Thread: Can we put the docs for the current JDBC driver online?

Can we put the docs for the current JDBC driver online?

From

WWW,

I was just noticing this:

http://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/documentation.html

JDBC docs are only available as a downloadable tarball, and not online.This means that our JDBC docs don't get indexed
bygoogle, and aren't
 
searchable.  How hard would this be to fix?

It's worse than that:

http://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/postgresql-jdbc-93-doc.tar.gz

404: Not Found

... so apparently we have no JDBC docs at all ...

Huh?

http://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/documentation.html

links to http://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/head/index.html and
http://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/93/index.html

Both which work perfectly fine.

Oh!

I didn't realize that the version numbers were links.  I'll think about
what could make it sylistically more obvious and submit a patch.  Any
idea why google doesn't know about the online docs at all?

Tarball is still 404'ing though.

You'll need to ping the JDBC folks about that.
