I disagree. You may be confused because some of these endpoints do not have 
their help strings populated. For those that do, hitting a url like 
localhost:5050/help/master/tasks.json will actually show real help information. 
For those that don't, e.g. localhost:5050/help/master/state.json, you should 
see the "No help page for /master/state.json" message.

These /help links are not supposed to take you to the actual json payload for 
state.json or tasks.json, but to a help page explaining the usage and 
description for each endpoint, or a list of nested endpoints so you can browse 
to their respective help pages. Remove the `/help` from the URL and you will 
get the actual endpoint.

However, in a reverse proxy situation (like DCOS), the Mesos UI might be 
reached by proxyhost:8080/mesos, and the links from proxyhost:8080/mesos/help 
will take you to proxyhost:8080/help/master instead of 
proxyhost:8080/mesos/help/master. In this case we still want the `/help` so 
that we see the help pages, but we want the links to use relative urls instead 
of the absolute `/help`.

I disagree. We need the `help/` so that we link to the help page nested under 
this one, but we don't want it to be an absolute `/help/` in the event of a 
reverse proxy. The solution may be as easy as removing the leading `/` from 
`/help/` on this line.
