Interally at my site it was discovered that the
Documentation link can enter an endless redirect loop
or other problem when access to the site is attained
via a web forward.

The Documentation link actually takes you to a proxy
page, helpfwd.php, which provides the NAVTITLE token
for the navbar generator, along with a Meta-Refresh. It
seems that this meta-refresh causes the name of the
server to be captured and used in the refresh. This
doesn't seem to happen with the "Location" technique
however.

Probable fix is to change the redirect method in
helpfwd.php to do a headers(Location) method (as done
for bounce()) instead of Meta-Refresh.
