Browser Cache API is not working for cookie authenticated services

Question

I am trying browser Cache API mechanism, but the api which is going to be cached is using cookie authentication. And am receiving 'unauthorized-401' error message. I am suspecting the http cookie supposed to send for all the api request is not sending when i am calling from cache.add(apiurl)

         if ('caches' in window) {
                caches.open('cachename').then(cache => {
                    cache.add(apiUrl).then(() => {
                        //done!
                    })
                });
            }

I found a way to handle this. Instead of adding URL in add() method, create a Request object with "credentials: include " or "credentials: same-orgin" depends on your CORS settings.

 if ('caches' in window) {
            caches.open('cachename').then(cache => {
                cache.add(new Request('apiurl', {credentials: 'include'}).then(() => {
                    //done!
                })
            });
        }

//Or

if ('caches' in window) {
            caches.open('cachename').then(cache => {
                cache.add(new Request('apiurl', {credentials: 'same-origin'}).then(() => {
                    //done!
                })
            });
        }
