<h2 id="concepts">Concepts</h2>

In light of <a href="https://privacycg.github.io/storage-partitioning/">storage partitioning</a>, this specification defines prefetch for navigations which would occur within the same partition (for example, top-level navigations within the same site) and for navigations which would occur in a separate partition (for example, top-level navigations to a different site).

<div algorithm>
    <dfn>Conflicting credentials exist</dfn> for [=response=] |response| given [=navigable=] |navigable| and [=network partition key=] |sourcePartitionKey| if the following steps return true:

    1. Let |hypotheticalEnvironment| be the result of [=creating a reserved client=] given |navigable|, |response|'s [=response/URL=], and null.
    1. Let |hypotheticalPartitionKey| be the result of [=determining the network partition key=] given |hypotheticalEnvironment|.
    1. If |hypotheticalPartitionKey| is equal to |sourcePartitionKey| or there are no [=credentials=] associated with [=response/URL=] and |hypotheticalPartitionKey|, then return false.
    1. Let |loadingModes| be the result of [=getting the supported loading modes=] for |response|.
    1. If |loadingModes| [=list/contains=] \`<code><a for="Supports-Loading-Mode">uncredentialed-prefetch</a></code>\` then return true.
    1. Return false.
</div>

<hr>

An <dfn>exchange record</dfn> is a [=struct=] with the following [=struct/items=]:
* <dfn for="exchange record">request</dfn>, a [=request=]
* <dfn for="exchange record">response</dfn>, a [=response=] or null

<div class="note">These records can be used to defer checks that would ordinarily happen during a navigate fetch, and to check for modified [=credentials=].</div>

A <dfn>redirect chain</dfn> is a [=list=] of [=exchange records=].

<div algorithm>
    To <dfn for="redirect chain">update the response</dfn> for a [=redirect chain=] |redirectChain| given a [=request=] |request| and [=response=] |response|:

    1. [=Assert=]: |redirectChain| is not [=list/empty=].
    1. [=Assert=]: |redirectChain|'s last element's [=exchange record/request=] is the same as |request| and its [=exchange record/response=] is null.
    1. Set |redirectChain|'s last element's [=exchange record/response=] to |response|.
</div>

<hr>

Each {{Document}} has <dfn export for="Document">prefetch records</dfn>, which is a [=list=] of [=prefetch records=].

A <dfn export>prefetch record</dfn> is a [=struct=] with the following [=struct/items=]:
* <dfn export for="prefetch record">URL</dfn>, a [=URL=]
* <dfn export for="prefetch record">anonymization policy</dfn>, a [=prefetch IP anonymization policy=]
* <dfn export for="prefetch record">referrer policy</dfn>, a [=referrer policy=]
* <dfn export for="prefetch record">No-Vary-Search hint</dfn>, a [=URL search variance=]
* <dfn export for="prefetch record">label</dfn>, a [=string=]

  <div class="note">This is intended for use by a specification or [=implementation-defined=] feature to identify which prefetches it created. It might also associate other data with this struct.</div>
* <dfn export for="prefetch record">prerendering traversable</dfn>, a [=prerendering traversable=], "`to be created`", or null (null by default)
* <dfn export for="prefetch record">state</dfn>, which is "`ongoing`" (the default), "`completed`", or "`canceled`"
  <div class="note">"`canceled`" indicates that the prefetch was aborted by the author or user, or terminated by the user agent.</div>
* <dfn export for="prefetch record">fetch controller</dfn>, a [=fetch controller=] (a new [=fetch controller=] by default)
* <dfn export for="prefetch record">sandboxing flag set</dfn>, a [=sandboxing flag set=]
* <dfn export for="prefetch record">redirect chain</dfn>, a [=redirect chain=] (empty by default)
* <dfn export for="prefetch record">start time</dfn>, a {{DOMHighResTimeStamp}} (0.0 by default)
* <dfn export for="prefetch record">expiry time</dfn>, a {{DOMHighResTimeStamp}} (0.0 by default)
* <dfn export for="prefetch record">source partition key</dfn>, a [=network partition key=] or null (the default)
* <dfn export for="prefetch record">isolated partition key</dfn>, a [=network partition key=] whose first item is an [=opaque origin=] and which represents a separate partition in which cross-partition state can be temporarily stored, or null (the default)
* <dfn export for="prefetch record">had conflicting credentials</dfn>, a [=boolean=] (initially false)

<div class="note">This tracks prefetches from when they are started to when they are ultimately used or discarded. Consequently some of these fields are immutable, some pertain to the ongoing activity (like [=prefetch record/fetch controller=]), and some (like [=prefetch record/expiry time=]) are populated when the prefetch completes.</div>

<p class="note">Unless the response indicates otherwise using [:Supports-Loading-Mode:], a request which would have ordinarily sent credentials but could not due to cross-partition prefetch causes a prefetch to be abandoned.</p>

A [=prefetch record=]'s <dfn export for="prefetch record">response</dfn> is the [=exchange record/response=] of the last element of its [=prefetch record/redirect chain=], or null if that list [=list/is empty=].

