FF111 strips the
Authorization
header added by developers from cross-origin redirects in fetch(), XMLHttpRequest, and more generally theHTTP channel - see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1802086.The
fetch()
changes were done in #19064 . This duplicates the exactly the same info for XMLHttpRequest andAuthorization
. That makes sense because these build on fetch(), as per response in mdn/content#22533 (comment).
Other docs work for this can be tracked in mdn/content#22533
