Description unica 2009-04-12 20:13:20 UTC 
It worked yesterday....Ok this is the order of actions,
Help(on Menu), Help(f1), It says "Loading index from 'http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-help.xml'"

I am expecting it to pop up in my web brower cause that is what happened previousely.

instead I get a gimp message " help.exe message   parse error in 'http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-help.xml':GET request failed: WinHttp error: CANNOT_CONNECT"

I think the website is messed up cause I bookmarked the index page, and my bookmark won't take me there either.

I am very new to GIMP, I've only had it 5 days, and havent figured out If I even got i installed properly. I can't figure out how to get the help to work offline either.
thanks

Duplicating to the later bug for better description.

IMHO, the whole docs.gimp.org cannot be reached. So this seems more like a GIMP-website problem than a GIMP-Help problem.

I also tried with wget and that gives a Connection Refused-error.
