When I go to certain web pages with an embedded link.. Like:

http://machinedesign.com/motorsdrives/designing-hub-brushless-motors?NL=MD-08&Issue=MD-08_20140729_MD-08_630&YM_RID=wbgjr%40hotmail.com&YM_MID=1479089&sfvc4enews=42&cl=article_1

and I click on the embedded link, in this case it is the "Download this article in .PDF format" button, I get the web address below:

http://machinedesign.com/http://machinedesign.com/datasheet/designing-hub-brushless-motors-pdf-download

As you can see, there two "http://....."

And the link fails.. if I manually remove the first http://... up to the second (correct) http://... the link works fine.

How can I fix this?

Thanks, Bill

There is a typo in the URL and a leading '/' is present that causes this issue. 

<a href="/http://machinedesign.com/datasheet/designing-hub-brushless-motors-pdf-download">Download this article in .PDF format</a>

A possible way to fix this is to right-click the link and open the built-in Inspector (Inspect Element) and double-click that link to edit that attribute and remove that leading '/'.
