Description
Get any docs bundle, such as the JDK api docs.

If you try and view the bundle locally, via file: URLs, it doesn't work -- it's as though it's not getting the search-index JSON files, meaning the search box shows empty.

The exact same bundle can be viewed and (mostly) works as expected when viewed with a local web server, such as tws.jar.
