there is also a Node.js implementation that is useful for server/client consistency.

In the absence of cancelable Promises you can’t abort the fetch request (github issue). But there is a proposal by the T39 in stage 1 for cancelable promises.
