I'm getting really wierd results that make me think the Help system is
caching its source location somewhere. I changed the URL used in Help
Indexer for a network location for help. Sometimes the changes seems
to take effect and often it doesn't. Is it stored in preferences? Does
Help remember across invocations of an application?
I'm originally had http://foo/help. No complaints, but it didn't read anything.
Then switched to using http://foo/help/1.0
I uploaded my content. Now it complains that it can't find,
http://foo/help/1.0index.html. What happened to the directory
delimiter between 1.0 and index.html?
So I added a / at the end of the root URL, http://foo/help/1.0/
No change, same error.
I changed it to http://foo/help1.0/ and I still got an error about
http://foo/help/1.0index.html even though that wasn't the path
anymore.
Now I'm getting weird results where sometimes it complains, and
sometimes it shows the local page.
I need more clarity on what the help system is doing. This black box
magic stuff is ok if it works, but when it doesn't its a HUGE waste of
time.
Thanks
