It is pretty simple, if network layer (e.g. soup, curl etc.) creates the info page and provides it as if receiving from Server.
But I don't think it is a good idea, because each port cannot choose their behavior for that case.
Furthermore, each port might want to insert their logo on the information page.

To support the specialized page, network layer can request to create the page for each port.
But, I still don't like it, because it makes a dependency between network layer and each port.

So, I'm looking for the way to give a choice to each port.
That is, notifying this situation to each port and showing a blank page if they don't do anything would be better.

It is not simple, because ResourceLoader always expects MIME-Type on ResourceResponse, though.


Any comment and idea will be welcome.
