Those are HTML documents, not “web pages”.  And it does not matter much if 
they can be accessed on the same server.  What does matter is that they can 
be accessed using the same protocol scheme, host, second-level domain and 
port, or that CORS has been set up appropriately and is supported by the 
accessing user agent.
