[6.0.441.2] BUG: EPiServer Shell Module loader can not handler parameters on help files

Vote:

If module.config contains a helpFile attribute with an URL that contains parameters ModuleHelpMenuProvider fails to validate the URL.

Suggestion: Do allow query parameters in helpFile attribute! It could also be usefull for culture replacement "Help.aspx?culture={culture}"

From module.config:
<module helpFile="/i2/ts/Help.aspx?mode=all">

Exception:
[HttpException (0x80004005): '/i2/ts/Help.aspx?culture=en' is not a valid virtual path.]

Hi Fredrik!

Thanks for the report. The helpFile attribute should absolutely handle query strings. The syntax "Help.aspx?culture={culture}" should also work.

We've registered it in our system, and it got the id #38253.
