I need to insert a link to my comments in stackoverflow.

The domain of the url is a template something like --

http:// mydomain:host /etc/

The issue is that stackoverflow does not let me proceed if I were to add the above URL in my answers. Also if I try to force the addition by adding <> i.e. <http:// mydomain:host /etc/> Stack Overflow still does not let me.

How do I add such URLs?

  • Just add the URL: stackoverflow.com. You cannot add private URLs, like localhost, however. What specific URLs are you prevented from adding?

    And are you asking about comments or answers? You use both terms in your question.

    Last but not least, new users (with less than 10 reputation) can only post 2 hyperlinks per post, to prevent excessive spamming.

  • The URL is a template and not an actual url.

  • Then use backticks to quote it, like I used when I edited your question.

If you are trying to post sample URLs that are not meant to be actual hyperlinks, then post them with backticks to mark them as 'code-ish':

`http://localhost:1234/etc`

becomes: http://localhost:1234/etc.
