 Action must be provided, `https` and is non-cdn link (does **NOT** link to https://cdn.ampproject.org).
 
 __Note__: `target` and `action` will only be used for non-xhr GET requests. AMP runtime will use `action-xhr` to make the request and will ignore `action` and `target`. When `action-xhr` is not provided AMP would make a GET request to `action` endpoint and use `target` to open a new window (if `_blank`). AMP runtime might also fallback to using action and target in cases where `amp-form` extension fails to load.

Browsers will send the request in the background using [Fetch API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API) when available and fallback to [XMLHttpRequest API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest) for older browsers.
