Not really. The tests will be launched despite triggering HTTP errors on the main document. But, be aware that in case of having a HTTP_RESPONSE_1 on the main document we will not have any kind of error page. (We see this case as the one in which launching tests would not make sense)

I think it shouldn't send the LINK_TARGET_FORMAT warning in addition to
the HTTP_RESPONSE one - i.e. I think the tests that depend on analyzing
the content of an HTTP requests shouldn't be run on the retrieved
resource if that retrieval triggered an HTTP error.

Hmm... Does this imply that no other tests will be run on the said page?
If so, this prevents someone to check that an error page is mobileOK,
which some people could find useful...

I think there should be some error message in the results output to make
it clear that the retrieved page triggered an HTTP error, but I'm not
sure I would make it stop any further processing (if that's what you're
suggesting).

Thanks for all the good work on this!
