[Privoxy-devel] bug in actions help link

[Yossi Zahn]

Hi all,
I think that revision 1.164 of file cgi.c 
(http://ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ijbswa/current/cgi.c?r1=1.164&r2=1.165&) 
introduced a bugin function add_help_link().
The function seems to check whether an absolute path is used for the 
help files or not. In the latter case it uses Privoxy itself to serve 
the help file (using https). This can happen both if a relative path is 
configured or no path at all. The above mentioned revision ignores the 
case of a relative path and only relates to a case of no path configured 
in which the privoxy website is used for help. In a case of a relative 
path the change to https breaks with Privoxy reporting "Error: CGI 
request with unsupported method received: CONNECT".
Since chrome does not allow file:// links from other domains it would 
not help me defining an absolute file:// path for the help files.
