I am trying to: Save a post that has a file field.
Link to a page where the issue can be seen: It's on my local server, which talks to MAMP on port 8888.
I expected to see: After updating the file filed with this URL, "hidden link", I expected to see this value saved.
Instead, I got: "Please enter a valid URL address pointing to the file." If I copy and past that exact URL "hidden link" into the browser bar, the image loads in the browser, so it definitely exists. Conversely, if I change the domain in the URL from "langorigami5:8888" to "langorigami.com", the field is happily saved—even though the file "hidden link" doesn't actually exist. So it appears that it's the port 8888 that causes the problem.
