Remove vendored fetch polyfill, update to whatwg-fetch@3.0 (#24418)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Summary:
The original reason for vendoring the fetch polyfill was to remove the default blob response type but this was reverted.

Here's a little history around the fetch polyfill and the blob issue:

- Original commit introducing the vendored polyfill: #19333, the goal was to fix a memory leak because our blob implementation doesn't release resources automatically. Not an ideal fix but since the issue was pretty severe and the infra for a proper fix was not in place.
- This introduced an issue when downloading images using `fetch` which was fixed by #22063 which re-added the default blob content type. However that re-introduced the original fetch memory leak.
- We have better infra now with jsi and I was able to get blob deallocation working, see #24405

Currently the vendored fetch polyfill is useless since it was changed back to the original version. We can just use the npm version again. I also updated to 3.0 which brings better spec compliance and support for cancellation via `AbortController`, https://github.com/github/fetch/releases/tag/v3.0.0.