The user agent may [=prefetch record/cancel and discard=] records from the [=Document/prefetch records=] even if they are not expired, e.g., due to resource constraints. Since completed records with expiry times in the past will never be [=wait for a matching prefetch record|matching prefetch records=], they can be removed with no observable consequences.

<div algorithm>
    A [=prefetch record=] |prefetchRecord| <dfn export for="prefetch record">matches a URL</dfn> given a [=URL=] |url| if the following algorithm returns true:
    1. If |prefetchRecord|'s [=prefetch record/URL=] is equal to |url|, return true.
    1. If |prefetchRecord|'s [=prefetch record/response=] is not null:
      1. Let |searchVariance| be the result of [=obtaining a URL search variance=] given |prefetchRecord|'s [=prefetch record/response=].
      1. If |prefetchRecord|'s [=prefetch record/URL=] and |url| are [=equivalent modulo search variance=] given |searchVariance|, return true.
    1. Otherwise, return false.
</div>

<div algorithm>
    A [=prefetch record=] |prefetchRecord| <dfn export for="prefetch record">is expected to match a URL</dfn> given a [=URL=] |url| if the following algorithm returns true:
    1. If |prefetchRecord| [=prefetch record/matches a URL=] given |url|, return true.
    1. If |prefetchRecord|'s [=prefetch record/response=] is null:
      1. Let |searchVariance| be |prefetchRecord|'s [=prefetch record/No-Vary-Search hint=].
      1. If |prefetchRecord|'s [=prefetch record/URL=] and |url| are [=equivalent modulo search variance=] given |searchVariance|, return true.
    1. Otherwise, return false.
</div>

<div algorithm>
    To <dfn export for="prefetch record">cancel and discard</dfn> a [=prefetch record=] |prefetchRecord| given a {{Document}} |document|, perform the following steps.

    1. [=Assert=]: |prefetchRecord| is in |document|'s [=Document/prefetch records=].
    1. [=Assert=]: |prefetchRecord|'s [=prefetch record/state=] is not "`canceled`".
    1. Set |prefetchRecord|'s [=prefetch record/state=] to "`canceled`".
    1. [=fetch controller/Abort=] |prefetchRecord|'s [=prefetch record/fetch controller=]. <span class="note">This will cause any ongoing fetch to be canceled and yield a [=network error=].</span>
    1. [=list/Remove=] |prefetchRecord| from |document|'s [=Document/prefetch records=].

    <div class="note">This means that even a completed prefetch will not be served from the prefetch buffer. However, if it was part of the same partition as the document which requested it, it might still be stored in the ordinary HTTP cache.</div>
</div>

<div algorithm>
    To <dfn export for="prefetch record">complete</dfn> a [=prefetch record=] |prefetchRecord| given {{Document}} |document|, perform the following steps.

    1. [=Assert=]: |document| is [=Document/fully active=].
    1. Let |currentTime| be the [=current high resolution time=] for the [=relevant global object=] of |document|.
    1. Let |expiryTime| be |currentTime| + 300000 (i.e., five minutes).
    1. [=list/Remove=] all elements of |document|'s [=Document/prefetch records=] which have the same [=prefetch record/URL=] as |prefetchRecord| and whose [=prefetch record/state=] equals "`completed`".
    1. Set |prefetchRecord|'s [=prefetch record/state=] to "`completed`" and [=prefetch record/expiry time=] to |expiryTime|.
</div>

<div algorithm>
    To <dfn export>find a matching complete prefetch record</dfn> given a [=navigable=] |navigable|, [=source snapshot params=] |sourceSnapshotParams|, [=URL=] |url|, and [=sandboxing flag set=] |sandboxFlags|, perform the following steps.

    1. Let |exactRecord| be null.
    1. Let |inexactRecord| be null.
    1. [=list/For each=] |record| of |sourceSnapshotParams|'s [=source snapshot params/prefetch records=]:
        1. If |record|'s [=prefetch record/state=] is not "`completed`", then [=iteration/continue=].
        1. If |record|'s [=prefetch record/sandboxing flag set=] is empty and |sandboxFlags| is not empty, then [=iteration/continue=].

