+To fetch a source map given a [=URL=] |url|, run the following steps:
+
+1. Let |promise| be [=a new promise=].
+1. Let |request| be a new [=request=] whose [=request/URL=] is |url|.
+1. [=Fetch=] |request| with [=processResponseConsumeBody=] set to the following steps given [=response=] <var ignore>response</var> and null, failure, or a [=byte sequence=] |bodyBytes|:
+    1. If |bodyBytes| is null or failure, [=reject=] |promise| with a {{TypeError}} and abort these steps.
+    1. If |url|'s [=url/scheme=] is an [=HTTP(S) scheme=] and |bodyBytes| [=byte sequence/starts with=] \`<code>)]}'</code>\`, then:
+        1. [=While=] |bodyBytes|'s [=byte sequence/length=] is not 0 and |bodyBytes|'s 0th byte is not an [=HTTP newline byte=]:
+            1. remove the 0th byte from |bodyBytes|.
