Redirect to an other website

Question

i'm trying to create a link that redirect to another website like this :

<a target="_blank" href="exemple.com/test">hello</a>

but it redirect me to mywebsite.com/exemple.com/test

How can i make it work ? :)

EDIT : Correct answer was to use // before url

href="//exemple.com/test"

Please read the entire question before saying it's duplicate.... — Jeremy M., Feb 26 '18 at 11:52
_“i need to make it work with this url”_ - you can’t, because that’s not how URLs work. `exemple.com/test` _is_ a relative URL, that refers to a file or folder named `test` inside a folder named `exemple.com` inside the current directory. So your question makes very little sense to begin with. — CBroe, Feb 26 '18 at 11:52
You did not understand then. exemple.com/test is another website. If you put my url inside google search bar it will find my website. — Jeremy M., Feb 26 '18 at 11:58
@JérémyMisiti — The Google Search bar is doing a *search* not following a URL. — Quentin, Feb 26 '18 at 11:59

You are giving relative URL. Give absolute url instead to achieve your goal.

e.g.

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.exemple.com/test">hello</a>

@JérémyMisiti – Your URL is *wrong*. Plain and simple. Fix the URL. – Quentin Feb 26 '18 at 11:49
My url work. i'm creating a redirect service i need to have the smallest url possible. So i need to make my exemple.com url work. – Jeremy M. Feb 26 '18 at 11:53
@JérémyMisiti – The error recovery that browsers perform when you type a URL with the scheme missing into the address bar does not get run when you have a URL somewhere that a relative URL would make sense. – Quentin Feb 26 '18 at 11:58
I used `//exemple.com/test` and it worked. So there's senses. – Jeremy M. Feb 26 '18 at 11:59
@JérémyMisiti — Congratulations. You have changed the URL as described in the answer to the question you claimed was not a duplicate. – Quentin Feb 26 '18 at 12:00
But i need to make this redirect to http and not https – Jeremy M. Feb 26 '18 at 12:03

If you want to explicitly redirect it to http. Why can't you write 'http' in the URL? – Ishwar Patil Feb 26 '18 at 12:04
i need to make my url as small as possible – Jeremy M. Feb 26 '18 at 12:05
