Help documentation Links to page that causes a 400 request

Description

If you navigate to

https://trunk-mysql.nightly.sakaiproject.org/portal/help/TOCDisplay/content.hlp?docId=accessibilityinformation

It has a line that looks as follows in its source:

<li><a href="[content.hlp?docId=|view-source:https://trunk-mysql.nightly.sakaiproject.org/portal/help/TOCDisplay/content.hlp?docId=]">Footer</a></li>

When this link is clicked:

https://trunk-mysql.nightly.sakaiproject.org/portal/help/TOCDisplay/content.hlp?docId=

You get a 400 error.

This could and should be fixed in the help content - but the help code should not give 400 when there is no value for the docid parameter.

This bug was identified in the smoker test.
