Request.credentials

The credentials read-only property of the Request interface indicates whether the user agent should send cookies from the other domain in the case of cross-origin requests.

A RequestCredentials dictionary value indicating whether the user agent should send cookies from the other domain in the case of cross-origin requests. Possible values are:

• omit: Never send or receive cookies.
• same-origin: Send user credentials (cookies, basic http auth, etc..) if the URL is on the same origin as the calling script. This is the default value.
• include: Always send user credentials (cookies, basic http auth, etc..), even for cross-origin calls.

This is similar to XHR's withCredentials flag, but with three available values instead of two.

In the following snippet, we create a new request using the Request() constructor (for an image file in the same directory as the script), then save the request credentials in a variable:

var myRequest = new Request('flowers.jpg');
var myCred = myRequest.credentials; // returns "same-origin" by default
