Should we use the `Link` header?

[Mr0grog]

Someone recently brought the Link HTTP Header to my attention: https://www.w3.org/wiki/LinkHeader and https://www.w3.org/Protocols/9707-link-header.html and https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5988.txt

We already fulfill the same needs through the link field in our JSON responses, but this is a broader standard. Would it be useful to add? (Definitely not high priority since this isn’t adding new information we don’t already expose.)

Some existing uses I know of:

• GitHub API: https://developer.github.com/v3/guides/traversing-with-pagination/
• Sentry API: https://docs.sentry.io/api/pagination/
• Internet Archive Mementos (Not clearly documented anywhere as far as I know, but they’re used.)