            <div class="note">
              Strictly speaking, it would still be possible for this to be valid if sandbox flags have been added to the container since prefetch but those flags would not cause an error due to cross origin opener policy. This is expected to be rare and so isn't handled.
            </div>
        1. If |record|'s [=prefetch record/URL=] is equal to |url|:
            1. Set |exactRecord| to |record|.
            1. [=iteration/Break=].
        1. If |inexactRecord| is null and |record| [=prefetch record/matches a URL=] given |url|:
            1. Set |inexactRecord| to |record|.
    1. Let |recordToUse| be |exactRecord| if |exactRecord| is not null, otherwise |inexactRecord|.
    1. If |recordToUse| is not null:
        1. Let |currentTime| be the [=current high resolution time=] for |navigable|'s [=navigable/active document=].
        1. If |recordToUse|'s [=prefetch record/expiry time=] is less than |currentTime|, return null.
        1. [=list/For each=] |exchangeRecord| of |recordToUse|'s [=prefetch record/redirect chain=]:
            1. If [=conflicting credentials exist=] for |exchangeRecord|'s [=exchange record/response=] given |navigable| and |recordToUse|'s [=prefetch record/source partition key=], return null.

            <div class="note">This handles the case where there were no cross-partition credentials initially, but there are now. User agents could use a slightly coarser algorithm, such as monitoring whether the cookies for the URL have been modified at all, or storing a hash, timestamp or revision number.</div>

        1. Return |recordToUse|.
    1. Return null.

    <p class="note">It's not obvious, but this doesn't actually require that the prefetch have received the complete body, just the response headers. In particular, a navigation to a prefetched response might nonetheless not load instantaneously.</p>

    <p class="issue">It might be possible to use cache response headers to determine when a response can be used multiple times, but given the short lifetime of the prefetch buffer it's unclear whether this is worthwhile.</p>
</div>

<div algorithm>
    To <dfn export>wait for a matching prefetch record</dfn> given a [=navigable=] |navigable|, [=source snapshot params=] |sourceSnapshotParams|, [=URL=] |url|, and [=sandboxing flag set=] |sandboxFlags|, perform the following steps.

    1. [=Assert=]: this is running [=in parallel=].
    1. Let |cutoffTime| be null.
    1. While true:
        1. Let |completeRecord| be the result of [=finding a matching complete prefetch record=] given |navigable|, |sourceSnapshotParams|, |url|, and |sandboxFlags|.
        1. If |completeRecord| is not null, return |completeRecord|.
        1. Let |potentialRecords| be an empty [=list=].
        1. [=list/For each=] |record| of |sourceSnapshotParams|'s [=source snapshot params/prefetch records=]:
            1. If all of the following are true, then [=list/append=] |record| to |potentialRecords|:
                * |record|'s [=prefetch record/state=] is "`ongoing`".
                * |record| [=prefetch record/is expected to match a URL=] given |url|.
                * |record|'s [=prefetch record/sandboxing flag set=] is not empty or |sandboxFlags| is empty.
                * |record|'s [=prefetch record/expiry time=] is greater than the [=current high resolution time=] for |navigable|'s [=navigable/active window=].
                * |cutoffTime| is null or |record|'s [=prefetch record/start time=] is less than |cutoffTime|.
        1. If |potentialRecords| [=list/is empty=], return null.
        1. Wait until the [=prefetch record/state=] of any element of |sourceSnapshotParams|'s [=source snapshot params/prefetch records=] changes.
        1. If |cutoffTime| is null and any element of |potentialRecords| has a [=prefetch record/state=] that is not "`ongoing`", set |cutoffTime| to the [=current high resolution time=] for |navigable|'s [=navigable/active window=].

    <p class="note">The reasoning for setting the cutoff time *after* waiting for a prefetch record to finish is to allow for flexibility in selecting a prefetch to serve the navigation while still guaranteeing falling back to a non-prefetched navigation in the case of repeated prefetch failures. We allow blocking on prefetch attempts which started before we see an attempt fail, but we don't block on subsequent attempts. Notably, this approach: does not finalize the set of prefetches to block on at the start of the navigation; allows a prefetch which started and completed after the navigation started to serve the navigation; avoids the use of a fixed timeout, which would be arbitrary and detrimental to the use of prefetch with slower servers; and blocks on, at most, two nearly-consecutive prefetches before falling back to a conventional navigation.</p>

<div algorithm="has a matching prefetch record">
  A {{Document}} |document| <dfn export>has a matching prefetch record</dfn> given a [=prefetch record=] |recordUnderConsideration| and an optional boolean <dfn for="has a matching prefetch record" export>|checkPrerender|</dfn> (default false) if the following algorithm returns true:

  1. [=list/For each=] |record| of |document|'s [=Document/prefetch records=]:
    1. If |record|'s [=prefetch record/state=] is "`canceled`", then [=iteration/continue=].

