It's prohibited by the "raw HTML" formatter policy (an obvious misnomer). Only http/https and mailto protocols are currently allowed in href attributes.
You need a plugin that is more lenient with what is allowed. It should be trivial to write one yourself (basically [1] without the line calling the sanitize method should do it), but it looks like the Pegdown Formatter Plugin (keep 'SUPPRESS_ALL_HTML' unchecked) works as well -- but it will introduce Markdown formatting as well. Obviously, all of this (unless implemented really carefully, maybe) will reduce security. 1: https://github.com/jenkinsci/antisamy-markup-formatter-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/hudson/markup/RawHtmlMarkupFormatter.java On 05.03.2014, at 05:40, mpc8250 <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All > > We try to put some description on Jenkins page and place a href link using > ftp. > It appears that Jenkins top/system page refuses to set/accept a simple link > like this. > It returns as a text "test". > > <a href="ftp://hostname.test.com/some/path>test</a> > > Hudson UI has no issue with this syntax. > How can we restore this function in Jenkins ? > > Thanks > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Jenkins Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
