Question 273060 in Html Question posted in
Some basic documentation can be found here.

What HTTP Request (GET,POST,PUT,DELETE) does the html-tag <link> trigger?

<a> triggers a GET-Request for example, but what does <link> trigger? <img> also triggers a GET-Request

I dont know how to answer this myself and chatgpt says nothing triggers it, but im not content with this answer.

    <link> associates a URL with the current document and defines its relationship to that URL. There’s no implicit HTTP method associated with <link> itself.

    For example, a webmention link expects a POST request to be made to it.

    The canonical relation doesn’t specify how the URL should be requested at all, but the implication is that the same request methods for the current URL are supported on the canonical one.

    The only thing I use for is CSS Stylesheets, and this usually triggers a GET request on my server.
