Which of the following descriptions about the difference between web link and web rewriting is incorrect?

Question

Options

• AWeb Link does not perform encryption or adaptation, but simply "forwards" remote users' Web
• BSince Web Link eliminates encryption and adaptation links, the business processing efficiency is
• CWeb Link relies on IE controls than Web Rewrite and cannot be used normally in non-IE
• DWeb Link requires encryption and adaptation, so it is more secure.

• A
  13% (6)
• B
  9% (4)
• C
  4% (2)
• D
  74% (34)

Explanation

Option D is incorrect because Web Link is defined precisely by its lack of encryption and adaptation - it simply forwards requests transparently to the backend server without modifying content or performing any rewriting. Describing it as "requiring encryption and adaptation" is the opposite of what it actually does.

Why the other options are correct (and therefore not the answer):

• A is correct: Web Link genuinely acts as a pass-through forwarder, performing no content modification or adaptation.
• B is correct: By skipping the encryption/adaptation processing steps, Web Link has lower overhead and higher throughput than Web Rewriting.
• C is correct: Web Link typically depends on browser-specific controls (like ActiveX/IE), making it less compatible with non-IE browsers, whereas Web Rewriting works at the HTML/URL level and is more browser-agnostic.

Memory tip: Think of the names as a clue - "Web Rewrite" literally rewrites (adapts/encrypts) content, while "Web Link" just links you straight through. If one does the processing, the other doesn't - so any statement claiming Web Link does the heavy lifting is automatically wrong.
