Links in static html files, which until recently worked, have stopped working.
Ali Abdin noticed this the weekend of 10/28, I verified it with a new build 10/30.

To reproduce:

Click on a document in the help sidebar that uses static html:

help->applications->bug-buddy

The bug buddy page appears.
Click on a link within that page to a separate page:description.
Error box appears:
Can't Display Location: help:bug-buddy/description.html is not a valid location.

Note: this is not the previously discussed html anchors bug, #3864, #3756,
#2787. This occurs when going to a separate html help page, not to one with

This /used/ to work before.

mfleming - Do you know what's wrong with this? (I thought you had fixed this 
problem?)

This sounds like a problem with canonical uris. Pavel made some changes most
recently in this area, maybe he can recognize the issue.

I haven't looked at it yet, but because it doesn't affect Nautilus help, its not
high on my queue right now <frown>

"It once did work"

Mike Fleming says we should reconsider whether this is required for PR2.

4302 doesn't affect nautilus help, so I don't think its important for PR2

yes, sgml help is not affected by this.

Althought this does not affect Nautilus help, it affects the
help for all other applications, and should be fixed for PR2 .

This is the same as 5416 and I like the description in that bug better.

Now, rather than simply receiving a polite "not a valid location" error message,
Nautilus crashes when clicking on a link within a static html help file.
The only error message on the terminal is

** WARNING **: A view failed. The UI will handle this with a dialog but this
should be debugged.

First noticed on hourly rpms - 200102090414

It is entirely possible that behaviour has gotton worse since the recent
nautilus-mozilla wrapper rewrite.  I'll get to this ASAP.

Fixed, although not in the way I prefer.

entering "help:control-center" in nautilus will effectively re-direct you to the
file: path containing the HTML file.  This redirection is done inside the
mozilla wrapper.

Stuff that uses pipes, like sgml, is unaffected.
