Description
I have a case where I need to make a `fetch` from within an SPA to an endpoint that does not provide CORS headers. I am fine with making an opaque call using `no-cors`.
When testing my code on my laptop with Chrome, I get the expected behavior (a successful call to the backend without any response because of the nature of `no-cors`)
When moving the code to a server with Luakit the calls are not sent from the SPA (everything else works).
When making a direct `curl` call from that server it reaches the backend as expected.
It is not easy for me to debug on that server so before engaging in heavy-duty cables and connections reorganization I wanted to make sure that `no-cors` is supported by Luakit in the first place.
If this is the case (I am pretty sure that it is) I will go further with my tests.

Research direction
Reproduce the SPA fetch using `no-cors` in Luakit and compare it with the reported Chrome behavior and the direct `curl` request. Determine whether the request is sent and whether Luakit supports the expected opaque response behavior; done means a confirmed support status with the relevant limitation documented.
