Description:
The man page for mysql(1) contains the paragraph

       For  more information please refer to the MySQL reference manual, which
       may already be installed locally and which is also available online  at
       http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/

That URL gives a "File not found" error.  I believe the correct URL is http://dev.mysql.com/doc/.

It might also be handy to give a hint where to look for a local copy of the reference manual.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the
documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website
shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant
product(s).

Additional info:

I changed the URL in each man page to:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en

(4.0.25, 4.1.11, 5.0.4)

The location of the local manual, if available
is system-dependent.
