- Prerequisites
- Browsers that are subjected to this test should support HTML2.
1. LINK
HTTP Headers for structure
This document contains a set of LINK
HTTP headers,
giving the relationship of this document to others. UAs (web browsers)
that support the LINK
element (see link test 2) must also support the 'Link' HTTP
header, and will thus somehow provide access to these documents.
Support for the LINK
element is not required by the HTML
4.0 specification. The specification says that this is an optional
feature.
