[webkit-dev] Proposal: Link http header support

[Gavin Peters (蓋文彼德斯)]

David's right, Mozilla has it.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/link_prefetching_faq

They support it for rel=next and rel=prefetch.  Unfortunate, as I also think
rel=subresource matters, and should be distinguished from prefetch for
prioritization.