    1. If |checkPrerender| is true and |record|'s [=prefetch record/prerendering traversable=] is null, then [=iteration/continue=].

    1. Let |recordNVS| be null.

    1. If |record|'s [=prefetch record/response=] is not null, then set |recordNVS| to the result of [=obtaining a URL search variance=] given |record|'s [=prefetch record/response=].

    1. Otherwise, set |recordNVS| to |record|'s [=prefetch record/No-Vary-Search hint=].

  1. Return false.

  <div class="note" id="note-require-equivalent-nvs">
    <p>The requirement that the No-Vary-Search values be equivalent is somewhat strict. It means that some cases which could theoretically be treated as matching, are not treated as such, and thus redundant prefetches could happen.

    <p>However, allowing more lenient matching makes the check no longer an equivalence relation, and thus prohibits implementation strategies based on normalized URL keys. For this reason, we require equivalent No-Vary-Search values. This is in line with the best practices for server operators demanded in [[NO-VARY-SEARCH#section-6]].

    <p>In practice, we do not expect this to cause redundant prefetches, since server operators and the corresponding speculation rules-writing web developers will follow best practices and use static No-Vary-Search values.
  </div>

  <div class="example" id="example-non-matching-nvs">
    <p>Consider three [=prefetch records=]:

    * |A| has a [=prefetch record/URL=] of `https://example.com?a=1&b=1` and a [=prefetch record/No-Vary-Search hint=] parsed from `params=("a")`.
    * |B| has a [=prefetch record/URL=] of `https://example.com?a=2&b=1` and a [=prefetch record/No-Vary-Search hint=] parsed from `params=("b")`.
    * |C| has a [=prefetch record/URL=] of `https://example.com?a=2&b=2` and a [=prefetch record/No-Vary-Search hint=] parsed from `params=("a")`.

    <p>With the current definition of [=has a matching prefetch record=], none of these records match each other.

    <p>A definition which did not require equivalent No-Vary-Search values could consider |A| and |B| to match (using |A|'s [=prefetch record/No-Vary-Search hint=]), and |B| and |C| to match (using |B|'s [=prefetch record/No-Vary-Search hint=]). But it could not consider |A| and |C| to match, so it would not be transitive, and thus not an equivalence relation.

<h2 id="cookies">Cookies</h2>

[[COOKIES]] defines "cookies" which can be set using the [:Set-Cookie:] response header field. Because the "`uncredentialed`" partitioning scheme forces a separate [=network partition key=] to be used, it's necessary to copy these cookies into the ordinary partition as though they had been [=receive a cookie|received=] at the time of navigation.

<div class="issue">Cache, though not necessary for correctness, would be useful to copy, too.</div>

<div class="issue">Authentication entries can be acquired while cross-site, though this seems likely to be rare. (For instance, a site might redirect to a URL which contains URL credentials.) It might be reasonable to copy these, too, though it's unclear whether we actually want to encourage this.</div>

<div algorithm>
  To <dfn>copy prefetch cookies</dfn> given a [=network partition key=] |isolatedPartitionKey| and an [=environment=] |environment|, perform the following steps.

  <div class="note">
    Though formally there is only one cookie store in [[COOKIES]], some browsers partition cookie stores so as to separate, for example, cookies with the same domain when loaded with different top-level sites. See <a href="https://github.com/privacycg/storage-partitioning">Client-Side Storage Partitioning (Privacy CG)</a>.
  </div>

  1. Let |isolatedCookieStore| be the cookie store associated with |isolatedPartitionKey|.
  1. For each <a spec="COOKIES">cookie</a> |cookie| in |isolatedCookieStore|.
      1. Remove |cookie| from |isolatedCookieStore|.
      1. A user agent may ignore a cookie in its entirety. If so, continue.

          <div class="note">This is consistent with [[COOKIES]] expressly permitting this when [=receiving a cookie=].</div>
      1. Let |topLevelSite| be null.
      1. If |environment|'s [=environment/target browsing context=] is a [=top-level browsing context=]:
          1. Set |topLevelSite| to the result of [=obtaining a site=] given [=tuple origin=] ("`https`", |cookie|'s domain, null, null).

