I whipped up a couple of quick PHP scripts and an Apache URL rewriting rule to create a quick lookup service for BnetDocs. Currently only implemented for BNCS, you specify the packet sender ("sender" / "s", or "c" / "client") and either its ID or name (SID_ prefix may be omitted), and you are jumped directly to the packet which you seek.
Some Examples:
[C>0x50] SID_AUTH_INFO
http://bnetdocs.ionws.com/c/50
http://bnetdocs.ionws.com/client/0x50
http://bnetdocs.ionws.com/c/AUTH_INFO
http://bnetdocs.ionws.com/client/SID_AUTH_INFO
[S>0x0F] SID_CHATEVENT
http://bnetdocs.ionws.com/server/0F
http://bnetdocs.ionws.com/s/0x0F
http://bnetdocs.ionws.com/server/CHATEVENT
http://bnetdocs.ionws.com/s/SID_CHATEVENT
The URL's are case-insensitive. Enjoy!
You might want to watch what you modify/create.
I really don't care what you did to the guide I created, but did you get permission from Arta or someone that owns BNETDocs?
A simple copyright and an angry author could 'own' you for doing this.

For redirecting to his site?

No, I don't think so.
shadypalm isn't actually copying any information. For a copyright to be violated, something has to be copied.
The URLs are, as he pointed out, simply redirects to Arta's site.
On that note, this might be something worthwhile to look at later.
Of course if you wanted it to be really nifty, you should put your logic in a Firefox extension so we can have a BnetDocs jumpbar. ;) Then there's no dependence on an extra webserver being up just to allow quick jumps.
Does anyone have any experience with making FireFox plugin thingies? Like the little Google search bar. The WoW site Thottbot.com made one of these plugin thingies for their site so you can search it easily. Would it be hard to make one for BnetDocs?
Just an idea.
EDIT: Oh shit, I didn't read Kp's post (Above)... lol.

I've started on it. I'll post the plugin once it's ready :)
Okay, well it works...sortof.

It inputs the query into the search box, but doesn't actually perform the search, I'm still trying to work this out :\
http://bnetdocs.valhallalegends.com/content.php?Terms="The Keywords Here"&Include%5BBNCS%5D=1&Section=s
Would search the BNCS packets
I'm not exactly sure how to make it do that though...I'll look into it.
[edit]
Fixed that, but sidebar won't work. Do what you will to fix it, but remember to tell me what!
[edit2]
Fixed more! It works!

Yes, mostly because I haven't yet. I had lots of free time to kill :X
