Unable to retrieve error descriptions on Sonar servers with path components

It seems that whenever a sonar server has a path components, say www.server.com/sonar, the plugin is unable to retrieve the description of the issues, because it goes to www.server.com/api/rules/show instead of www.server.com/sonar/api/rules/show.

nope https://your.server/sonar works for me

But I have similar experience, it seems that for some rules there seems to be no description available.

That's strange. Are we talking about the same thing? When you are over an issue and press CMD-F1 to get more details? Because I haven't seen one issue where that doesn't fail, and, yet, if I go to Sonar and look up the REST api by hand, I always get a valid JSON return. For instance, calling printStackTrace, which is squid:S1148, and I go to http://sonar.richrelevance.com/sonar/api/rules/show?key=squid:S1148, I get back this:

{"rule":{"key":"squid:S1148","name":"Throwable.printStackTrace(...) should never be called","description":"\n<code>Throwable.printStackTrace(...)</code> prints a throwable and its stack trace to some stream.\n\n\nLoggers should be used instead to print throwables, as they have many advantages:\n<ul>\n <li>Users are able to easily retrieve the logs.</li>\n <li>The format of log messages is uniform and allow users to browse the logs easily.</li>\n</ul>\n\nThe following code:\n\n<pre>\ntry {\n /* ... */\n} catch(Exception e) {\n e.printStackTrace(); // Non-Compliant\n}\n</pre>\n\nshould be refactored into:\n\n<pre>\ntry {\n /* ... */\n} catch(Exception e) {\n LOGGER.log(\"context\", e); // Compliant\n}\n</pre>","language":"Java","createdAt":"2013-10-28T09:34:01-0700","fCreatedAt":"Oct 28, 2013 9:34 AM","updatedAt":"2014-06-13T09:44:34-0700","fUpdatedAt":"Jun 13, 2014 9:44 AM","tags":[],"sysTags":["error-handling"]}}

And if I try an inexisting key, I get this:

{"errors":[{"msg":"Rule not found: squid:S11481"}]}

Whereas doing CMD-F1 will complain about 401s, like

401 Unauthorized
