There seems to be a problem with HTML help pages and links.

If I type 'gnome-help:foo' and there is a link in that page the link would look
something like 'gnome-help:foo/page2.html' - This is wrong, because if the HTML
help file is installed, then the libvfs-help.so module translates the URI into a
'file://' URI (e.g. gnome-help:foo would be translated to something like
'file:///gnome/share/gnome/help/foo/index.html' (the links are relative links -
e.g. <a href="page2.html">Page 2</a>)

DocBook SGML/XML works fine (since libvfs-help.so passes the work onto the pipe
URI and gnome-db2html2).

mfleming - I think you said you'd take a look at this bug.

Note: this used to work perfectly fine at one point in time, but then suddenly
stopped working.

An example of this is the first link on "gnome-help:control-center"

This may be nasty, because it appears that the URI translation mechanism used by
the help module can't communicate information to the mozilla component that it
needs to know.

We need to fix this if we're going to take over gnomee-help functionality.

It looks like clicking on links in the "help:" scheme can cause a
nautilus-mozilla-content-view crash.  This doesn't affect "gnome-help:" or
"ghelp:".  I believe this is because of a flawed special case in
nautilus-mozilla-content-view.

help, man, and pipe are special cased in nautilus-directory-async.c, but not
ghelp or gnome-help

"gnome-help" and "ghelp" should be added to the list in
nautilus-directory-async.c.  (I'm not going to open a separate bug for this)

I'll take care of the nautilus-directory-async.c thing -- lets not confuse
matters by using this bug report to track that.

Changed name to be more accurate.

This looks like a dup of bug #44302.

I'm not sure if I understand Help well enough to meaningfully verify this. 

So, I E-mailed jfleck (who reported the bug this was duped against) to see if he
might wish to apply his verification expertise.

Verifying its duplicateness. It is indeed the same as the bedeviling Bug #44302.
