This has to be fixed by Freddie; he manages  the WWW-server. This worked 
for me a week ago or so.

The old IDL interface is obsolete. There is new one. In your NeXus

In the NeXus insatlltion kit, after building there is a doc directory 
which lower down holds the
doxygen-documentation for the C-API
