http.headers.Link - The version_added data is for HTTP 103 Early Hints, not for the Link header with rel="preload" etc. on the same response #29012

@Func86

Description

@Func86

What type of issue is this?

Incorrect support data (example: BrowserX says "86" but support was added in "40")

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The version_added data for the Link header is only about the HTTP 103 Early Hints support added in 2022+, without mentioning the long-lived support of the Link header using rel=preload etc. on the same response.

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

No response

What did you expect to see?

Add data for the long-lived support of the Link header, basically the same as rel="preload" and rel="preconnect".

Or if this data arrangement is by design, at least the doc page should be updated to say 'refer to rel="preload" and rel="preconnect" for the respective compatibility data' or something.

Did you test this? If so, how?

Not applicable

Can you link to any release notes, bugs, pull requests, or MDN pages related to this?
