CORS + Http Only Cookies + Fetch + WithCredentials #150

Description

@brauliodiez

As soon as we get a real login + cookies + cors, check how we can make fetch call including the token httpOnly security token.

In theory it should be something straight forward:

fetch('https://example.com', {
  credentials: 'include'  
})

https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/53359/are-httponly-cookies-submitted-via-xmlhttprequest-with-withcredentials-true

The second question is: will the HTTPOnly cookie be submitted to the token endpoint by the browser with my XHR if I set withCredentials=True?

Yes it will. HTTPOnly protects from JavaScript itself on the client, it doesn't affect HTTP requests.
