The spec is being updated to throw less often from the Request constructor: https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/245

But the spec is still being decided.

The spec was updated in https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/pull/377, and I've submitted test changes to account for it in https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/pull/4341 .

We should implement this before chrome if we can to avoid compat problems. Andrew, another one to prioritize if we can.

baku, can you handle this?

This might be better described by bug 1341223 now.

Andrea, why does this one still fail? https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/web-platform/meta/fetch/api/policies/referrer-origin-service-worker.https.html.ini#4

simply because my local repo was older than that file. I'll remove that file as well.
