Hi, there.

We should work on a better integration of Swiki in 6.0alpha. ;-)

Best,
Marcel

Yes; same error.

And it is very surprising to see a whole load of downloading happening when you first click on 'Help->Squeak Swiki'. And even more surprising what you actually get as a result; a '500 Internal Server Error' seems to be a frequent thing.

This type of help page seems to be parsing and (at least partially successfully) rendering the swiki page text, which is nice but a way to cancel the downloading if it is taking too long would be nice. The list view of pages is working (mostly, bar the 500's) to provide the linkage from page to page but the text view isn't - since the text has plain (but incorrect) TextURLs in the runs array we get not so helpful behaviour.

The TextURLs seem to be incorrectly built during the download/parse and instead of a plausible schema we get a URL such as '/squeak/2915'. That is what causes the immediate issue Subbu is reporting. Of course, we probably really need to fix the parse to create sometihng more like SwikiHelpLink objects that will work with the help page model to do more appropriate things.
