HTML link to another port on same server


Question

I am trying to put in a link to another port on the same server as the web server. I am trying to redirect to port, lets say, 8888 but of course


<a href=":8888">a different port</a>
[/CODE]

or

[CODE]
<a href="ipaddress:8888">a different port</a>
[/CODE]

doesn't work.

What is the code to do this?

From what I've done in the past just simply putting the IP address in with the port number after it e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8080 Works... I'm not sure why wouldn't.

Thanks much. Gonna sound like an idiot but missed the whole "http:\\" portion. So used to just typing it into the address bar. Thanks again.

    • Debian switches to 64-bit time completely to avoid Y2K38 disaster by Usama Jawad Some of you may remember the Y2K problem, where the world expected airplanes to fall from the sky as soon as we reached the year 2000, primarily because many software applications at that time typically just used the final two digits of each year to store calendar year data, which meant that the year 2000 was indistinguishable from the year 1900. Fortunately, we were able to avoid the 2K problem, thanks to the tireless efforts of many software vendors and engineers. Now, we are a few years away from a similar issue, and it looks like the Linux distro Debian wants to solve that problem right now in its own operating system. Basically, older 32-bit architectures will face the Y2K38 problem in the year 2038. This is because the signed representation of Unix datetime values will overflow the 32-bit space, which would cause bugs in associated software. Debian is a pretty old distro with its first release dating back to 1993, so the maintainers say that a lot of sensitive computing is still happening on 32-bit architecture. Although there are still roughly 13 years to go before we reach 2038, developers want to proactively tackle the problem rather than having to scramble at the last minute like with Y2K, according to The Register. Another name for Y2K38 is the Unix Epochalypse, since it impacts systems that store datetime values in the Unix format within a signed 32-bit space. On January 19, 2038, 03:14:07 UTC, this space will overflow. As such, Debian maintainers will use 64-bit time_t formats even on 32-bit architectures starting with the release of Debian 13 "Trixie". This is not a small change, as maintainers found the use of the time_t variable in random places across 6,429 packages. The maintainers went on to say that: This may be a breaking change for some applications, so it is important to test your program's response to the time_t variable switch by leveraging the Debian wiki. Interestingly, Y2K38 may also impact certain older Windows programs and out-of-support Windows operating systems.
