I open URL:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/dhelp_fetcher?file=%2Fusr%2Fshare%2Fdoc%2Fgradle-doc%2Fapi

which refered from:

http://localhost/doc/HTML/Programming/Java/index.html

and it is empty (Firefox source viewer also shown nothing)!

From /var/log/lighttpd/error.log (no errors):

dhelp_fetcher does not handle well a uri that is not a file but a
directory (it should either search for an index.html file there or
complain loudly). As a result, it tries to read the directory,
resulting in an empty page. Will fix in the upcoming release.
