Description

It assumes there's some kind of response object available, but nothing passes this in to the algorithm. Presumably this is the response to the HTTP request that was initially performed in when starting the previous navigation, but nothing says that.

Research direction

Start at the “post navigation checks” definition in the linked WebDriver specification and trace the preceding navigation algorithm. Determine where the response object is introduced, or confirm that it is not, then make the response input and its relationship to the initial HTTP request explicit. Done means the algorithm’s response reference is unambiguous.
