Missing element-list for https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/jre/api/security/jgss/spec

[Jonathan Gibbons]

Michael,

There is no `element-list` file for any version of JDK before JDK 9.    
Before JDK 9, the appropriate information was in the `package-list` 
file. In JDK 9, with the introduction of modules, the format of the file 
was updated to include modules, and because this was an incompatible 
change, the file was renamed as well, to `element-list`.

It is an annoying misconfiguration of `docs.oracle.com` that you are 
seeing `302 Moved Temporarily` instead of `404 Not Found` which would be 
a more semantically accurate response.

That leaves the question of why whatever you were doing was looking for 
`element-list` in JDK 8. To answer that, we need more info, to determine 
whether it is just a command-line error on your part, or any error in 
the `javadoc` tool itself. What version of JDK and javadoc are you 
using; what external libraries were you referencing in `-link` or 
`-linkoffline` options; and what source level were you using, with 
either the `-source` or `--release` options?

There are two related but different issues here.

1. It is a misconfiguratio
