           Summary: Feature request: add "xmlhttprequest" resource type
                    for content blockers
    Classification: Unclassified

           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal

Currently there is no way to distinguish XHR requests from other requests, yet it may be very useful for ad blocking.

For instance, ad blocking on speedtest.net involves blocking scripts and XHR requests
|http://$script,xmlhttprequest,domain=speedtest.net
|https://$script,xmlhttprequest,domain=speedtest.net