            <div class="note">The use of the "`https`" scheme and null port here is arbitrary because cookies are visible across schemes and ports, in contrast to the usual same origin policy. The user agent's choice of associated cookie store, therefore, cannot be sensitive to either.</div>

          <div class="note">When performing a prefetch in a [=top-level browsing context=], the request (including all redirects) is preparing for a top-level navigation. |environment|'s top-level site changes as redirects are followed, and since a redirect might be cross-site, |environment|'s top-level site might have changed since a given cookie was received. However, since the navigation is top-level, the origin delivering the cookie would have been the top-level site at the time. Since the cookie's domain has to be same-site with an origin delivering it, the cookie's domain can be used to determine the correct top-level site.</div>
      1. Otherwise:
          1. Let |topLevelOrigin| be |environment|'s [=environment/top-level origin=].
          1. If |topLevelOrigin| is null, then set |topLevelOrigin| to |environment|'s [=environment/top-level creation URL=]'s [=url/origin=].
          1. [=Assert=]: |topLevelOrigin| is an [=origin=].
          1. Set |topLevelSite| be the result of [=obtaining a site=] given |topLevelOrigin|.

          <div class="note">When performing a prefetch in a [=child navigable=], the top-level site is determined by the [=top-level traversable=] that contains it. Since that doesn't change as redirects are followed, |environment| can be used to establish the top-level site.</div>
      1. Let |secondKey| be null or an [=implementation-defined=] value.

          <div class="note">|secondKey| is expected to match the value it would have had if this response had been processed as part of an ordinary navigation in |environment|'s [=environment/target browsing context=].</div>
      1. Let |destinationPartitionKey| be (|topLevelSite|, |secondKey|).
      1. Let |cookieStore| be the cookie store associated with |destinationPartitionKey|.
      1. Let |newCookie| be a copy of |cookie|.
      1. Set |newCookie|'s creation-time and last-access-time to the current date and time.
      1. If |cookieStore| contains a cookie |existingCookie| with the same name, domain and path as the newly created cookie:
          1. Set the creation-time of |newCookie| to |existingCookie|'s creation-time.
          1. Remove |existingCookie| from |cookieStore|.
      1. Insert |newCookie| into |cookieStore|.

          <div class="note">This remove-and-insert pattern is consistent with what happens when [=receiving a cookie=].</div>
</div>

<h2 id="sec-purpose-header">The [:Sec-Purpose:] HTTP request header</h2>

<em>This section overrides the definition of the [:Sec-Purpose:] HTTP request header from [[FETCH]].</em>

The [:Sec-Purpose:] HTTP request header specifies that the request serves one or more purposes other than requesting the resource for immediate use by the user.

The header field is an [[RFC9651]] Structured Header whose value must be a [=structured header/List=].

It may contain an [=structured header/Item=] member which is the [=structured header/Token=] `prefetch`. If so, this indicates the request's purpose is to download a resource it is anticipated will be fetched shortly.

The following parameters are defined for the `prefetch` token:

* A parameter whose key is "<dfn for="Sec-Purpose prefetch">`anonymous-client-ip`</dfn>".

  If present with a value other than boolean false (`` `?0` `` in the field value), this parameter indicates that the prefetch request is being made using an anonymous client IP. Consequently, servers should not rely on it matching, or sharing a geographic location or network operator with, the client's IP address from which a non-prefetch request would have been made.

  If a suitable response is not possible, for example because the resource depends on the client's geographic location, there is no other means of determining the location (e.g., the <a href="https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-geohash-hint-00.html">Geohash client hint</a>), and no location-agnostic response is available, then the server should respond with an appropriate HTTP status code and response headers which mark the response as not suitable for caching.

  <div class="note">
    A future specification might define assign more specific meaning to non-boolean values. For now, they are treated the same as true. Implementations are advised not to emit such values.

    This specification conforms to this advice; the [=prefetch=] algorithm does not emit non-boolean values.
  </div>

* A parameter whose key is "<dfn for="Sec-Purpose prefetch">`prerender`</dfn>".

  If present with a value other than boolean false (`` `?0` `` in the field value), this parameter indicates that the prefetch request is being made in anticipation of a prerender.

  <div class="note">
    A future specification might define assign more specific meaning to non-boolean values. For now, they are treated the same as true. Implementations are advised not to emit such values.
