Question

Options

• AThere is a page compatibility issue, and images may be misaligned.

• CThere are certain security risks
• DDepends on IE controls and cannot be used normally in non-IE environments

• D

Explanation

Option A is incorrect because page compatibility issues and image misalignment are characteristics of Web Rewrite mode - not Web Link. Web Link simply provides a clickable URL pointer to an internal resource without modifying or rewriting any page content, so it does not introduce rendering or layout problems.

Why the distractors are correct descriptions of Web Link:

• B is accurate: Web Link does not rewrite URLs, which means the real intranet server address can be visible to the client, exposing internal network topology.
• C follows directly from B: exposing internal addresses is itself a security risk, making this a valid concern.
• D is accurate in many enterprise web proxy implementations (e.g., Sangfor SSL VPN): Web Link can rely on IE-based ActiveX controls, making it non-functional in modern non-IE browsers.

Memory tip: Think of it this way - Web Link just links you there (no content transformation = no layout breakage). Web Rewrite rewrites the page, which is where compatibility and alignment problems occur. If a question mentions garbled images or broken layouts, that's Rewrite, not Link.
