Linking to a port

Very stupid question, I must have missed something here

I've added a landing page to my server for remote admin duties, this is a simple HTML page containing a few links, no fancy CSS etc.
I'm trying to link to a port number, like this:

Code:

http://SERVER:8112

I'm getting a forward slash between the end of the server URL and the port number, no matter how I format my link, so the page looks like this:

Code:

http://SERVER/:8112

Anyone care to point out what I've missed

Are you using any sort of framework?

edit: or are you using any .htaccess files?

Nope, absolute standard HTML file, no frameworks or .htacess:

Code:

<HTML><HEAD>
<b><u>Web Interfaces</b></u>
<a href="http://unimatrix-001/NZB/index.php">HellaNZB web interface</a><br>
<a href="http://unimatrix-001/backuppc">BackupPC web interface</a><br>
<a href="https://unimatrix-001:10000">Webmin Login</a><br>
<a href="http://unimatrix-001:10001">Azureus web interface</a><br>
</body></html>

This is as far as I've got really

Might get round to adding an uptime/ status widget, but all I'm really after is a simple landing page with links to all the management functions. (This way I can simply bookmark a single page on the phone)

Not supposed to be pretty or fancy, just needs to do the job properly.

Works fine for me? :confused:

<a href="www.test.com:12345">Test</a>

*click*

"Error!
The address type is unknown or unsupported

You tried to access the address www.test.com:12345, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page."

What browser is this messing up in?

Does it still work?!

@ Sin_Chase - You need the protocol at the start.
