Server accepts all link relation queries without error (such as 404)? #65

Closed steve-bate closed 1 month ago

Role:Server Test 4/1: Server accepts all link rels in the query (MUST) A server must accept all link rels in the query, even if it does not understand them. To test, send a variety of variations on the same query, and make sure the server never emits an error.

I'm not sure it matters a lot since no Fediverse-related WebFinger service I've used supports 'rel' queries, but wouldn't a 404 status code be acceptable here if the requested related link is not found?

Nevermind, I see the RFC clarifies some of this.
