Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the JavaScript script in the report, using the pod-root URL https://jeffz.solid.community/index.html and inspecting the Link response header. Trace how node-solid-server serves the pod root index.html and how response headers are constructed. Done means the request returns the expected Link header instead of null.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
