The problem was on Octave Forge rewrite rule for doxygen docs (so that old links continue to work):

The html section is optional, but if it is there, then the rule expected a backslash. So

http://octave.sourceforge.net/doxygen/html

was being redirected to

http://octave.org/doxygen/4.0/html

which did not exist.

Fixed with http://hg.code.sf.net/p/octave/project-web/rev/a22411edd6ea

(you may have to remove your browser cache for the fix to work -- or try in
private mode).

I could also fix the URL so it doesn't involve any rewrite rule.

Can octave.org provide a link that will point to the last stable release?

"C++ API" on the left sidebar of http://octave.sourceforge.net/docs.html links to http://octave.sourceforge.net/doxygen/html , which resolves to https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/missing.html

Possibly, http://octave.org/doxygen/4.0/index.html was intended
