    Description

      I am interesting in learning Thrift but there any many broken links, and links which have misspellings and are pretty much blank.

      1)From http://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl/
      Under Examples: top bullet
      CLICK ON ThriftTest.thrift used by the Thrift TestFramework

      takes you to http://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl/test/ThriftTest.thrift
      Result:
      Not Found

      The requested URL /docs/idl/test/ThriftTest.thrift was not found on this server.

      2) same page, 2nd bullet under examples is also a dead link:
      CLICK ON Thrift tutorial

      takes you to http://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl/tutorial/
      Not Found

      The requested URL /docs/idl/tutorial/ was not found on this server.

      3) same page, 3rd bullet under examples:
      CLICK ON Facebook's fb303.thrift
      takes you to: http://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl/contrib/fb303/if/fb303.thrift
      Not Found

      The requested URL /docs/idl/contrib/fb303/if/fb303.thrift was not found on this server.

      4) ON: http://thrift.apache.org/tutorial/java/
      Misspellings:
      Followed all prerequesets listed

      And then pretty much nothing to use to learn Thrift with Java (page looks like a blank template was pasted and left empty)
      Prerequisites <then nothing listed>
      Client<nothing shown but a blank line>

      Server<nothing listed>
      Additional Information<empty and not a link>

      I believe I could find more issues as well. I am happy to assist as I am not capable of being a code contributer.... yet. I listed this as minor rather than trivial as I hold documentation to very high standards wherever I work.

      Please let me know how I can assist or simply assist by finding and reporting anything like broken links, missing content and misspellings. I am trying to compare Thrift to Avro, GPB and straight JSON for a big data initiative.

      Thank you,
      Ross
