This project will be focused on implementing the JS API portion ofFetch API in Servo, which is used to retrieve network resources using a new JS technology calledPromises.

• Implementing the basicfetch function and wiring it up to the existing implementation of the underlying network API
• Implementing any missing DOM APIs from the specification (Request, Response, Headers, etc.)
• Diagnosing and fixing test failures from theexisting testsuite
• Writing new tests

Specification:

• https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org

Reference:

• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API

Existing network API:

• https://github.com/servo/servo/tree/master/components/net/fetch

Documentation for adding new DOM APIs:

• http://doc.servo.org/servo/script/dom/index.html#adding-a-new-dom-interface

(Feel free to ask questions in #servo onirc.mozilla.org, or ourmailing list!)

• Read the existingfetch/ code; try to understand it and its relation to the rest of the Fetch spec
• Gain experience using Rust bysolving an easy DOM issue. Please leave a comment saying that you're working on it.
