gollark: It'll send your cookies with it and stuff, so if you could see the response it would be a horrible security problem.
gollark: Yes. The situation now is that browsers will happily send requests from one origin to another, but only if it's a GET or POST request, not allow custom headers with it, and, critically, do bizarre insane stuff to avoid letting code see the *response*.
