Hi,

[http://www.ruby-doc.org](http://www.ruby-doc.org) says that the core elements of Ruby are at  
[RDoc Documentation](http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/), but on my Firefox 3.5.5 browser over  
WinXP/SP3, I’ve been getting:

File not found  
Firefox can’t find the file at  
[http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/fr\_class\_index.html](http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/fr_class_index.html).

Is my system messed up or is it a [ruby-doc.org](http://ruby-doc.org) problem?

Thanks in Advance,  
Richard

Just a little more info:

Ruby Std Lib Doc had the same kind of problem for a couple of days. I  
just noticed that it’s fine today. Weird, eh?

I run [ruby-doc.org](http://ruby-doc.org); it appears OK to me.

I was updating files the other day, maybe that was interfering.

If you have problem with the site, wait a bit and try again.

If you have a persistent problem, drop me line with details.

(Errors in the API docs themselves, though, need to be corrected in the  
Ruby source code, so the best plan is to post a patch file with your  
corrections to ruby-core or ruby-doc mailing lists.)

Hi James,

Thanks for your response. It’s nice to [virtually] meet you. I’ve  
got open tabs to your ruby-doc & stdlib sites all the time: they’re  
so efficient (vs. my lovable stack of Ruby & Rails books) for specific  
snippets of info. So thank you for offering that service.

Regarding my problem: I deleted my Internet History and, voila,  
problem solved! I apologize for not cleaning up my own mess before  
bothering the Ruby community.

Best wishes,  
Richard
